When your project timeline depends on getting heavy machinery to the jobsite, you need transport that doesn’t create new problems. Your excavators, bulldozers, and specialty equipment arrive in the same condition they left—no damage, no delays, no surprises that derail your schedule.
You get equipment that’s ready to start working the moment it hits the ground. No downtime waiting for repairs from transport damage. No scrambling to find replacement parts because something got loose during the move.
The difference is working with people who understand that your equipment represents serious money and tight deadlines. Every piece of machinery gets the attention it deserves, from proper securing techniques to route planning that avoids potential hazards.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Corinth, NY since 1997, transitioning from logging operations to become the area’s trusted heavy equipment specialists. We understand the local landscape—from navigating rural jobsites to handling the permit requirements specific to New York’s transportation regulations.
This isn’t a company that treats your equipment like just another load. Josh is present on jobs to ensure everything meets our standards, because we know that your machinery downtime costs you money.

Our process starts with understanding exactly what you’re moving and where it needs to go. We evaluate your equipment specifications, destination requirements, and timeline to determine the right approach for your specific situation.
Next comes the logistics planning—securing proper permits, determining the best route, and coordinating timing with your project schedule. This isn’t guesswork; it’s methodical preparation that prevents problems before they start.
On moving day, your equipment gets loaded using appropriate techniques for its size and weight. Professional securing methods ensure nothing shifts during transport. You get real-time updates so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
The job finishes with your machinery positioned where you need it, ready for immediate use. No cleanup of transport damage, no delays while you figure out what went wrong—just equipment ready to work.

Professional heavy equipment moving covers more than just loading and driving. You get proper permit acquisition for oversize loads, route planning that considers bridge weights and road restrictions, and coordination with local authorities when required.
Our service includes appropriate securing equipment—chains, binders, and blocking materials rated for your machinery’s specifications. Insurance coverage protects your investment throughout the transport process.
In Corinth’s rural setting, many jobsites present unique challenges. Soft ground conditions, narrow access roads, and seasonal restrictions all factor into transport planning. Local knowledge makes the difference between smooth delivery and costly problems.
Your equipment gets positioned exactly where you specify, whether that’s a prepared pad or temporary staging area. The goal is having your machinery ready to start working immediately, not spending time dealing with transport-related issues.
Heavy equipment transport permits depend on your machinery’s dimensions and weight. In New York, loads exceeding 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches high, or 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight require oversize permits from the state Department of Transportation.
The permit process involves route approval and timing restrictions—oversize loads can only move from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays. Some routes may require escort vehicles or have seasonal restrictions.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with authorities to ensure your transport meets regulatory requirements. This eliminates delays and prevents costly violations that could shut down your move.
Heavy equipment transport costs typically range from $3.50 to $8.00 per mile, depending on your machinery’s size, weight, and special handling requirements. Local moves within Corinth generally cost less than long-distance transport due to reduced fuel and time factors.
Additional costs may include permit fees, escort vehicles for oversize loads, and special equipment like lowboy trailers or cranes for loading. Complex moves requiring route surveys or infrastructure modifications will increase the total price.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. Most estimates can be provided within 2-3 days of your initial contact.
We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, compactors, generators, and specialized machinery. Our equipment can handle loads up to standard legal limits and arrange oversize transport for larger machinery.
Farm equipment transport is also available, including tractors, combines, and implements. This is particularly important in Corinth’s agricultural areas where seasonal equipment moves are common.
Each piece of machinery gets evaluated individually to determine the best transport method. Factors like ground clearance, track width, and attachment removal all influence the approach. We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions—your equipment gets the specific handling it requires.
Local heavy equipment moves within the Corinth area typically complete in one day, depending on loading complexity and destination accessibility. Longer distance transport usually takes 3-7 days, with oversize loads requiring additional time for permit processing and route coordination.
Weather conditions can affect timing, particularly during winter months when road restrictions may apply. We build realistic timelines that account for potential delays and keep you informed of any schedule changes.
Rush transport is available for urgent situations, though this may involve premium pricing and require special coordination with authorities. Most moves can be scheduled within a week of permit approval, assuming normal weather and road conditions.
Yes, all heavy equipment transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your machinery throughout the moving process. This covers damage from accidents, weather, theft, and other covered perils during loading, transport, and unloading.
Insurance limits vary based on your equipment’s value, and additional coverage can be arranged for high-value machinery. We provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins, so you have written proof of protection.
Claims processing is handled directly with our insurance carrier to expedite resolution if issues arise. However, our careful handling procedures and experienced operators minimize the likelihood of damage occurring in the first place.
Remote jobsite access is a specialty, particularly important in Corinth’s rural areas where many construction and logging operations occur. We evaluate access roads, ground conditions, and seasonal restrictions to determine the best delivery approach.
Soft ground conditions may require special equipment like all-terrain trailers or crane assistance for unloading. Winter access can be challenging, but our local experience helps navigate seasonal limitations that outside companies might not anticipate.
Site preparation requirements get discussed upfront—sometimes basic improvements to access roads or unloading areas are necessary for safe delivery. We coordinate with you to ensure your jobsite is ready when equipment arrives, preventing delays and additional costs.
