Professional lowboy and specialized trailer transport that gets your valuable machinery where it needs to be, safely and on schedule.

Lowboy Trailer Transport Coila

Equipment That Arrives Ready to Work

When your project timeline depends on equipment arriving intact and on schedule, you need more than just a truck with a trailer. You need specialists who understand that your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized machinery represents a significant investment that can’t afford damage or delays.

Our lowboy and RGN trailer services ensure your equipment travels at the optimal height and weight distribution for safe transport. No more worrying about bridge clearances, permit complications, or equipment damage from improper loading techniques.

Your equipment arrives ready to work, not ready for repairs. That’s the difference between moving equipment and moving it right.

Specialized Equipment Transport Services

Equipment We Move Safely

Our fleet handles everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers, cranes, and specialized construction machinery. We’re equipped for standard lowboy transport, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) loading for drive-on equipment, and Landoll trailers for machinery that requires hydraulic tilt capabilities.

In the Coila area, we regularly transport equipment for new home construction sites, commercial developments, and infrastructure projects. Our experience with local soil conditions and typical project requirements means we understand which equipment configurations work best for different job sites.

Whether you’re moving a single piece of equipment across town or coordinating multiple machinery deliveries for a large project, we have the trailer capacity and local knowledge to handle your specific requirements efficiently and safely.

What types of trailers do you use for heavy equipment transport?

We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment specifications. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment that needs maximum height clearance, with deck heights typically 18-24 inches off the ground. These are ideal for excavators, bulldozers, and cranes that would otherwise exceed road height limits on standard trailers.

RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers feature a detachable front section that creates a ramp for drive-on loading. This works perfectly for self-propelled equipment like wheel loaders and articulated trucks. Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt capabilities for equipment that can’t easily drive onto other trailer types.

We select the appropriate trailer based on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements to ensure safe, compliant transport.

Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight, plus the specific route we’ll be traveling. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance with state and local regulations.

For loads exceeding standard legal limits—typically over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 80,000 pounds gross weight—we obtain oversize/overweight permits. This includes route surveys to identify any restrictions like low bridges or weight-limited roads that might require alternate routing.

We also coordinate escort vehicles when required and ensure all transport occurs during permitted hours. Our experience with New York State DOT requirements and local municipal regulations means your equipment moves legally and safely without delays.

Our service includes complete transport coordination from pickup to delivery. This starts with equipment assessment and trailer selection, followed by route planning and permit acquisition when necessary. We provide all rigging and tie-down equipment needed to secure your machinery properly.

Loading and unloading are handled by our experienced operators using proper techniques that protect your equipment. We coordinate delivery timing with your schedule and provide updates throughout transport so you know exactly when to expect arrival.

Insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the move, and we work directly with your site supervisors to ensure delivery meets your specific requirements. You get one point of contact managing every aspect of the transport.

For standard equipment moves within the local area, we can typically accommodate requests with 2-3 days notice. However, oversize loads requiring special permits may need 5-7 days advance scheduling to allow time for permit processing and route coordination.

During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling 1-2 weeks ahead ensures availability when you need it. Emergency moves can sometimes be accommodated with shorter notice, though this may involve premium pricing for expedited permit processing.

The key factors affecting scheduling are equipment size, distance, permit requirements, and seasonal demand. We recommend calling as soon as you know your equipment needs to be moved to secure your preferred timing and avoid project delays.

Yes, we handle both local moves within the Saratoga, Warren, and Washington County areas as well as longer-distance transport throughout New York State and neighboring regions. Local moves typically involve job site to job site transport or delivery from equipment dealers to your project location.

Long-distance moves require additional planning for route optimization, overnight parking when necessary, and coordination with multiple jurisdictions for permit compliance. We have established relationships with fuel stops and secure parking facilities along major transport corridors.

Our pricing reflects the complexity and distance involved, with local moves typically more cost-effective per mile than long-distance transport due to permit and coordination requirements. We provide transparent quotes that include all costs upfront so you can budget accurately.

Safety starts with proper equipment assessment and trailer selection to ensure your machinery is transported using the most appropriate method. We use professional-grade rigging equipment including chains, binders, and specialized tie-down points designed for heavy equipment transport.

Our operators are trained in proper loading techniques that distribute weight correctly and secure equipment to prevent shifting during transport. We conduct pre-transport inspections of both the equipment and trailer to identify any potential issues before departure.

During transport, we maintain appropriate speeds for the load configuration and monitor weather conditions that might affect safe operation. All our equipment transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage, and we maintain detailed documentation of loading procedures and transport conditions for your records.
