Our heavy equipment moving service includes professional assessment, permit acquisition, route planning, and specialized transport equipment. You get experienced operators who understand how to handle machinery safely and efficiently.
In Coila’s terrain, equipment moves require local knowledge of soil conditions, seasonal access limitations, and the best routes for oversized loads. We’ve handled moves through the area’s varied topography and understand which routes work best for different types of equipment.
The service also includes proper insurance coverage, emergency response capability, and coordination with your project timeline. Whether you’re moving construction equipment to a new job site or relocating manufacturing machinery, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your core business operations.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors: equipment size and weight, transport distance, route complexity, and permit requirements. In the Capital Region, permits typically run $6-8 per mile for standard oversized loads.
Local moves within Coila and surrounding areas cost less than long-distance transport due to reduced permit fees and travel time. However, terrain challenges or difficult access can affect pricing regardless of distance.
We provide upfront estimates that include all costs – transport, permits, escorts if needed, and any special handling requirements. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before work begins, with no surprise fees added later.
We move construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and loaders, as well as agricultural machinery, manufacturing equipment, and specialized industrial machinery. Our equipment can handle loads up to 100+ tons depending on the specific requirements.
Each type of equipment has different transport considerations. Construction machinery often requires specific tie-down points and weight distribution. Manufacturing equipment may need climate-controlled transport or vibration protection.
We assess each piece individually to determine the best transport method. Some equipment can be moved on standard flatbed trailers, while others require specialized lowboy or RGN trailers. Our fleet includes various trailer types to match your specific equipment needs.
Local heavy equipment moves within Coila and the immediate area typically take 1-2 days from pickup to delivery. This includes permit processing time, route preparation, and the actual transport.
Longer distances or complex routes may extend the timeline. Equipment requiring special permits or escort vehicles can add 1-2 additional days for coordination with authorities.
Weather conditions in upstate New York can affect transport schedules, especially during winter months. We build realistic timelines that account for seasonal challenges and communicate any delays immediately so your project planning stays accurate.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for heavy equipment transport in New York State. This includes oversize permits, overweight permits, and coordination with local authorities for route approval.
The permit process varies based on equipment dimensions and transport route. Some moves require simple oversize permits, while others need complex routing agreements with multiple jurisdictions.
We maintain current knowledge of New York DOT requirements and have established relationships with permitting offices throughout the region. This experience speeds up the permit process and helps avoid delays that can occur when permits are handled incorrectly.
Safety starts with proper equipment assessment and load planning. We calculate weight distribution, secure tie-down points, and select appropriate trailers for each specific piece of equipment.

We also carry comprehensive insurance coverage and maintain emergency response capabilities. If unexpected situations arise during transport, we have the resources and experience to handle them safely without compromising your equipment or public safety.
Yes, we regularly handle equipment moves to challenging locations including tight job sites, residential areas, and locations with limited access. Our experience in the Coila area includes navigating narrow roads, steep terrain, and seasonal access limitations.
We conduct site visits before transport to identify potential access challenges and plan accordingly. This might involve using smaller trailers, alternative routes, or coordinating with utility companies to temporarily move overhead lines.
For extremely tight locations, we can arrange for equipment disassembly and reassembly, or use specialized rigging techniques to position machinery precisely where needed. The key is thorough planning that identifies challenges before they become problems during the actual move.
