Your Equipment Arrives Safely, On Time

Professional equipment moving with the right trailer for every load, backed by our local Saratoga County expertise you can trust.

Lowboy Trailer Transport Ballston

No Delays, No Damage, No Surprises

When your project timeline depends on equipment arriving intact and on schedule, you need transporters who understand what’s at stake. Your excavator doesn’t sit idle waiting for a replacement part because someone used the wrong trailer. Your new loader doesn’t arrive with hydraulic damage because the crew didn’t know how to secure it properly.

You get equipment that’s ready to work the moment it hits your Ballston job site. Your project stays on track, your budget stays intact, and you can focus on building instead of dealing with transport problems that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Heavy Equipment Hauling Ballston NY

Family Business, Local Knowledge, Real Results

We’ve been moving equipment throughout Ballston and Saratoga County since 1997. We started as a logging operation, so we understand heavy machinery from the ground up. Josh, our owner, is present on almost every job to ensure your equipment gets the care it deserves.

We’ve navigated every back road in Ballston, dealt with every local regulation, and solved the same transport challenges your neighbors face. When you need a 20-ton excavator moved from Route 50 to a job site off Charlton Road, you’re working with people who know exactly which route avoids the low bridge and seasonal weight restrictions.

That’s the advantage of working with a family business that lives and works in the same community you do.

RGN Trailer Equipment Moving

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer for the job. A compact excavator needs different handling than a 40,000-pound bulldozer, and we match the transport method to your specific machine. We handle New York State permits, route planning through Saratoga County, and scheduling to work with your timeline.

Loading happens with the proper equipment and techniques for your machinery type. Our operators understand how to secure different equipment safely, whether it’s tracked, wheeled, or requires special positioning for transport through Ballston’s varied terrain.

During transport, we monitor the load and maintain communication about delivery timing. At delivery, we position your equipment exactly where you need it on your job site, ready for operation. No surprises, no damage, no delays that throw off the rest of your project.

Landoll Trailer Services Ballston

Complete Equipment Transport Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover everything from small utility tractors to oversized construction machinery throughout Ballston and surrounding areas. We maintain lowboy trailers, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and Landoll trailers to handle different load requirements. Whether you need ground loading for equipment without ramps or hydraulic tilt capabilities for specialized positioning, we have the right setup.

Ballston’s location in Saratoga County means dealing with seasonal weight restrictions on local roads, navigating around the low railroad bridge on Route 67, and understanding which routes work best for oversized loads heading to job sites near Ballston Lake or towards Saratoga Springs. We know these roads because we travel them regularly, not because we looked them up on a map.

Emergency transport is available when equipment breaks down on Ballston job sites or when project timelines suddenly accelerate. We maintain backup equipment and can typically mobilize within hours for urgent situations, understanding that downtime costs money in our local construction market.

What types of trailers do you use for different equipment?

We select trailers based on your equipment’s size, weight, and loading requirements. Lowboy trailers work well for most construction equipment because the low deck height accommodates taller machines while staying under bridge clearances throughout Saratoga County. RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers are ideal when you need to drive equipment directly onto the deck without using ramps.

Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt and sliding axle capabilities, making them perfect for equipment that requires precise positioning during loading or has unusual weight distribution. For standard excavators, skid steers, and similar machinery, a lowboy typically provides the most cost-effective transport. Larger or taller equipment might require an RGN or specialized configuration.

We evaluate each load individually because using the wrong trailer type can damage your equipment or create unnecessary complications during transport through Ballston’s road network.

Oversize load transport requires specific permits, route planning, and often escort vehicles depending on the dimensions. We handle all permit applications through New York State DOT and coordinate with local authorities when routes pass through Ballston or other municipal areas in Saratoga County. Most oversize permits in New York are valid for five days, with specific travel time restrictions.

Route planning considers bridge heights like the railroad crossing on Route 67, seasonal weight restrictions on county roads, and road conditions specific to our area. Some equipment requires travel during specific hours or days of the week, and we coordinate timing to meet both regulatory requirements and your delivery needs.

For extremely large loads, we conduct route surveys to identify potential obstacles before transport begins. This prevents delays and ensures your equipment arrives at your Ballston job site on schedule without encountering clearance issues that could have been avoided with proper planning.

Lowboy trailers have a fixed gooseneck and require ramps or loading equipment to get machinery on and off the deck. They’re excellent for most construction equipment because the low profile provides good stability and clearance for taller machines. Loading typically happens with a yard ramp or by driving equipment up from a loading dock.

RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section, allowing equipment to drive straight onto the deck from ground level. This makes loading and unloading much easier for tracked equipment like excavators or dozers that can’t easily navigate steep ramps, especially important on uneven Ballston job sites.

The choice depends on your equipment and loading situation. If you have loading dock access or can use ramps safely, a lowboy might be more cost-effective. If you need to load from uneven ground or your equipment has limited climbing ability, an RGN provides easier access and reduces the risk of loading accidents.

Transport costs depend on equipment size, distance, trailer type required, and timing. Local moves within Saratoga County typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, but oversize loads requiring permits and escorts increase pricing regardless of distance. A standard excavator moving locally costs significantly less than the same machine requiring oversize permits for transport.

Emergency or rush transport commands premium pricing because it requires immediate crew availability and potentially disrupts other scheduled loads. Seasonal factors also affect pricing, with winter transport sometimes requiring additional precautions or equipment due to Ballston’s weather conditions.

We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific equipment and transport requirements. This includes trailer selection, permit costs, escort requirements if needed, and any special handling your equipment requires. Transparent pricing means no surprises when the job is complete.

Yes, we regularly transport equipment between job sites, storage yards, dealers, and repair facilities throughout Ballston, Saratoga County, and surrounding areas. Many local contractors use our services to move equipment between multiple active projects or to relocate machinery seasonally between summer construction sites and winter storage.

Job site deliveries require coordination with your project timeline and site access requirements. We work around active construction schedules in Ballston and can deliver equipment positioned for immediate use. If site access is limited by narrow roads or requires special timing to avoid traffic, we coordinate with your project manager to ensure smooth delivery.

We also handle equipment pickup when projects are complete or when machines need service. This includes transporting equipment to dealer locations for warranty work, moving machinery to storage facilities during Ballston’s off-seasons, or relocating equipment when contractors expand into new service areas.

Emergency transport is available when equipment breaks down on Ballston job sites or when project schedules suddenly change. We understand that construction delays cost money, and getting replacement equipment to your site quickly can mean the difference between minor inconvenience and major project disruption, especially during Ballston’s short construction season.

Our emergency response typically mobilizes within a few hours during business hours and can arrange after-hours service for critical situations. We maintain relationships with equipment dealers and rental companies throughout Saratoga County, so we can coordinate equipment pickup and delivery even when your regular supplier isn’t immediately available.

Emergency service does command premium pricing because it requires immediate crew availability and potentially disrupts scheduled transport jobs. However, the cost is usually far less than the project delays and lost productivity that result from having equipment stranded on Ballston job sites or being unable to get replacement machinery delivered quickly.
