When your excavator breaks down at a job site or you need to move equipment between projects, downtime costs money. Every hour that machine sits idle is revenue you’re not earning.
Our lowboy trailer and RGN transport services get your heavy equipment back in operation fast. We handle everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers, using the right trailer configuration for your specific equipment dimensions and weight.
You get predictable scheduling, careful loading procedures, and equipment that arrives in the same condition it left. No surprises, no damage claims, no excuses about why your machine didn’t make it to the job site on time.
We’ve been serving the construction industry since 1997. We started as a logging operation and expanded into full-time excavation and equipment services in 2020.
Josh Emerson personally oversees most equipment moves to ensure your machinery gets the attention it deserves. We’re not a faceless trucking company – we’re local contractors who understand what it means when equipment doesn’t show up.
Our investment in proper trailers and experienced operators reflects our commitment to East Hartford’s construction community. When you need equipment moved, you’re working with people who’ve built their reputation one successful transport at a time.
Every equipment move starts with understanding exactly what you need transported and where it’s going. We evaluate your equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements.
Once we confirm trailer availability and route logistics, we coordinate pickup timing that works with your schedule. Our operators arrive with the appropriate lowboy or RGN trailer configuration for your specific equipment.
Loading happens carefully with proper tie-down procedures and weight distribution. During transport, we monitor progress and communicate any updates about delivery timing.
At the destination, we unload your equipment safely and position it where you need it. The job isn’t complete until your machine is ready for operation and you’re satisfied with the service.

East Hartford’s construction market demands reliable equipment transport services. With ongoing infrastructure projects and residential development throughout Hartford County, contractors need partners who understand local requirements and deliver consistent results.
Our lowboy trailer services handle standard excavators, bulldozers, and compact equipment. For taller machines or specialized attachments, our RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers provide the flexibility needed for challenging loads.
We also offer Landoll trailer services for equipment that requires hydraulic tilt loading, and sliding axle configurations for optimal weight distribution. Each transport includes proper permits, route planning, and coordination with local authorities when required.
Ground loading capabilities mean we can handle equipment without ramps or special loading facilities. This flexibility keeps your project moving even when working from remote job sites or temporary staging areas.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, compact track loaders, and similar construction equipment using lowboy trailers. Our standard lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 40,000 pounds and 14 feet in height.
For taller equipment or machines with extended booms, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers that provide additional clearance. The removable front section creates a ramp for easy loading of tracked equipment.
We also handle specialized attachments, hydraulic hammers, and oversized implements. Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually to determine the best trailer configuration and transport method for safe delivery.
For standard equipment moves within East Hartford and surrounding areas, we typically need 24-48 hours notice to coordinate trailer availability and route planning. Emergency moves can often be accommodated with shorter notice depending on our current schedule.
Larger or oversized loads may require additional planning time for permits and route surveys. We’ll let you know during the initial call if your specific equipment needs extra preparation time.
For contractors with regular transport needs, we can establish preferred scheduling arrangements that provide priority booking during busy construction seasons. This helps ensure equipment availability when you need it most.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and route planning for oversize equipment transport. This includes coordinating with local authorities, identifying height and weight restrictions, and planning the safest route to your destination.
Our team understands Connecticut DOT requirements and maintains relationships with permitting agencies to expedite the approval process. We also coordinate with utility companies when equipment height requires temporary wire lifting.
Route surveys are conducted for challenging moves to identify potential obstacles like low bridges, narrow roads, or weight-restricted areas. This advance planning prevents delays and ensures your equipment arrives on schedule.
Equipment loading begins with proper positioning and weight distribution assessment. We use appropriate tie-down chains, binders, and blocking materials rated for your equipment’s weight and dimensions.
Our operators are experienced with different equipment types and understand proper loading procedures for tracked and wheeled machines. We secure all loose parts, hydraulic attachments, and accessories to prevent damage during transport.
During transport, we monitor road conditions, weather, and traffic patterns that could affect safety. Our trailers are regularly inspected and maintained to DOT standards, with current safety certifications and insurance coverage for your protection.
We regularly deliver equipment to challenging job sites including residential areas with narrow streets, rural locations with unpaved access roads, and commercial sites with overhead restrictions.
Our operators evaluate access routes in advance and coordinate with site supervisors to ensure safe delivery. We can work around parked vehicles, overhead utilities, and other obstacles that might complicate standard delivery.
For sites where our trailer cannot access directly, we coordinate with the customer to identify the closest suitable unloading location. We can also arrange for smaller equipment to transport machines the final distance when necessary.
We provide equipment moving services throughout East Hartford and the greater Hartford County area. This includes surrounding communities like Manchester, Glastonbury, South Windsor, and Vernon.
For longer distance moves within Connecticut or to neighboring states, we coordinate timing and pricing based on the specific route and equipment requirements. We maintain relationships with qualified carriers for moves outside our primary service area.
Local moves within our service area typically offer same-day or next-day service depending on scheduling availability. Regional moves may require additional coordination time but we work to accommodate your project timeline whenever possible.
