Your excavator doesn’t care about excuses when it’s needed on Monday morning. Neither do you. That’s why our heavy equipment moving service eliminates the variables that turn simple equipment moves into project-killing disasters.
No more wondering if your machinery will arrive in working condition. No more scrambling to find backup equipment when transport delays derail your schedule. No more surprise fees that weren’t mentioned in the original quote.
You get equipment that arrives exactly when and where you need it, handled by professionals who understand that your machinery represents serious money and your reputation depends on keeping projects moving forward.
We’ve been handling heavy equipment moves in Crescent since before GPS was standard equipment. We’ve seen every type of machinery breakdown, weather delay, and routing challenge this region can throw at a transport operation.
Josh Emerson personally oversees operations because he knows that your equipment move isn’t just another job—it’s the difference between your project starting on schedule or sitting idle while you figure out Plan B. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in Saratoga County. We’re focused on being the most reliable.
Our team knows which back roads can handle a loaded lowboy in mud season, which bridges have weight restrictions that aren’t posted online, and how to navigate Crescent’s rural routes without getting stuck or causing delays.
First, we evaluate your equipment and destination to identify any potential complications before they become problems. Weight, dimensions, route restrictions, permit requirements—everything gets mapped out during the initial consultation so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our GPS guidance system tracks the entire route and ensures precise positioning throughout transport. You’re not relying on a driver’s best guess about where your equipment is or when it will arrive. Real-time tracking means real answers to your questions.
Loading, securing, and transport happen according to plan. Our operators handle the technical details while you focus on your project. Upon delivery, your equipment is positioned exactly where you need it, ready for immediate use without additional positioning or setup delays.

We move everything from compact excavators to 50-ton bulldozers throughout Crescent and beyond. Local moves, long-distance transport, running equipment, or machinery that needs winching—our fleet handles it all with the right trailer for each specific job.
Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage that actually covers your equipment’s value, not just basic liability. All permits and regulatory compliance are handled professionally, and loading/unloading services are included in your quoted price.
Crescent’s mix of residential construction, agricultural operations, and commercial development creates unique transport challenges. Narrow farm roads, seasonal mud conditions, and tight residential streets require local knowledge that out-of-area companies simply don’t possess. We navigate these conditions daily, ensuring your equipment reaches its destination regardless of local obstacles.
Heavy equipment moving costs in Crescent range from $3.50 to $8.00 per mile for most construction machinery, with local moves typically running higher per mile due to setup costs. A 20-mile local move might cost $400-600, while longer distances often provide better per-mile rates.
Your final cost depends on equipment size, weight, route complexity, and permit requirements. Oversized loads requiring escort vehicles or special routing will cost more, but we identify these requirements upfront so your budget stays intact.
We provide detailed, written estimates that include all costs—permits, insurance, loading, transport, and delivery. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no “additional costs” that weren’t discussed during the initial quote. What we quote is what you pay, period.
We transport all standard construction equipment including excavators up to 50 tons, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, wheel loaders, and specialized machinery like concrete pumps or cranes. Agricultural equipment is also common in our Crescent service area—tractors, combines, and implements.
Our trailer fleet includes flatbeds, lowboys, and specialized equipment haulers designed for different machinery types. Whether your equipment is 8 feet wide or requires oversize permits, we have the proper transport solution and experience to handle it safely.
Running or non-running equipment both get professional handling. Inoperable machinery requires specialized loading techniques and additional securing methods, which we handle routinely. The key is accurate information about your equipment’s condition so we bring the right tools and plan the appropriate loading strategy.
Local heavy equipment moves within Crescent and Saratoga County typically complete same-day, assuming no permit delays or weather complications. Most jobs within 50 miles are straightforward day trips that don’t require overnight scheduling.
Longer distances within New York state usually take 1-3 days depending on destination and route restrictions. Cross-country moves require 5-10 days, with time variations based on permits, routing requirements, and weather conditions during transport.
We build realistic schedules with contingency planning because equipment delays can derail entire project timelines. GPS tracking provides real-time location updates, and we maintain communication throughout transport so you can plan accordingly instead of wondering where your machinery is.
Our insurance coverage protects your equipment’s actual value during loading, transport, and delivery—not just basic liability that leaves you exposed. We carry both comprehensive cargo insurance and liability coverage that meets industry standards for high-value equipment transport.
Coverage includes damage from loading accidents, transport incidents, weather-related issues, and third-party complications. Equipment valued from $50,000 to $500,000+ receives appropriate coverage levels, and we provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins.
Pre-transport inspections document your equipment’s condition with photos and detailed condition reports. This protects both parties and ensures any transport-related damage is properly identified and covered through our insurance process without disputes or delays.
All permit applications and regulatory compliance are handled as part of our transport service. New York requires oversize permits for equipment exceeding standard dimensions and overweight permits for loads above legal limits—we manage both automatically.
Route surveys, bridge analysis, and coordination with state and local authorities happen before your equipment moves. This prevents delays, routing problems, and regulatory complications that can strand your machinery or result in expensive violations.
Special situations like extremely large equipment may require escort vehicles, restricted travel times, or specific routing. We coordinate these requirements in advance and include associated costs in your original quote so there are no surprises or additional charges during transport.
Non-running equipment is routine for our operation. Mechanical breakdowns, accident damage, or equipment that simply won’t start all get professional handling with specialized loading and securing techniques designed for inoperable machinery.
Our loading equipment includes hydraulic winches, rigging systems, and positioning tools that safely load equipment without further damage. Sometimes this requires removing attachments or using specific loading angles, which our operators handle based on each situation’s requirements.
The key is accurate information about your equipment’s condition and any specific damage or mechanical issues. This allows us to bring appropriate tools, plan the safest loading method, and ensure proper securing for transport without causing additional problems to already-compromised machinery.
