When your expensive machinery needs to move, you get more than just transport. You get equipment that arrives in the same condition it left, delivered exactly when you need it.
Your project timeline stays on track. No delays waiting for damaged equipment repairs or dealing with inexperienced movers who don’t understand what a $200,000 excavator requires.
Your machinery gets handled by operators who know the difference between moving a piece of equipment and relocating someone’s business investment. That’s the difference between hoping your equipment makes it safely and knowing it will.
We’ve been serving Burnt Hills and the Capital Region since 1997. We understand local conditions, state regulations, and what it takes to move heavy equipment safely through New York.
We’re not just another transport company. We’re the excavation contractors who know exactly how valuable your equipment is because we use the same types of machinery every day.
When Josh started this family business, the goal was simple: provide the kind of service we’d want for our own equipment. That means showing up when we say we will, handling your machinery like it’s our own, and making sure you can focus on your work instead of worrying about transport problems.
Every heavy equipment move starts with understanding exactly what you need moved, where it’s going, and when it needs to be there. We assess your equipment specifications, plan the safest route, and handle all permit requirements.
Our team coordinates pickup timing with your schedule. We use proper loading equipment and securing techniques that protect your machinery during transport. All necessary permits get handled in advance, so there are no delays or surprise fees.
Delivery happens according to your timeline. We don’t just drop off your equipment and leave. We position it where you need it and make sure everything is ready for your next phase of work. The job isn’t finished until your equipment is exactly where it needs to be, ready to get back to making you money.

Heavy equipment moving in Burnt Hills requires more than just a truck and trailer. You need operators who understand New York’s permit requirements, route restrictions, and the specific challenges of moving oversized loads through the Capital Region.
Our service includes route planning that avoids low bridges and weight-restricted roads common in upstate New York. We handle all required permits, including New York State DOT permits and any local requirements specific to Burnt Hills and Saratoga County.
Every move includes proper equipment securing, insurance coverage, and coordination with local authorities when required. We work with your timeline, not against it, because we understand that equipment downtime costs money. Whether you’re moving a single excavator or relocating an entire fleet, you get the same attention to detail and commitment to getting it done right.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size, weight, distance, and permit requirements. Local moves within the Burnt Hills area typically range from $300-500, while longer distances can cost $3-5 per mile.
The final price includes route planning, all necessary permits, proper loading and securing equipment, and delivery coordination. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins.
Factors that affect pricing include equipment dimensions (oversized loads require special permits), travel distance, timing requirements, and any special handling needs. We’ll assess your specific situation and provide a clear, written estimate that covers all aspects of the move.
New York requires special hauling permits for equipment exceeding legal limits of 80,000 pounds, 53 feet long, 13½ feet high, or 8½ feet wide. These permits are valid for five travel days and must specify exact routes and travel times.
Equipment over 14 feet high requires route surveys, and loads exceeding certain dimensions need escort vehicles. New York City has additional requirements, including permits for loads over 65 feet long even when traveling through the city.
We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with state and local requirements. This includes coordinating with the New York State DOT, obtaining proper insurance documentation, and scheduling any required escorts. You don’t need to worry about navigating the permit process – we take care of all regulatory requirements.
Transport timing depends on distance, permit processing, and route complexity. Local moves within the Burnt Hills area typically complete within one day, while longer distances may require 2-3 days depending on travel restrictions and route planning.
New York permits restrict travel to daylight hours (sunrise to sunset) Monday through Friday, with limited Saturday movement for smaller loads. This means longer moves may require overnight stops, which we coordinate in advance.
We provide realistic timelines during the estimate process and keep you informed of any changes. Weather conditions, road construction, or permit delays can affect timing, but we plan for contingencies and communicate any schedule adjustments immediately. Your project timeline is important to us, and we work to minimize any impact on your operations.
We handle equipment of all sizes, from compact excavators to large industrial machinery. New York allows permits for equipment exceeding standard dimensions, though extremely large loads may require special routing and additional approvals.
Equipment over 12 feet wide, 80 feet long, or 14 feet high requires escort vehicles and specific route planning. Loads over 200,000 pounds need police escorts, and some extremely large equipment may require disassembly for transport.
Our team evaluates each piece of equipment individually to determine the best transport method. We coordinate with state authorities for route approvals and handle all special requirements. If your equipment can legally move on New York roads, we can transport it safely and efficiently.
Yes, we maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for all heavy equipment transport operations. This includes liability protection and cargo coverage to protect your equipment during loading, transport, and unloading.
Our insurance meets all New York State requirements and provides coverage limits appropriate for high-value equipment. We provide proof of insurance documentation before transport begins, and our coverage protects both your equipment and any potential third-party claims.
Equipment transport involves inherent risks, which is why proper insurance coverage is essential. We don’t cut corners on coverage because we understand that your equipment represents a significant investment. If something unexpected happens, you’re protected by professional-grade insurance coverage, not just promises.
Yes, we provide heavy equipment transport year-round, including winter months. However, weather conditions can affect scheduling and may require additional safety precautions or route modifications.
Snow, ice, and extreme cold can impact transport safety and timing. We monitor weather forecasts closely and may recommend rescheduling during severe weather events. Winter transport often requires additional securing methods and may take longer due to reduced travel speeds.
We have experience with winter equipment moves throughout upstate New York and understand the challenges of cold-weather transport. Our equipment is maintained for year-round operation, and our operators are trained in winter driving techniques. While weather may affect timing, we work to accommodate your schedule while maintaining safety standards.
