When your equipment needs to move, you need it done right. No second chances with a $200,000 excavator or that critical piece of manufacturing equipment your production line depends on.
That’s where professional heavy equipment transport in Brayton, NY makes the difference. Your equipment arrives exactly as it left—on time, undamaged, and ready to work. No surprise costs, no permit headaches, no wondering if your move will derail your entire project timeline.
You get back to what you do best while we handle what we do best. Simple as that.
We’ve been serving Brayton and the surrounding area since 1997. What started as a logging business has grown into a trusted name in excavation and heavy equipment services, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022 to strengthen our family foundation.
Josh personally oversees nearly every job because your equipment matters as much to us as it does to you. We’re not the biggest machinery transport company in New York, but we’re the one that treats your move like it’s our own equipment on the line.
You’ll find us right here in Brayton when you need us—not in some distant office building, but in your community, understanding exactly what local contractors and businesses face every day.
First, we assess your equipment and move requirements. Weight, dimensions, destination, timeline—everything that matters gets planned upfront so there are no surprises later.
Next, we handle all permits and route planning. New York’s DOT requirements and local restrictions in Brayton are our responsibility, not yours. We know which routes work and which ones don’t.
Then we execute the move with the right equipment for your specific machinery. Whether it’s a compact excavator or industrial manufacturing equipment, we bring the proper trailers, rigging gear, and expertise your move demands.
Finally, your equipment arrives safely at its destination, ready to get back to work. You focus on your business while we focus on getting your valuable equipment where it needs to be.

Our machinery transport services in Brayton cover everything from construction equipment to industrial machinery. Excavators, bulldozers, cranes, manufacturing equipment—if it’s heavy and valuable, we move it safely.
Brayton’s mix of residential development and light industrial activity means equipment moves happen regularly. New home construction sites need excavators for site prep. Manufacturing facilities upgrade or relocate machinery. Contractors move equipment between job sites across the region.
We understand Brayton’s local terrain, from the rural roads leading to new construction sites to the industrial areas where manufacturing equipment needs careful handling. Our local knowledge means efficient routes, proper permits, and moves that work within your schedule and budget.
Every move includes comprehensive insurance coverage, professional rigging when needed, and the peace of mind that comes from working with experienced machinery movers who’ve been serving this community for over 25 years.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s weight, dimensions, and transport route. Most heavy equipment moves in New York require oversize/overweight permits from NYSDOT, especially for excavators, bulldozers, and other construction machinery.
We handle all permit applications and route approvals as part of our service. This includes determining if escort vehicles are needed, identifying approved routes that can handle your equipment’s weight, and ensuring compliance with local Brayton ordinances.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days, so we factor this into your move timeline from the start. You don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy—we take care of the paperwork so your equipment moves legally and safely.
Heavy equipment transport costs vary based on equipment size, weight, distance, and complexity of the move. Local moves within Brayton typically cost less than long-distance transport, but factors like permits, route restrictions, and rigging requirements all influence pricing.
We provide detailed, upfront quotes that include all costs—transport, permits, escorts if needed, and any special rigging required. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we’ve already moved your equipment.
For accurate pricing on your specific machinery move, we need to know equipment dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, and your timeline. This lets us give you a realistic quote that covers everything needed to complete your move safely and legally.
Yes, we regularly deliver heavy equipment to challenging construction sites throughout Brayton and surrounding areas. Limited access situations are common in residential development and rural construction projects.
Our experience includes navigating narrow roads, soft ground conditions, and tight spaces where standard transport methods won’t work. We assess site access during planning and bring appropriate equipment—whether that means smaller trailers, specialized rigging gear, or coordination with site prep work.
For extremely challenging access situations, we work with site contractors to determine the best delivery approach. Sometimes this means delivering to a staging area and using site equipment for final positioning, or coordinating delivery timing with site preparation work to ensure safe, efficient equipment placement.
Our heavy equipment transport service includes comprehensive liability coverage that protects your machinery throughout the entire move. This covers damage during loading, transport, and unloading operations.
Coverage limits are based on your equipment’s declared value, and we require accurate valuation upfront to ensure adequate protection. For high-value machinery, additional coverage options are available to meet your specific insurance requirements.
We also maintain proper licensing and bonding as required by New York State for commercial equipment transport. Before any move, we provide proof of insurance and ensure our coverage meets or exceeds your project requirements. Your equipment is protected from pickup to delivery.
For local moves within Brayton and nearby areas, we typically need 3-5 business days notice to handle permits and scheduling. Longer distance moves or complex rigging situations may require 1-2 weeks advance notice.
Peak construction season (spring through fall) fills up faster, so earlier scheduling helps ensure we can accommodate your preferred timing. Winter moves are often more flexible but may require additional considerations for weather and road conditions.
Emergency moves can sometimes be accommodated with shorter notice, depending on permit requirements and equipment availability. If you have an urgent situation, call us directly to discuss options and expedited service possibilities.
Yes, we provide professional rigging services for equipment that requires lifting, positioning, or installation assistance beyond basic transport. This includes machinery placement in manufacturing facilities, construction equipment positioning, and complex installations.
Our rigging capabilities include crane services, specialized lifting equipment, and experienced operators who understand proper rigging techniques for various machinery types. We coordinate with your installation team to ensure smooth equipment placement.
For projects requiring ongoing rigging support, we work with your contractors and facility managers to provide comprehensive equipment handling from transport through final installation. This eliminates the need to coordinate multiple service providers and ensures consistent, professional handling throughout your project.
