When your construction equipment needs to move, you can’t afford delays or damage. Our lowboy trailer transport services keep your bulldozers, excavators, and specialized machinery secure during transport across Bakertown and throughout New York.
You get equipment that arrives undamaged and ready for immediate use. No surprise repair costs, no project delays, no scrambling to find replacement machinery while yours sits in a shop getting fixed.
Your timeline stays intact because we understand that every day your equipment sits idle costs money. We handle the permits, plan the safest routes, and coordinate delivery windows that work with your schedule.
We’ve been serving Bakertown and the surrounding region since 1997. We started as a logging operation and evolved into full-service excavation and equipment transport because we understand what contractors need.
Josh personally oversees most jobs, ensuring your equipment gets the careful handling it deserves. We’re not a faceless corporation – we’re your neighbors who’ve built our reputation one successful transport at a time.
Our equipment stays maintained, our drivers know the local roads and weight restrictions, and we show up when we say we will. That’s how family businesses survive in small communities like ours.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type – whether you need a standard lowboy, RGN with detachable gooseneck, or specialized Landoll trailer for ground loading. We handle all permit requirements and route planning upfront.
Loading happens with hydraulic systems and proper tie-down techniques that meet DOT standards. Your equipment gets secured using heavy-duty chains and straps positioned to distribute weight evenly and prevent shifting during transport.
Transport follows pre-planned routes that avoid low bridges and weight-restricted roads. We communicate throughout the process, so you know exactly when to expect delivery. Unloading uses the same careful approach, and we don’t leave until your equipment is positioned where you need it.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialized construction machinery. We handle oversize load transport with proper permitting and escort vehicles when required.
Bakertown’s location in upstate New York presents unique challenges with seasonal weight restrictions and rural road limitations. Our drivers know which routes to avoid during spring thaw and how to navigate around the area’s many historic bridges with height restrictions.
You get transparent pricing with no hidden fees for permits or route planning. Our Landoll trailers provide hydraulic tilt capability for easy loading of wheeled equipment, while our RGN trailers offer ground-level loading for tracked machinery that can’t be driven onto standard trailers.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, compactors, skid steers, and most construction machinery up to legal weight limits. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment heights up to 11.5 feet without special permits.
For taller equipment like boom lifts or cranes, we coordinate overheight permits and escort services. Our RGN trailers with detachable goosenecks work well for tracked equipment that needs ground-level loading, while our Landoll trailers are perfect for wheeled machinery that can drive on and off.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. We evaluate dimensions, weight distribution, and loading requirements to ensure safe transport and compliance with all regulations.
We manage the entire permit process as part of our service. New York requires permits for loads exceeding 8.5 feet wide, 13.6 feet high, or standard weight limits, and we know exactly what’s required.
Our team submits permit applications with detailed load specifications, route plans, and timing requirements. We coordinate with local authorities and arrange escort vehicles when mandated by permit conditions.
You don’t need to worry about permit delays or regulatory compliance issues. We build permit processing time into our scheduling and keep you informed of any restrictions that might affect your delivery timeline.
Lowboy trailers have fixed necks and require equipment to be driven or lifted onto the deck. They’re ideal for wheeled equipment that can load under its own power and work well for routine transport jobs.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers detach at the front, allowing the trailer to drop to ground level and create a ramp. This makes loading much easier for tracked equipment or machinery that can’t easily drive onto a raised deck.
We select the trailer type based on your equipment’s loading capabilities and dimensions. RGN trailers offer more flexibility but cost slightly more due to the specialized hydraulic systems and additional setup time required.
For standard equipment moves within New York, we typically need 3-5 days notice to coordinate scheduling and permits. Rush jobs can often be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, depending on equipment availability.
Oversize loads requiring special permits need more lead time – usually 7-10 days to process permits and coordinate with authorities. Complex moves involving multiple pieces or long-distance transport may require additional planning time.
The best approach is to call as soon as you know you’ll need equipment moved. We can provide preliminary scheduling and adjust as your timeline becomes clearer, ensuring your equipment arrives exactly when you need it.
Yes, we provide equipment moving services throughout New York State and into neighboring states when needed. Our drivers are familiar with interstate regulations and can handle long-distance transport efficiently.
Local moves within the Capital Region and surrounding counties are our specialty, but we regularly transport equipment to job sites across New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Each move gets the same careful planning regardless of distance.
Pricing varies based on distance, permits required, and route complexity. We provide detailed quotes that include all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect whether you’re moving equipment across town or across state lines.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment from pickup to delivery. This includes protection against damage from accidents, weather, and handling incidents during loading and unloading.
Our coverage meets or exceeds industry standards and provides full replacement value protection for most construction equipment. We can provide certificates of insurance and specific coverage details before transport begins.
You should also check with your own insurance provider about coverage during transport. Many equipment policies include transport coverage, and we’re happy to coordinate with your insurance company to ensure complete protection throughout the moving process.
