When your equipment arrives, it’s ready to get back to work immediately. No damage from improper loading. No delays because someone didn’t understand permit requirements. No surprises about what it actually takes to move heavy machinery safely through New York’s roads and regulations.
You get equipment that’s been handled by people who understand the difference between a lowboy and a step deck, and when each one matters. Your timeline stays on track because we plan routes that work around traffic patterns, construction zones, and bridge restrictions that can shut down inexperienced haulers.
Most importantly, you’re dealing with a local company that understands Day’s terrain and New York’s DOT requirements. We’ve been moving equipment in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling equipment moves throughout Day and the surrounding area since our transition to full-time excavation in 2020. We understand local road conditions, permit requirements, and what it takes to get heavy equipment where it needs to go without complications.
Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality work and direct communication. We’re not a large operation where you get passed between different people who don’t know your project. You work directly with people who live and work in this community and understand the local challenges.
We’ve built our reputation on doing the work that prevents problems down the road. When equipment needs to move, it needs to move right the first time.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer for the job. Not everything needs a lowboy – sometimes a step deck or RGN trailer is the better choice. We look at dimensions, weight, loading requirements, and destination access to pick the equipment that makes sense.
Next, we handle permits and route planning. New York has specific regulations for oversized loads, and we know which routes work for different types of equipment. We coordinate with local authorities when escorts are required and plan timing around traffic restrictions.
Loading happens with the right equipment for your specific machinery. Ground loading with an RGN trailer for equipment that can’t use ramps. Hydraulic systems for precise positioning. Proper securement that protects your equipment during transport.
During transport, we maintain communication about progress and handle any route adjustments needed for road conditions or unexpected restrictions. Your equipment gets delivered ready to work, not needing repairs from transport damage.

You get the right trailer for your specific equipment. Lowboy trailers for tall machinery that needs low ground clearance. RGN trailers with removable goosenecks for ground loading heavy equipment that can’t use ramps. Sliding axle configurations for weight distribution on heavier loads.
All necessary permits are handled as part of the service. New York requires specific documentation for oversized loads, and we know the requirements for Day and surrounding areas. Route surveys when needed for particularly large or heavy equipment.
In Day’s terrain, proper equipment selection matters. Rocky conditions, seasonal weather constraints, and local road limitations all factor into how equipment gets moved successfully. We’ve been working in this area long enough to know which approaches work and which ones create problems.
Professional securement and loading techniques protect your equipment during transport. Insurance coverage provides additional protection. Direct communication throughout the process means you know what’s happening with your equipment.
We use lowboy trailers for tall equipment that needs low ground clearance, typically for machinery that exceeds standard height limits on regular flatbeds. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers work best for equipment that needs ground loading – bulldozers, excavators, and other machinery that can’t use ramps safely.
Step deck trailers handle mid-height equipment that doesn’t require the extreme low profile of a lowboy. Sliding axle configurations help distribute weight properly for heavier loads. The choice depends on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements.
We assess each piece of equipment individually rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Proper trailer selection prevents damage during loading and transport while ensuring compliance with New York DOT regulations.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for oversized loads in New York. The state requires specific documentation for equipment that exceeds standard dimensions, and permit requirements vary based on size, weight, and route.
We know Day’s local requirements and work with New York DOT to secure proper permits before transport begins. This includes route approvals, timing restrictions, and escort requirements when needed for particularly large loads.
Permit processing takes time, so we start this process early to prevent delays. We also coordinate with local authorities when escorts are required and plan timing around traffic restrictions that apply to oversized loads in this area.
Professional securement starts with proper loading techniques and the right equipment for each job. We use appropriate tie-down points, padding where needed, and securement methods specific to each type of machinery.
Insurance coverage provides additional protection against damage during transport. Our equipment is maintained to handle the loads we carry, and our operators understand how different types of machinery need to be handled during loading and transport.
Route planning avoids roads and conditions that could cause problems for your specific equipment. We plan around construction zones, bridge restrictions, and road conditions that could affect transport safety. Direct communication during transport means you know what’s happening with your equipment.
Timeline depends on equipment size, permit requirements, and destination. Local moves within Day and surrounding areas typically happen within a few days of scheduling for standard-sized equipment.
Oversized loads require permit processing time, which can take several days to a week depending on route complexity and New York DOT review requirements. We give you realistic timelines upfront based on your specific equipment and destination.
Weather affects timing, especially during spring mud season or winter conditions. We coordinate with your schedule to minimize project delays and communicate any adjustments needed due to road conditions or permit processing delays.
Yes, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers specifically for ground loading equipment that can’t use ramps safely. The detachable front section allows equipment to drive or be pushed directly onto the trailer at ground level.
This works well for tracked equipment like bulldozers and excavators, as well as machinery with low ground clearance that would be damaged by steep ramp angles. Hydraulic systems provide precise positioning during loading and unloading.
Ground loading requires adequate space at both pickup and delivery locations for the trailer to maneuver. We assess site conditions during planning to ensure proper access and positioning for safe loading operations.
Yes, we handle equipment transport to and from construction sites throughout Day and the surrounding area. This includes moving machinery between job sites, delivering equipment from dealers, and transporting equipment for maintenance or storage.
Construction site access requires planning around site conditions, existing equipment, and project timelines. We coordinate with site managers to schedule deliveries that don’t interfere with ongoing work and ensure proper access for our transport equipment.
Local knowledge of Day’s terrain and road conditions helps us plan routes that work for different types of construction sites. We understand seasonal access limitations and coordinate timing around weather conditions that affect site access.
