Equipment Transport Process Burnt Hills

Simple Process, Professional Execution

Equipment moving starts with understanding exactly what you need transported. We assess your machinery’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. This determines which trailer type works best – lowboy, RGN, or specialized carrier.

Next comes route planning and permit coordination. Oversize loads require specific permits and sometimes escort vehicles. We handle this paperwork and coordinate with local authorities to ensure legal compliance throughout the transport.

Loading happens with proper equipment and experienced operators. Your machinery gets secured using appropriate tie-downs and blocking to prevent movement during transport. We document the equipment’s condition before loading to protect both parties.

Transport includes regular communication updates so you know where your equipment is and when it will arrive. Upon delivery, we carefully unload your machinery and verify its condition matches the pre-transport documentation.

Complete Equipment Transport Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover the full range of construction and industrial machinery common in the Burnt Hills area. Lowboy trailers handle standard construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and skid steers. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers work for taller equipment that needs ground loading capability.

Landoll trailers with sliding axles provide flexibility for different load configurations. Hydraulic tilt trailers make loading and unloading easier for equipment that can’t be driven onto standard trailers.

The Capital Region’s construction industry relies on timely equipment delivery to keep projects moving. Local contractors know that equipment breakdowns or transport delays can cost thousands in lost productivity. Our specialized transport services ensure your machinery reaches job sites when promised, properly secured and ready for immediate use.

What types of construction equipment can you move with lowboy trailers?

We transport excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, track loaders, compact track loaders, wheel loaders, backhoes, and similar construction equipment throughout the Burnt Hills area. Our lowboy trailers can handle equipment up to legal weight limits, typically around 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight.

For taller equipment or machinery that exceeds standard height restrictions, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers that allow ground loading. This includes equipment like large excavators, cranes, or specialized industrial machinery.

Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually to determine the best trailer type and transport method. We consider weight distribution, center of gravity, and any special handling requirements your machinery might need.

Yes, we coordinate all necessary permits for oversize loads and arrange escort vehicles when required by New York State regulations. Oversize permits are required when equipment exceeds standard width, height, or length limits, which happens frequently with construction equipment.

The permit process involves submitting detailed load information, route planning, and coordinating with state and local authorities. We handle this paperwork and ensure compliance with all regulations, including specific travel time restrictions that sometimes apply to oversize loads.

Escort vehicles are required for loads exceeding certain dimensions, typically when width exceeds 12 feet or height exceeds 13’6″. We arrange certified escort drivers and ensure they understand the route and any special requirements for your particular load.

Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size and weight, transport distance, permit requirements, and any special handling needs. Local moves within the Capital Region typically cost less per mile than long-distance transport.

Oversize loads requiring permits and escorts cost more than standard loads that fit within legal limits. Equipment that needs special loading procedures or additional securing also affects pricing.

We provide written estimates that include all costs upfront – transport, permits, escorts if needed, and any special handling requirements. No surprise fees or hidden charges after the job starts. Most local equipment moves in the Burnt Hills area range from $500 to $2,500 depending on the factors mentioned above.

We maintain comprehensive commercial vehicle insurance and cargo coverage that protects your equipment during transport. Our insurance meets all New York State requirements for commercial carriers and includes coverage for the full value of the equipment being transported.

Cargo insurance covers damage that might occur during loading, transport, or unloading operations. This includes coverage for equipment damage caused by accidents, weather, or other unforeseen circumstances during the transport process.

We can provide proof of insurance and add you as an additional insured party if required by your company policies. Our insurance coverage and safety record allow us to transport high-value construction equipment with confidence that both parties are protected.

For standard equipment moves within the Capital Region, we typically need 2-3 days advance notice to coordinate scheduling and any necessary permits. Rush jobs can sometimes be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, depending on equipment availability and permit requirements.

Oversize loads requiring special permits need more advance planning, usually 3-5 days minimum. The permit application process takes time, and some permits specify exact travel dates and times that can’t be changed once approved.

During busy construction seasons (spring through fall), scheduling fills up faster and requires more advance notice. Winter equipment moves are often easier to schedule on shorter notice since construction activity typically slows down during cold months.

We regularly deliver equipment to challenging job sites throughout the Burnt Hills area, including locations with narrow access roads, steep grades, or limited turning radius. Our experience with local terrain and various trailer configurations allows us to handle most access challenges.

Before transport, we evaluate the delivery route and destination to identify any potential issues. This includes checking bridge weight limits, overhead clearances, and road conditions that might affect delivery.

Sometimes difficult access requires smaller trailers or alternative delivery methods. We can coordinate with crane services for situations where equipment needs to be lifted off the trailer, or arrange for delivery to an accessible staging area near your job site.
