When your construction schedule depends on equipment being where it needs to be, you want a machine moving company that’s done this before in Ballston Spa’s unique terrain and regulatory environment.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout Ballston Spa and Saratoga County since 1997. We know the local terrain, understand the permit requirements, and work with the same contractors you do.
This is a family operation where Josh is present on almost every job. When you call us, you’re working with people who live here too and have to stand behind the quality of work we deliver.
We’ve moved everything from compact excavators to full-size bulldozers for homeowners building new houses, commercial developers, and contractors working throughout the Ballston Spa area.
First, we assess your equipment and the move requirements. We need to understand the dimensions, weight, pickup location, and destination to plan the safest route and secure the proper permits if needed.
Next, we schedule the move around your timeline and coordinate with any other contractors involved in your project. Our operators arrive with the right equipment to load, secure, and transport your machinery safely.
Finally, we deliver your equipment exactly where you need it and in the same condition it left. No surprises, no damage, no delays that cost you time and money on your project.

We handle excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, and other construction equipment throughout Ballston Spa and surrounding areas. Our fleet includes the right trucks and trailers to move equipment safely regardless of size or weight.
Every move includes proper equipment securing, route planning, and permit handling when required. We coordinate timing with your other contractors and provide realistic schedules you can count on.
Ballston Spa’s rolling terrain and seasonal weather conditions require machinery transport services from people who understand this area. We know which roads handle heavy loads best, how to navigate around the village’s tighter streets, and what local regulations affect equipment transport in Saratoga County.
Permit requirements depend on the size and weight of your equipment. Most standard construction equipment under 80,000 pounds can be transported with basic commercial vehicle permits that we handle as part of our service.
Larger equipment may require oversize load permits from New York State DOT, which can take several days to process. We’re familiar with these requirements and will let you know during our initial consultation what permits your specific equipment needs.
For extremely heavy loads over 80,000 pounds, special “Super Load” permits are required and may need to be transported during specific hours or on designated routes. We handle all permit applications and ensure your move complies with state and local regulations.
Equipment protection starts with proper loading techniques using the right equipment for your specific machinery. We use appropriate tie-downs, blocking, and securing methods based on the equipment type and transport distance.
Our operators inspect all securing points before departure and again at stops to ensure everything remains properly positioned. We also carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment throughout the entire transport process.
Route planning is another critical protection factor. We avoid roads with low bridges, weight restrictions, or other hazards that could damage your equipment. Years of experience moving equipment in this area means we know which routes work best for different types of machinery.
Our fleet can handle everything from compact skid steers to full-size excavators and bulldozers. We regularly transport equipment weighing up to 80,000 pounds, which covers most standard construction machinery used in residential and commercial projects.
For equipment exceeding standard transport limits, we coordinate with specialized heavy haul carriers while managing the entire process for you. This includes permit applications, route surveys, and scheduling to ensure your oversized equipment reaches its destination safely.
Equipment dimensions matter as much as weight. We evaluate height, width, and length restrictions for each move and plan accordingly. Some equipment may need partial disassembly for transport, which we coordinate with your equipment dealer or service provider.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size, transport distance, permit requirements, and timing. Local moves within Ballston Spa typically cost less than longer hauls to other counties or states.
Standard construction equipment transport usually ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on these factors. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific equipment and move requirements so you know exactly what to expect.
Additional costs may include permits for oversized loads, escort vehicles for extremely large equipment, or special handling requirements. We explain all potential costs upfront so your budget stays on track without surprise charges halfway through the process.
For standard equipment moves within Ballston Spa and surrounding areas, we typically recommend scheduling at least a few days in advance. This allows time for route planning, permit processing if needed, and coordination with your project timeline.
Larger equipment requiring special permits may need a week or more advance notice, especially during busy construction seasons. Super loads and oversized equipment can require two weeks or more for permit approval and route coordination.
We also offer emergency equipment moving services when your project timeline doesn’t allow for standard scheduling. While we can often accommodate urgent moves, advance planning helps ensure the smoothest process and best pricing for your equipment transport needs.
Yes, we provide heavy equipment moving services throughout the year in Ballston Spa, though winter conditions can affect scheduling and routing. Snow and ice may require different transport methods or routes to ensure safe delivery of your equipment.
Winter equipment moves often take longer due to road conditions and reduced daylight hours for oversized loads. We plan accordingly and communicate any weather-related delays well in advance so your project timeline can be adjusted if necessary.
Spring and fall are typically the busiest seasons for equipment moving as construction projects ramp up or wind down. Scheduling moves during these peak times may require more advance notice, but we work with your timeline to keep your project moving forward regardless of season.
