Our machinery transport services cover excavators, bulldozers, cranes, compactors, and specialized construction equipment. We handle everything from small skid steers to large industrial machinery.
In Cleverdale’s construction market, timing matters. Projects have tight schedules, and equipment delays can cascade into costly problems. Our local knowledge of the area means we know the best routes, understand seasonal challenges, and can work around local traffic patterns.
We also coordinate with crane services when needed for loading and unloading. Some moves require additional equipment or specialized rigging, and we have the connections to make it happen seamlessly. One call handles your entire machinery moving needs.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors: the size and weight of your machinery, transport distance, route complexity, and any special requirements like permits or escort vehicles. Most moves in New York range between $2.25-$3.55 per mile, but local moves often have minimum charges.
For accurate pricing, we need to know your equipment specifications and destination. We provide free estimates that include all costs upfront – no hidden fees for permits, fuel surcharges, or “unexpected” complications. Call us with your machinery details and we’ll give you a clear, honest quote.
New York requires oversize/overweight permits for loads exceeding standard legal limits: 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, 53 feet long, or 80,000 pounds gross weight. Most construction equipment exceeds at least one of these limits.
We handle all permit applications and routing approvals. This includes coordinating with local authorities for escort vehicles when required and ensuring compliance with restricted travel times. Some routes prohibit oversized loads during rush hours or weekends, and we plan accordingly. You don’t need to worry about regulations – that’s our responsibility.
Local heavy equipment moves in the Cleverdale area typically take 1-3 days from scheduling to completion. This includes permit processing time, route planning, and the actual transport.
The timeline depends on your equipment size and destination. Standard-sized machinery on established routes can often be moved within 24-48 hours of confirmation. Oversized loads requiring special permits may need 3-5 business days for proper authorization. We always provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance including cargo coverage, general liability, and commercial auto insurance. Our cargo coverage protects your equipment’s full replacement value during transport, loading, and unloading.
Before any move, we verify your equipment’s value and ensure adequate coverage. You’ll receive a certificate of insurance showing our coverage limits and your equipment specifically listed as covered cargo. This gives you complete protection and peace of mind throughout the entire moving process.
Yes, we regularly move equipment to challenging locations including tight construction sites, basement installations, and remote job sites. Our experience in excavation work means we understand site access limitations and can plan accordingly.
We survey access routes beforehand, coordinate with site managers for optimal timing, and bring appropriate equipment for the conditions. Sometimes this means using smaller transport vehicles, coordinating crane services, or scheduling moves during specific weather windows. Our local knowledge of Cleverdale area sites helps us anticipate and solve access challenges before they become problems.
We offer priority scheduling for urgent machinery moves, though true emergency service depends on equipment availability and permit requirements. If your project timeline is critical, call us immediately to discuss options.
For breakdown situations where equipment needs immediate removal from a job site, we can often respond within hours for standard-sized machinery. Oversized equipment requiring permits takes longer, but we expedite the paperwork and coordinate with authorities for fastest possible approval. Emergency moves typically carry premium pricing due to the urgent coordination required.
