Your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized machinery represents a significant investment. When it needs to move, you want professionals who understand that one mistake can cost thousands in repairs and project delays.
Our lowboy trailer transport services handle everything from compact equipment to oversized loads. We secure your machinery according to DOT standards, handle all permit requirements, and plan routes that accommodate your equipment’s dimensions safely.

Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Washington County since 1997, with deep knowledge of local terrain and regulations that prevent costly surprises during transport. We understand how Adirondack region conditions affect equipment movement.
As a family business, we’re invested in this community. Our reputation was built one successful move at a time throughout Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. When you call us, you’re working directly with people who live here and understand what local contractors face.
We saw too many property owners dealing with damaged equipment from contractors who cut corners. That’s why we built our operations around one principle: your equipment deserves professionals who finish what we start.
First, we assess your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and destination to determine the right trailer and route. Our team handles all permit applications and identifies any special requirements for oversized loads.
On moving day, we arrive with the appropriate lowboy trailer and securing equipment. Your machinery gets loaded using proper techniques and secured according to DOT standards. We document the equipment’s condition before transport begins.
During transport, our experienced drivers follow planned routes and maintain communication about progress. Upon arrival, we carefully unload your equipment and verify its condition matches our initial documentation. You sign off knowing your equipment arrived safely and your project can continue on schedule.

Our equipment moving services cover excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, and specialized construction tools. We handle both local moves within Washington County and long-distance transport across New York State.
Each move includes professional loading and unloading assistance, proper securing with chains and straps, and route planning that considers bridge clearances and weight restrictions. For oversized loads, we coordinate pilot cars and obtain all necessary permits.
Washington County’s terrain presents unique challenges that inexperienced haulers often underestimate. Our drivers know which routes work best for different equipment types and how to navigate the region’s hills, narrow roads, and seasonal conditions. This local knowledge prevents delays and ensures your equipment reaches its destination without complications.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, loaders, and other heavy construction equipment on our lowboy trailers. Our fleet can handle equipment weighing up to 80,000 pounds total combined weight, depending on axle configuration.
For tall equipment that exceeds standard height restrictions, lowboy trailers provide the low deck clearance needed to travel under bridges and through areas with overhead obstacles. We also handle specialized equipment like cranes, pavers, and agricultural machinery.
Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually to determine the best trailer type and securing method. Our goal is safe transport that protects your investment and keeps your project on schedule.
We handle all permit applications and regulatory compliance for oversized loads as part of our service. This includes obtaining oversize permits from New York State Department of Transportation and coordinating with local authorities when required.
Our team knows the specific requirements for different equipment dimensions and routes. We calculate total transport dimensions including trailer height and plan routes that comply with bridge clearances and weight restrictions throughout the region.
For complex moves requiring pilot cars or special timing restrictions, we coordinate these services and factor the costs into your upfront quote. You don’t need to worry about navigating permit requirements – we handle the paperwork so you can focus on your project.
Our equipment moving quotes include the lowboy trailer, professional loading and unloading, DOT-compliant securing, basic permits for standard moves, and experienced drivers. You get a clear, upfront price with no hidden fees.
For oversized loads requiring special permits or pilot cars, these costs are itemized separately in your quote so you know exactly what you’re paying. We also include route planning and coordination with your schedule to minimize project disruption.
Additional services like crane assistance for loading, extended waiting time, or storage can be arranged if needed. The key is transparent pricing – you know your total cost before we begin, and that’s what you pay.
For standard equipment moves within the region, we typically need 3-5 business days notice to ensure trailer availability and handle any permit requirements. This gives us time to plan the optimal route and coordinate with your project schedule.
Oversized loads requiring special permits may need 1-2 weeks advance notice, depending on the specific dimensions and route complexity. Some permits take longer to process, and we want to avoid delays that could impact your timeline.
During busy construction seasons, scheduling further in advance helps guarantee availability when you need it. We recommend calling as soon as you know your equipment needs to move, even if the exact date isn’t finalized yet.

Pricing for longer moves depends on distance, equipment size, and any special requirements. We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs so you can make informed decisions about your equipment transport needs.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage for equipment transport and document your machinery’s condition before loading. Our drivers are trained in proper securing techniques and follow DOT standards to prevent damage during transport.
In the unlikely event of damage, we have established procedures for immediate documentation and insurance claim processing. Our goal is prevention through proper handling, but we’re fully prepared to address any issues quickly and fairly.
