When your expensive machinery needs to move, you can’t afford amateur handling or surprise delays. Professional equipment moving means your excavators, bulldozers, and construction machinery arrive exactly as they left—ready to work.
You get transparent pricing before work begins, proper permits handled professionally, and equipment moved by people who understand what a damaged machine costs your timeline. No guesswork about regulations, no scrambling for last-minute permits, no wondering if your equipment will arrive intact.
Your project stays on schedule because the equipment transport is handled right from day one. That’s what happens when you work with contractors who’ve been moving heavy machinery in Diamond Point for years.
We’ve been serving Diamond Point and the surrounding Adirondack region since transitioning to full-time excavation work in 2020. What started as a logging operation in 1997 evolved into comprehensive excavation and equipment services when we recognized the growing need for reliable contractors in our area.
We’re a family business where Josh, the owner, is present on almost every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we ensure quality control and maintain the relationships that keep customers coming back. When you’re moving expensive equipment, you want people who understand what’s at stake.
Diamond Point’s terrain and local regulations don’t surprise us. We’ve handled equipment moves throughout Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties long enough to know what works and what causes problems.
Every equipment move starts with understanding exactly what you need moved, where it’s going, and what challenges your specific job might present. We evaluate the equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements before providing a clear estimate.
Once you approve the plan, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate with local authorities when required. Our equipment and operators arrive on schedule with the right tools for your specific machinery—whether that’s specialized trailers, rigging equipment, or additional support vehicles.
During transport, we maintain communication about progress and handle any unexpected situations that arise. Professional equipment moving means having contingency plans and the experience to adapt when conditions change.
After delivery, we ensure your equipment is positioned correctly and ready for operation. The job isn’t complete until your machinery is exactly where you need it, undamaged and ready to work.

Our heavy equipment moving service covers everything from small utility vehicles to large excavators and bulldozers. We handle the specialized trailers, rigging equipment, and permits required for safe transport throughout Diamond Point and the greater Capital Region.
Diamond Point’s location in the Adirondack foothills presents unique challenges that many equipment movers don’t understand. Seasonal road restrictions, weight limits on certain routes, and terrain considerations all factor into proper equipment transport planning. We know which roads handle heavy loads year-round and which routes to avoid during different seasons.
The service includes route planning to avoid low bridges and weight-restricted areas, coordination with utility companies when overhead clearances are tight, and proper securing techniques that protect your equipment during transport. We also provide temporary storage solutions when timing between pickup and delivery doesn’t align perfectly with your project schedule.
New York requires oversize permits for equipment exceeding standard dimensions—8 feet 6 inches wide, specific length limits, and 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Most excavators and bulldozers exceed these limits and need proper permits.
We handle the permit application process and understand which routes allow oversized loads in the Diamond Point area. Some local roads have seasonal restrictions, especially during spring thaw periods when weight limits are reduced to protect road surfaces.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days, so advance planning is important for time-sensitive moves. We coordinate with state and local authorities to ensure all documentation is correct before your equipment transport begins.
Local heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors: equipment size and weight, distance traveled, special handling requirements, and current permit fees. Most local moves within 15-20 miles range from $800 to $2,500 for standard construction equipment.
Factors that increase costs include oversize permits, escort vehicle requirements, and special rigging for unusually shaped equipment. Weather conditions can also affect pricing—moves during winter or wet conditions require additional safety measures.
We provide transparent estimates that include all anticipated costs upfront. No surprise fees for permits, escort vehicles, or standard rigging equipment. You’ll know exactly what the move costs before we start loading your equipment.
Yes, but winter equipment transport requires additional planning and safety measures. Snow, ice, and reduced daylight hours affect transport scheduling and route selection. We monitor weather conditions closely and adjust plans when necessary for safe transport.
Winter moves often take longer due to reduced travel speeds and additional securing requirements. Some routes that are acceptable during summer months become problematic in winter due to steep grades or inadequate snow removal on secondary roads.
We maintain winter-ready equipment including specialized tie-down systems and traction aids. However, we won’t compromise safety for schedule—if conditions are unsafe, we’ll reschedule your equipment move rather than risk damage or accidents.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance including cargo coverage that protects your equipment during transport. Our insurance covers equipment damage from accidents, weather events, and handling incidents during loading, transport, and unloading.
The coverage limits are sufficient for most construction equipment values, but we can arrange additional coverage for particularly expensive or specialized machinery. We provide insurance documentation before transport begins so you understand exactly what protection is in place.
Professional equipment movers maintain proper insurance because the cost of replacing damaged machinery far exceeds transport fees. We’ve invested in comprehensive coverage because your equipment represents a significant investment that deserves proper protection.
Schedule equipment moves at least one week in advance for standard transport, longer for oversized loads requiring special permits or escort vehicles. Permit processing, route planning, and equipment scheduling all take time to coordinate properly.
Peak construction season (spring through fall) creates higher demand for equipment transport services. During these busy periods, scheduling 2-3 weeks ahead ensures availability and prevents project delays.
Emergency equipment moves are possible when schedules allow, but rush service typically costs more due to expedited permit processing and schedule adjustments. Planning ahead saves money and reduces stress when equipment needs to move on specific dates.
Yes, professional loading and unloading are included in our equipment transport service. We bring appropriate ramps, rigging equipment, and experienced operators who understand proper loading techniques for different types of machinery.
Loading heavy equipment requires understanding weight distribution, center of gravity, and proper securing methods. Improper loading can damage both the equipment and transport trailer, creating expensive problems and safety hazards.
Our operators are trained in safe loading procedures and carry the insurance coverage necessary for handling customer equipment. We also coordinate with crane services when equipment requires lifting rather than driving onto trailers.
