We secure your machinery using professional-grade methods, handle all the oversize load permits, and keep you updated throughout the entire transport process.
No surprises. No delays. No damaged equipment. Just professional heavy equipment transport that keeps your projects moving forward and protects your bottom line from costly delays.
We’ve been serving contractors in Edinburg, NY and the surrounding Capital Region for over 25 years. We started as a logging operation and transitioned to full-time excavation and specialized equipment transport services. Josh oversees every job personally, ensuring the same level of care we’d want for our own equipment.
As a local family business, we understand Edinburg’s rural roads, seasonal weight restrictions, and New York’s complex permit requirements better than outside companies. We know which routes work best for oversize loads and how to navigate the local conditions that can trip up inexperienced haulers.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in the market. We’re focused on being the most reliable equipment moving service you’ll find, building long-term relationships with contractors who value quality and consistency over rock-bottom pricing.
First, we assess your equipment and transport requirements. Dimensions, weight, pickup location, delivery site, timeline. This information helps us select the right trailer – whether that’s a standard lowboy, Landoll trailer with sliding axles, or RGN removable gooseneck trailer – and plan the most efficient route.
Next, we handle the paperwork headaches. Oversize load permits, route planning, timing restrictions. New York has specific rules about when and where heavy equipment can travel, and we navigate all of that so you don’t have to deal with state bureaucracy.
On transport day, we arrive with the proper equipment and secure your machinery using professional tie-down methods rated for the specific load. Throughout the move, you get updates on progress and estimated arrival times. Your equipment gets delivered safely and positioned exactly where you need it, ready to get back to work.

Our equipment moving fleet includes multiple trailer types to handle different transport challenges. Lowboy trailers for tall equipment that needs maximum height clearance under bridges. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt and sliding axles for ground-level loading in tight spaces. RGN trailers with removable goosenecks for equipment that can’t use ramps.
For Edinburg, NY contractors, this versatility matters. Rural job sites often have access challenges that require specific trailer configurations. Seasonal weight restrictions on local roads mean timing and route selection become critical factors. Our local knowledge prevents delays and ensures compliance with all regulations.
Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites, transporting machinery from rental yards, or shipping equipment to auction houses, we match the right trailer and transport method to your specific needs. Ground loading capabilities, hydraulic tilt functions, and specialized securing systems ensure safe transport regardless of equipment type or site conditions.
We transport the full range of heavy construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, mini excavators, compactors, generators, compressors, scissor lifts, boom lifts, forklifts, and specialized machinery. Lowboy trailers are particularly effective for tall equipment because the low deck height provides maximum clearance under bridges and overpasses.
Our trailers can handle equipment up to 11.5 feet tall and combined weights up to 80,000 pounds including the trailer. For equipment with unusual dimensions or specialized requirements, we evaluate each situation individually to determine the best transport approach.
We regularly move tracked equipment that can’t legally travel on roads, wheeled equipment that exceeds highway travel limits, and machinery that owners prefer to transport rather than risk wear and tear from long-distance self-transport. If it’s construction equipment that needs to move, we can likely handle it.
Yes, we manage all permit requirements for oversize loads throughout New York State. This includes obtaining proper permits from the Department of Transportation and ensuring full compliance with regulations covering width, height, length, and weight restrictions for heavy equipment hauling.
New York has strict rules about oversize load travel times – generally half-hour before sunrise to half-hour after sunset on weekdays, Saturday restrictions until noon, and no travel on Sundays or major holidays. We plan all equipment transport schedules around these requirements to avoid delays or violations.
For loads exceeding standard oversize dimensions, we also handle Super Load permits which require additional coordination with state authorities. Our experience with New York’s permit system means you avoid the bureaucratic maze – we handle all paperwork and ensure complete regulatory compliance for your equipment moves.
Equipment security is non-negotiable, and we use professional-grade securing methods specific to each type of machinery. Heavy-duty chains, straps, and binding equipment all rated for the loads we’re transporting. Multiple securing points prevent any shifting during transport, even on rough roads or during emergency braking.
For tracked equipment like excavators, we secure at specific tie-down points on tracks and frame structures. Wheeled equipment gets wheel chocks plus additional frame securing points. Delicate or high-value equipment receives extra protection with padding or covers to prevent damage from road debris and weather.
Before departure, we inspect all securing equipment and test tie-down tension. On longer hauls, we make scheduled stops to check and re-tighten securement as materials settle. Our reputation depends on delivering your equipment in exactly the same condition it was when we picked it up.
Both excel at heavy equipment transport but serve different loading and transport situations. Lowboy trailers feature a fixed low deck profile, ideal for tall equipment needing maximum height clearance. They’re perfect for excavators, bulldozers, and construction machinery that would exceed height limits on standard flatbed trailers.
Landoll trailers offer sliding axles and hydraulic tilt capabilities, providing exceptional versatility for loading and unloading scenarios. Sliding axles allow the trailer deck to get extremely low for easy equipment loading without steep ramps. Hydraulic tilt creates gentle loading angles even in confined spaces.
RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers provide ground-level loading by detaching the front gooseneck section, essentially creating a ramp for easy equipment access. We select trailer type based on your specific equipment dimensions, loading site conditions, and transport requirements to ensure the safest and most efficient move possible.
For standard equipment moves within the Capital Region, we can often accommodate requests with 24-48 hours notice, depending on our current schedule and trailer availability. However, scheduling at least one week in advance ensures we can meet your preferred timing and select optimal transport conditions.
Moves requiring oversize load permits need additional lead time since permit processing typically takes several business days. Complex transport jobs involving multiple equipment pieces or long-distance hauling require more advance planning to coordinate all logistics properly and secure necessary route approvals.
Emergency situations get priority response. Construction schedules change rapidly, and we understand that equipment transport needs can become urgent quickly. Having an established relationship with our transport services often means faster response times when critical deadlines emerge unexpectedly.
We provide heavy equipment transport services throughout the greater Capital Region, including all of Saratoga County, Albany County, Schenectady County, and surrounding areas in upstate New York. Our local knowledge of Edinburg and the broader region means we understand optimal routes, potential restrictions, and seasonal conditions affecting transport.
For longer-distance equipment moves, we transport throughout New York State and into neighboring states when projects require it. Distance isn’t necessarily limiting – it’s about ensuring we have appropriate equipment and permits for the specific route and destination requirements.
We’re particularly familiar with roads and seasonal conditions throughout the Adirondack region, which matters for safe equipment transport in areas with weight restrictions, challenging terrain, or seasonal access limitations. Whether moving equipment between local job sites or transporting machinery from dealers, auctions, or rental facilities, we handle the logistics and ensure safe delivery.
