Your construction timeline doesn’t stop for equipment moves. When you need machinery relocated, you need it done without damage, delays, or surprise costs that derail your project budget.
Professional heavy equipment moving means your excavators, bulldozers, and specialty machinery arrive at the new site ready to work. No downtime waiting for repairs from transport damage. No scrambling to find replacement equipment because something got mishandled during the move.
You get equipment that’s properly secured, transported on appropriate trailers, and delivered exactly where you need it. Your project stays on schedule, your equipment investment stays protected, and your crew can get back to work immediately.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving East Hartford and surrounding areas since 1997. We understand the unique challenges of moving heavy equipment in upstate New York, from navigating local regulations to handling seasonal weather conditions that affect transport.
Our team owns the specialized equipment needed for safe machinery transport. That means no delays waiting for rental equipment or subcontractors. When your equipment needs to move, we control the timeline and ensure quality throughout the process.
We’ve handled everything from small excavators to large construction machinery, always focusing on proper securing, route planning, and regulatory compliance that prevent problems during transport.
Every heavy equipment move starts with a thorough assessment of your machinery and transport requirements. We evaluate equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling needs to determine the right trailer and securing method.
Next comes route planning and permit acquisition. We handle all necessary oversize load permits and identify the safest, most efficient route to your destination. This includes checking for bridge clearances, road restrictions, and any construction zones that could affect transport.
The actual transport involves professional loading using appropriate equipment, secure tie-down procedures, and careful monitoring throughout the journey. Our operators understand how to handle different types of construction equipment and adjust their approach based on terrain and weather conditions.
Once we reach your site, we coordinate the unloading process to place equipment exactly where you need it. The job isn’t complete until your machinery is positioned and ready for operation.

Heavy equipment transport in New York requires oversize load permits when machinery exceeds standard legal dimensions or weight limits. The specific permits depend on your equipment’s size and weight.
For most construction equipment moves, you’ll need permits from the New York State Department of Transportation. These permits specify approved routes, travel time restrictions, and any escort requirements based on your load dimensions.
We handle the entire permit process, including application submission, route coordination, and compliance verification. This ensures your equipment move meets all regulatory requirements and avoids costly violations or delays during transport.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size, weight, transport distance, and any special handling requirements. Local moves within East Hartford typically cost less than long-distance transport to other states.
Additional factors affecting cost include permit requirements, escort needs, and timing. Moves during peak construction season or requiring weekend transport may incur higher rates due to increased demand and regulatory restrictions.

We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, cranes, loaders, and specialized machinery. Our fleet includes various trailer types to accommodate different equipment sizes and weights.
From compact excavators weighing a few thousand pounds to large construction equipment exceeding 80,000 pounds, we have the appropriate trailers and securing equipment for safe transport. This includes lowboy trailers for tall equipment and heavy-duty trailers for overweight loads.
Each equipment type requires specific loading procedures and securing methods. Our operators understand the proper attachment points, balance considerations, and transport positioning for different machinery to prevent damage during the move.
Local heavy equipment moves within East Hartford typically take one day from loading to delivery. The exact timeline depends on equipment size, permit requirements, and destination accessibility.
Longer distance moves or oversize loads requiring special permits may take additional time for route planning and regulatory compliance. Weather conditions and seasonal restrictions can also affect transport timing, especially during winter months when road conditions limit heavy transport.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and coordinate with your project schedule to minimize equipment downtime. For time-sensitive moves, we can often accommodate expedited transport to keep your construction project on track.
Yes, we carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment throughout the entire transport process. This includes coverage during loading, transport, and unloading operations.
Our insurance covers equipment damage, theft, and liability issues that could arise during transport. You receive documentation of our coverage limits and can request additional coverage for high-value specialty equipment if needed.
We also document equipment condition before loading and after delivery to ensure any pre-existing damage is noted. This protects both parties and provides clear documentation for insurance purposes if any issues arise during transport.
Safety starts with proper equipment assessment and trailer selection. We match the right trailer type and capacity to your specific equipment to ensure safe loading and transport without exceeding weight limits or stability requirements.
Professional securing procedures include multiple tie-down points, appropriate chain and strap ratings, and proper load distribution. Our operators are trained in DOT regulations for securing different equipment types and conduct safety inspections before departure.
During transport, we monitor weather conditions, road construction, and traffic patterns that could affect safe delivery. For oversize loads, we coordinate with escort vehicles and maintain communication with dispatch to ensure safe passage through East Hartford and surrounding areas.
