We’ve been serving Barkersville and surrounding areas since 1997. We started as a logging operation and evolved into full-service excavation and heavy equipment services.
What sets us apart is simple: we’re local, we’re experienced, and we show up. Owner Josh Emerson is on-site for nearly every job, ensuring quality control you won’t get from larger companies.
We know Barkersville’s terrain, understand local regulations, and have the relationships with permitting offices that keep your equipment moving legally and efficiently. When you need heavy equipment moved in this area, you’re calling neighbors who’ve built our reputation one successful transport at a time.
First, we assess your equipment and transport requirements. We need to know dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, and any special handling needs. This helps us select the right trailer and plan the safest route.
Next, we handle permits and route planning. Heavy equipment often requires oversize permits and specific routing to avoid low bridges or weight restrictions. We coordinate with local authorities to ensure legal transport.
On moving day, our operators arrive with proper equipment to load, secure, and transport your machinery. We use specialized trailers, proper rigging techniques, and take time to secure everything correctly. Your equipment is monitored throughout transport and delivered exactly where you need it.

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversize and overweight equipment transport in New York. This includes coordinating with the Department of Transportation for oversize permits and working with local authorities when escort vehicles are required.

Heavy equipment transport costs depend on several factors including equipment size, weight, transport distance, and any special handling requirements. In the Barkersville area, you can expect costs to range from $3-5 per mile for standard equipment transport.
Additional factors that affect pricing include permit requirements, escort vehicle needs, loading/unloading complexity, and scheduling urgency. Specialized equipment or difficult access locations may require additional planning and equipment, which affects the final cost.

Before transport begins, we document equipment condition with photos and inspection reports. This protects both parties and ensures any pre-existing conditions are noted. Our goal is zero-damage transport, but comprehensive insurance provides additional peace of mind for high-value equipment moves.
For standard equipment moves within the region, we typically recommend scheduling 3-5 business days in advance. This allows time for route planning, permit processing if required, and coordination with your project schedule.
Oversize loads requiring special permits may need additional lead time, especially if escort vehicles are required or if transport must occur during specific hours. Complex moves or equipment requiring disassembly may need a week or more advance notice.
We understand construction schedules change, and we work to accommodate urgent transport needs when possible. Emergency transport is available for critical situations, though additional costs may apply for expedited permitting and scheduling. The key is communication – let us know your timeline requirements and we’ll work to meet them.
