Heavy Equipment Moving Company Bolton Landing

Local Expertise You Can Count On

We’ve been serving Bolton Landing and the surrounding Warren County area since 1997. What started as a logging operation has evolved into a full-service excavation and equipment moving company that understands the unique challenges of working in the Adirondack region.

Josh personally oversees nearly every equipment move, bringing the same attention to detail that built our reputation in excavation work. We know the seasonal traffic patterns, the narrow roads that require special planning, and the local regulations that keep your transport legal and compliant.

As a family business with deep local roots, we’re not just moving your equipment – we’re protecting an investment that matters to your business and your community.

Professional Equipment Moving Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Every equipment move starts with understanding exactly what we’re transporting and where it needs to go. We assess your machinery’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements, then select the right trailer – whether that’s a lowboy, RGN removable gooseneck, or specialized Landoll trailer.

Before your equipment leaves its current location, we handle all necessary permits and route planning. This includes checking bridge clearances, identifying any road restrictions, and coordinating with local authorities when required for oversized loads.

On transport day, we arrive with the right equipment and experienced operators. Your machinery is secured using proper tie-down techniques and protective materials. Throughout the move, you’ll know exactly where your equipment is and when it will arrive. We don’t consider the job complete until your equipment is safely positioned exactly where you need it.

Bolton Landing Equipment Transport Services

Complete Equipment Moving Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact construction equipment to large industrial machinery. We handle lowboy trailer transport for excavators, bulldozers, and other tracked equipment that requires low-profile hauling. Our RGN removable gooseneck trailers make loading and unloading simple for wheeled equipment.

For taller equipment, our hydraulic tilt trailers and Landoll sliding axle trailers provide the clearance and flexibility needed for safe transport. We’re equipped to handle oversize loads that require special permits and escort vehicles, ensuring full compliance with New York State regulations.

Bolton Landing’s unique geography – with its proximity to Lake George and seasonal tourism traffic – requires local knowledge that out-of-area transport companies simply don’t have. We know which routes to avoid during peak summer months, how to navigate the area’s narrow roads, and when weather conditions might affect transport schedules. This local expertise keeps your equipment moving efficiently while avoiding the delays and complications that can derail your project timeline.

What types of trailers do you use for equipment moving in Bolton Landing?

We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment’s specific requirements. Lowboy trailers are ideal for heavy, tracked equipment like excavators and bulldozers because they sit close to the ground and can handle loads up to 40,000 pounds while keeping the overall height under legal limits.

For equipment that needs to be driven on and off, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers where the front section detaches to create a ramp. Landoll trailers with sliding axles provide extra flexibility for longer equipment, while hydraulic tilt trailers work best for wheeled equipment that can’t be driven.

The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. We assess each job individually to determine which trailer type will provide the safest, most efficient transport for your particular machinery and route requirements.

We handle all permit requirements as part of our service, so you don’t have to navigate the regulatory process yourself. For loads that exceed standard legal dimensions – typically over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 80,000 pounds – we obtain the necessary oversize/overweight permits from New York State.

This process includes route surveys to identify any restrictions like low bridges or weight-limited roads. For particularly large loads, we coordinate with local authorities and arrange for escort vehicles when required by law. We also check for any seasonal restrictions or construction zones that might affect the planned route.

The permit process can take several days, so we always plan ahead to ensure your transport stays on schedule. All permit costs are included in our upfront pricing, so there are no surprise fees when the job is complete.

The main difference lies in how equipment is loaded and what type of machinery each trailer handles best. Lowboy trailers have a fixed low deck that sits close to the ground, making them perfect for heavy, tracked equipment like excavators that need to be loaded with a crane or ramps.

RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ramp when removed. This allows wheeled equipment like wheel loaders or agricultural tractors to be driven directly onto the trailer deck. RGNs also typically offer more deck length and can handle longer equipment.

Both trailer types keep your equipment’s center of gravity low for stable transport, but the choice depends on your specific equipment. Tracked machines usually go on lowboys, while wheeled equipment that can drive under its own power typically uses RGN trailers. We’ll recommend the best option based on your equipment’s size, weight, and loading requirements.

Equipment protection starts with proper securement using heavy-duty chains, straps, and blocking materials rated for your equipment’s weight. We position tie-down points to distribute stress evenly and prevent damage to hydraulic lines, mirrors, or other vulnerable components.

For equipment with exposed hydraulics or delicate parts, we use protective covers and padding. Tracks and tires are blocked to prevent movement, and any loose components are either secured or removed for separate transport. We also check fluid levels and ensure batteries are disconnected when necessary.

During transport, we monitor road conditions and adjust our route or speed for weather, construction zones, or rough roads. Our drivers are experienced in handling heavy loads and understand how different road conditions affect equipment stability. We also carry comprehensive insurance specifically for equipment transport, providing additional protection for your valuable machinery.

We primarily serve Bolton Landing and the surrounding Warren, Washington, and Saratoga County areas where we have the deepest local knowledge. This includes communities around Lake George, Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, and the broader Capital District region.

For longer-distance moves, we can coordinate transport throughout New York State and into neighboring states when needed. However, our strength lies in understanding the local challenges – seasonal traffic patterns around Lake George, narrow mountain roads, and the specific regulations that apply in our region.

Our local focus means we know which routes work best during different seasons, how to navigate around summer tourism traffic, and which roads have weight or height restrictions that could affect your transport. This local expertise often makes the difference between a smooth move and costly delays or complications.

For standard equipment moves using our regular fleet, we typically recommend scheduling at least 3-5 days in advance. This gives us time to coordinate the right trailer, plan the optimal route, and ensure our schedule aligns with your project needs.

For oversized loads requiring permits, plan for 1-2 weeks advance notice. Permit processing, route surveys, and coordination with authorities takes additional time, and rushing this process can lead to delays or complications.

During busy construction seasons (typically April through October in our area), scheduling further in advance helps ensure availability. We also recommend flexibility with timing when possible, as weather conditions or unexpected road closures can sometimes require schedule adjustments. The key is early communication – the sooner we know about your equipment moving needs, the better we can coordinate to meet your project timeline.
