Moving heavy equipment isn’t just hauling machinery from one spot to another. It’s about protecting your investment while keeping your construction timeline intact.
You get equipment that arrives in perfect condition, delivered exactly when promised. No permit delays that stall your project. No damage from amateur handling. No surprise fees that blow your budget.
Our machinery transport services handle everything from compact excavators to full-size bulldozers throughout Charlton, NY. We secure proper permits, navigate weight restrictions, and use DOT-approved tie-down techniques that actually protect your equipment.
We’ve been serving Charlton and the tri-county area since 2020. We know this region’s unique challenges – from spring weight restrictions to rural access roads that GPS doesn’t understand.
Our drivers know every back road, seasonal limitation, and permit requirement across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. We’re not learning your area on your dime.
We own our transport equipment instead of renting it. That means faster response times when you need machinery moved and better control over your project schedule. When other companies are waiting on rental availability, we’re loading your equipment.
Every equipment move starts with understanding what you need moved and where it’s going. We evaluate machinery dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements during our initial assessment.
Route planning comes next, including permit requirements and weight restriction checks. We handle oversized load permits, coordinate with local authorities, and plan around seasonal restrictions that affect transport in our area.
Loading happens with proper equipment and experienced operators. We use DOT-approved securing techniques and double-check everything before transport begins. During the move, we maintain communication about timing and delivery.
Your equipment gets delivered to the specified location with documentation and confirmation. No guesswork, no amateur hour – just professional machinery transport that protects your investment.

Our heavy equipment moving services cover compact skid steers to large excavators and bulldozers. We handle local Charlton moves and longer-distance transport throughout New York State.
Charlton’s rural location creates unique challenges that out-of-area companies don’t understand. Spring mud season affects access roads. Winter conditions change transport timing. We plan for these realities instead of learning about them during your move.
Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage from pickup to delivery. Our drivers maintain clean commercial licenses with years of experience handling valuable construction machinery. We coordinate with job sites to ensure proper access without creating safety hazards.
All permit requirements get handled as part of our service. We know which moves need special documentation and factor permit processing time into your schedule.
Local heavy equipment moving in Charlton typically runs $150-$175 per hour, depending on your machinery’s size and complexity. For longer distances, we charge approximately $3 per loaded mile within 150 miles.
Equipment weight, transport distance, and permit requirements affect final pricing. Larger machinery like excavators requires specialized trailers and may need oversized load permits, which we handle as part of the service.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. During our assessment, we explain all costs including permits and any special requirements so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s size and weight. Standard machinery under legal limits typically doesn’t need special permits, but oversized or overweight equipment requires proper documentation.
We handle the entire permit process – applications, coordination with authorities, and ensuring compliance with state and local regulations. New York has specific requirements for equipment transport, especially regarding bridge weights and seasonal restrictions.
Permit processing is factored into your timeline. We know which situations need special handling and get the paperwork started early to avoid project delays.
All equipment gets secured using DOT-approved techniques with chains and straps rated for your machinery’s weight. We inspect every load twice before transport and use additional blocking when necessary for stability.
Load positioning prevents shifting during transport, especially important on rural roads with varying conditions. Our drivers understand proper weight distribution and balance requirements for safe transport.
We coordinate equipment preparation beforehand – ensuring hydraulics work for loading, securing loose parts, and positioning machinery for optimal transport. This preparation prevents delays and ensures safe handling.
Absolutely. We regularly deliver equipment to remote construction sites throughout Charlton and surrounding areas. Our drivers know local back roads and understand rural property access challenges.
We coordinate with job sites ahead of delivery to ensure proper access for transport vehicles. This includes checking road conditions, verifying maneuvering space, and identifying potential obstacles that might affect delivery.
Remote deliveries require additional planning, especially during mud season or winter conditions. We factor these considerations into scheduling and communicate timing adjustments well in advance.
We transport everything from compact skid steers and mini excavators up to large bulldozers, excavators, and specialized construction machinery. Our trailer fleet handles various weight classes and dimensions.
For standard equipment under 80,000 pounds gross weight, we use flatbed or lowboy trailers depending on height requirements. Larger machinery may require specialized trailers or partial disassembly for legal transport.
Each piece gets evaluated individually during our assessment. We measure dimensions, check weight specifications, and determine the most appropriate transport method for safe, legal delivery.
Local Charlton moves typically need 2-3 days notice for scheduling and permit coordination. Longer distances or oversized loads may require additional lead time for proper planning.
Permit processing takes several days, especially for oversized loads requiring special routing. We factor processing time into your schedule and provide realistic timelines upfront.
Emergency moves are possible when equipment is available, though pricing may be affected. For planned project moves, earlier scheduling ensures availability and allows proper coordination with your construction timeline.
