You don’t have time for damaged equipment or missed deadlines. When your heavy machinery needs to move from point A to point B, it happens without scratches, delays, or surprise costs that blow up your project budget.
Your construction timeline stays on track because the right trailer gets selected for your specific equipment. No guessing about weight limits or height clearances. No scrambling for permits at the last minute.
The equipment arrives exactly when you need it, positioned where you need it, ready to get back to work immediately.
We’ve been moving equipment throughout Ballston Lake and Saratoga County since 1997. We understand the local soil conditions that affect loading sites, know which routes work best for oversized loads, and maintain working relationships with area inspectors.
This isn’t a crew that shows up guessing about your property or the local requirements. We’ve handled equipment moves on properties from the flats near Kayaderosseras Creek to the rolling hills throughout the area.
When you work with local operators, you get the benefit of our experience with similar moves right in your backyard.
Every equipment move starts with understanding what you’re moving and where it needs to go. We evaluate your equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements before selecting the right trailer configuration.
Once the logistics are planned, we coordinate pickup timing with your schedule. The equipment gets loaded using proper rigging and tie-downs, with attention to protecting hydraulic lines, tracks, and other vulnerable components.
During transport, we handle any required permits and escort vehicles for oversized loads. Your equipment gets delivered to the exact location you specify, positioned for immediate use or storage according to your needs.

Our equipment moving services handle everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialty construction equipment. Lowboy trailers accommodate tall equipment that won’t fit on standard flatbeds, while RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers allow easy loading by driving equipment directly onto the deck.
For Ballston Lake properties, we understand the local challenges that affect equipment moves. Rocky areas and seasonal drainage patterns can impact loading and unloading sites. Some locations near the lake may have softer ground during wet seasons that requires different positioning strategies.
We handle permit requirements for oversized loads, coordinate with utility companies when necessary, and provide escort vehicles when required. The goal is eliminating the logistics headaches so you can focus on your actual construction work instead of transportation details.
We use several trailer types depending on your equipment specifications. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment because their low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and reduces the need for overheight permits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ramp, allowing you to drive equipment directly onto the trailer. This works particularly well for tracked equipment like excavators and bulldozers.
For lighter equipment or multiple pieces, we might use step-deck trailers. The right choice depends on your equipment’s height, weight, length, and how it needs to be loaded and unloaded at both ends of the move.
Our trailer capacity ranges from 40,000 pounds for two-axle lowboy configurations up to 80,000+ pounds total weight for multi-axle setups. The exact capacity depends on the trailer configuration and the number of axles required for your specific load.
Weight distribution matters as much as total weight. We evaluate your equipment’s weight distribution, ground pressure, and center of gravity to select the right trailer and axle configuration. This ensures safe transport while staying within legal weight limits.
If your equipment exceeds standard weight limits, we can arrange specialized multi-axle trailers and obtain the necessary permits for overweight transport throughout Saratoga County.
Yes, we handle permit coordination for oversized and overweight loads as part of our equipment moving service. This includes determining which permits are required based on your equipment dimensions and the planned transport route.
Different permits may be required depending on whether your move stays within Saratoga County or crosses state lines. We’re familiar with New York State requirements and work with local authorities to ensure proper permits are in place before transport begins.
We also coordinate escort vehicles when required for wide or oversized loads. This eliminates the guesswork and ensures your equipment move complies with all applicable regulations from pickup to delivery.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size and weight, distance traveled, trailer type required, and any special handling needs. Local moves within Saratoga County typically cost less than long-distance transport.
Additional factors that affect pricing include permit requirements for oversized loads, the need for escort vehicles, loading and unloading complexity, and timing requirements. Rush jobs or moves requiring weekend or holiday service may involve additional charges.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific equipment and move requirements. This eliminates surprise costs and lets you budget accurately for the transportation portion of your project.
For standard equipment moves within the local area, we typically recommend scheduling at least 48-72 hours in advance. This allows time for proper planning, permit coordination if needed, and scheduling the right trailer and operator for your move.
Oversized loads requiring special permits may need additional lead time, especially if the move involves multiple jurisdictions or requires route surveys. Complex moves or those requiring specialized trailers might need a week or more of advance planning.
However, we understand that construction schedules change. We maintain flexibility for urgent moves when possible and can often accommodate same-day or next-day service for standard equipment within our local service area.
Yes, we regularly handle equipment moves involving challenging access conditions throughout the Ballston Lake area. This includes narrow driveways, soft ground conditions, steep grades, and sites with overhead clearance restrictions.
Our operators have experience with local terrain challenges including rocky areas, seasonal wet spots, and properties with limited maneuvering space. We evaluate access conditions during the planning phase and bring the right equipment for safe loading and unloading.
When standard trailers can’t access a site, we can arrange alternative solutions such as smaller trailers for the final positioning, or coordinate with crane services for lifting equipment over obstacles. The goal is getting your equipment where it needs to be regardless of site challenges.
