Your excavator shows up exactly where you need it, when you need it, without a scratch. No delays waiting for the right trailer. No damage from improper loading. No permit headaches slowing down your timeline.
That’s what happens when you work with people who understand equipment moving isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It’s about keeping your project moving forward without interruption.
You get equipment transport that actually supports your schedule instead of creating problems. Professional loading, secure transport, and on-time delivery that lets you focus on the work that matters.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving equipment throughout Day Center, NY and the surrounding area for years. We understand local road conditions, permit requirements, and the challenges that come with transporting heavy machinery in this area.
We’re not a national company trying to figure out your local roads. We know which routes work for oversized loads, which bridges have clearance issues, and how to navigate the permit process efficiently.
When you call us, you’re working with people who live and operate in this community. Your project’s success affects our reputation, which means we show up prepared and get the job done right.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer for the job. Lowboy for tall equipment, RGN for easy loading, or Landoll for specialized needs. We handle permit applications and route planning before your move date.
On transport day, we arrive with the proper equipment and experienced operators. Loading happens safely using proper tie-down points and securement methods. Your equipment gets positioned correctly for weight distribution and road safety.
During transport, we monitor the load and communicate any updates. Upon arrival, we unload carefully and position your equipment where you need it. The job isn’t complete until your equipment is ready for operation and the transport area is cleaned up.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and specialized construction machinery. We handle lowboy trailer transport for tall equipment, RGN hauling for easy loading access, and Landoll services for sliding axle requirements.
In Day Center, NY, construction projects face unique challenges with local terrain and seasonal weather conditions. Our transport solutions account for these factors, ensuring your equipment arrives ready to work regardless of conditions.
We provide door-to-door service with proper permits, route planning, and insurance coverage. Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites or transporting newly purchased machinery, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your project timeline.
We use specialized trailers matched to your specific equipment requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because the low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and overpasses.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are ideal when you need easy loading access since the front detaches to create a ramp. Landoll trailers with sliding axles handle equipment that needs precise positioning for weight distribution.
The choice depends on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements. We assess these factors during planning to ensure we bring the right trailer for safe, efficient transport.
We handle all permit applications and routing requirements for oversized loads in New York. This includes state permits, local municipality permits, and special routing permits when required.
Our experience with local regulations means we know which permits your specific equipment will need and how long the approval process takes. We factor permit timing into your transport schedule to avoid delays.
For equipment exceeding standard dimensions, we also coordinate escort vehicles and pilot cars when required. All permit documentation travels with the transport driver to ensure compliance throughout the journey.
Our service includes complete transport from pickup to delivery. We provide route planning, permit acquisition, proper trailer selection, and experienced drivers trained in heavy equipment transport.
Loading and unloading services use proper securement methods and equipment positioning for safe transport. We handle all tie-downs, weight distribution, and DOT compliance requirements.
Insurance coverage protects your equipment during transport, and we coordinate delivery timing with your project schedule. The service includes site cleanup after unloading so you’re ready for the next phase of work.
For standard equipment moves within New York, we typically need 3-5 days advance notice to secure permits and coordinate scheduling. Oversized loads requiring special permits may need 7-10 days depending on the route and equipment dimensions.
Emergency transport is available for urgent situations, though this may involve expedited permit fees and limited routing options. Planning ahead gives us time to secure the most efficient routes and competitive pricing.
During peak construction season (spring through fall), booking earlier ensures availability when you need it. We work with your project timeline to minimize any impact on your construction schedule.
All equipment gets secured using DOT-approved tie-down methods with proper working load limits for the equipment weight. We use chains and binders rather than straps for heavy machinery to ensure secure transport.
Our drivers are experienced in heavy equipment transport and understand proper loading procedures, weight distribution, and route safety requirements. All transport vehicles undergo regular safety inspections.
We conduct pre-transport inspections of both the equipment and trailer, documenting condition before loading. During transport, we monitor weather conditions and road situations, adjusting routes when necessary for safety.
Yes, we provide equipment transport throughout New York and surrounding states. Our service area covers the Capital Region, North Country, and extends into Vermont and Massachusetts when needed.
Long-distance transport requires additional permit coordination and route planning, especially for oversized loads crossing state lines. We handle all interstate permit requirements and coordinate with multiple state agencies.
Pricing for longer distances depends on equipment size, route requirements, and permit complexity. We provide detailed estimates that include all transport costs, permits, and any required escort services for transparency in your project budgeting.
