When your project depends on getting heavy equipment where it needs to be, transport can’t be an afterthought. Our specialized lowboy and RGN trailers handle everything from excavators to scissor lifts, with proper permits and routing that avoid the delays that kill construction schedules.
You get equipment that arrives undamaged and ready to work. No surprise costs eating into your budget. No permit hassles holding up your timeline. No wondering if your machinery will actually show up when promised.
The difference shows up in projects that stay on schedule and budgets that don’t get blown by transport problems.
We’ve been moving equipment through the Adirondack region since 1997. We understand the seasonal weight restrictions on local roads, know which routes work for oversized loads, and have the relationships to get permits processed efficiently.
Our family-owned operation means Josh is personally involved in every transport. We’re not a faceless trucking company that disappears after delivery. We’re your neighbors, invested in this community and accountable for every piece of equipment we move.
When you need equipment moved in Conklingville, you’re working with people who’ve navigated these mountain roads for decades and built our reputation on getting valuable machinery where it needs to be safely.
First, we assess your equipment and route requirements. What type of trailer works best? Are there height restrictions or weight limits on your preferred route? Do we need special permits? We figure this out upfront so there are no surprises on moving day.
Next, we handle permits and regulatory requirements. Oversized loads require specific documentation and routing approvals. We take care of the paperwork and coordinate with authorities so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy or worry about compliance issues.
Finally, we execute the transport with the right equipment and experienced operators. Your machinery gets loaded using proper techniques, secured according to DOT standards, and delivered on schedule. We coordinate with your team to ensure smooth operations at both pickup and delivery locations.

Our equipment moving service includes lowboy trailer transport for standard construction equipment, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers for easy loading, and hydraulic tilt trailers for specialized machinery. We handle construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment up to 80,000 pounds.
In the Conklingville area, we regularly transport equipment for new home construction projects, commercial development, and seasonal moves between job sites. The region’s mix of lakefront properties and mountain terrain creates unique challenges – from narrow access roads to seasonal weight restrictions that affect routing options.
Our service includes route planning to avoid problematic bridges and weight restrictions, coordination with utility companies for wire lifting when needed, and timing that works with your construction schedule. We also provide emergency equipment moving when breakdowns or urgent project needs require immediate transport response.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, scissor lifts, forklifts, agricultural equipment, and most construction machinery. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 80,000 pounds total weight and accommodate heights up to 12 feet – perfect for most construction and agricultural equipment.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment. Standard lowboy trailers work great for most construction equipment that can drive up ramps. RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers are better for equipment with very low ground clearance or that’s difficult to load conventionally.
If your equipment has special attachments or unusual dimensions, we plan accordingly. Sometimes that means temporarily removing certain components for transport, other times it means using specialized securing equipment or choosing specific routes that accommodate the load dimensions.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with state and local authorities for oversized loads. This includes route permits, timing restrictions, and escort vehicle requirements when loads exceed standard width, height, or weight limits.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days for standard oversized loads, though emergency permits can sometimes be expedited for urgent situations. We factor permit timing into your transport schedule so there are no project delays. Part of our expertise is knowing which routes are pre-approved for oversized loads and which have restrictions.
We also coordinate with utility companies when equipment height requires temporary wire lifting, and with local authorities when transport might affect traffic flow. This advance planning prevents the delays and complications that happen when permits aren’t handled properly by experienced operators.
Lowboy trailers have a fixed low deck that’s ideal for tall equipment needing maximum height clearance. Equipment loads using ramps, which works well for most construction machinery that can drive under its own power and navigate moderate loading angles.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that allows the trailer deck to sit directly on the ground for loading. This creates a much more gradual loading angle, making it easier to load equipment with very low ground clearance or that can’t easily navigate ramps.
We choose trailer type based on your specific equipment and loading situation. Equipment with tracks, extremely low clearance, or that struggles with ramp angles typically goes on RGN trailers. Standard wheeled construction equipment usually loads fine on lowboy trailers with proper ramp techniques.
For standard equipment moves, we typically need 3-5 days advance notice to ensure proper scheduling and permit processing. Emergency moves can sometimes be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, depending on equipment availability and permit requirements.
Oversized loads requiring special permits need more lead time – usually 5-7 days minimum to allow for permit processing and route coordination. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging routes may require additional planning time to ensure everything goes smoothly.
During busy construction seasons (spring through fall), earlier scheduling helps ensure availability when you need it. We work with your timeline and project requirements, but advance notice prevents last-minute complications that can delay your construction schedule.
Every piece of equipment gets secured using proper tie-down points and chains rated for the load weight. We inspect all securing hardware before transport and follow strict DOT regulations for load securement. Our operators are specifically trained in proper loading and securing techniques for different equipment types.
We conduct comprehensive pre-trip inspections of both the transport vehicle and trailer, checking brakes, lights, hydraulic systems, and all safety equipment. During transport, we monitor load security and make adjustments if conditions require it. Our drivers understand oversized load handling characteristics and adjust their driving accordingly.
Comprehensive insurance coverage protects your equipment throughout the entire transport process. We carry full cargo insurance and maintain all required commercial vehicle coverage. This gives you complete peace of mind knowing your valuable equipment investment is protected from pickup to final delivery.
We provide year-round equipment moving services, though winter conditions require additional safety considerations and planning. Snow, ice, and temperature affect both loading conditions and transport routes, so we adjust our approach to maintain safety standards.
Winter equipment moves often require more time for loading and securing due to weather conditions. We may need to clear snow from loading areas, use additional securing methods for challenging conditions, or modify routes to avoid problematic areas. Our operators understand how loaded trailers handle in winter conditions.
Emergency equipment moves during winter storms are evaluated individually based on urgency and safety factors. Critical equipment needed for snow removal or emergency repairs gets priority consideration, while routine moves may be rescheduled when conditions improve. We always prioritize safe transport over speed, but understand some situations require immediate response.
