Our family business approach means Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. You get personal attention rather than being just another transport number in someone’s system.
First, you get a site visit and equipment assessment. We evaluate your machinery’s dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements to determine the right trailer and loading approach.
Next, all permits and route planning get handled. You don’t have to worry about DOT regulations, oversize load permits, or figuring out which roads can handle your equipment safely.
Loading happens with the proper equipment and techniques for your specific machinery. Whether it’s a Landoll trailer for ground loading or a lowboy for tall equipment, each piece gets secured correctly for transport. You get updates throughout the process and professional unloading at your destination.

Your equipment moving service includes the right trailer for your machinery type. Lowboy trailers handle tall equipment that exceeds standard height limits, while RGN trailers work for extra-long loads that need the flexibility of a removable gooseneck.
Ground loading services use Landoll trailers with sliding axles and hydraulic tilt capabilities. This works particularly well for forklifts, scissor lifts, and other equipment that can drive on and off without ramps.
Local expertise means understanding Elnora’s specific requirements for oversize load transport. We know which routes avoid low bridges, weight restrictions, and traffic congestion that could delay your equipment delivery. You get professional transport that keeps your project timeline intact.
The trailer selection depends on your equipment’s specific dimensions and weight. Lowboy trailers work best for tall machinery like excavators and cranes because of their low deck height, keeping the overall transport height within legal limits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers handle extra-long equipment that won’t fit on standard trailers. The detachable front allows for easier loading of lengthy machinery. Landoll trailers with sliding axles and hydraulic tilt features are ideal for equipment that can drive on and off, like forklifts and scissor lifts.
Each trailer type gets selected based on your equipment’s requirements and the most efficient loading method. This approach protects your machinery and ensures legal transport compliance.
Equipment transport costs typically range from $2.50 to $4.00 per mile for standard loads, with pricing affected by equipment weight, dimensions, and any special handling requirements. Oversize loads requiring permits and escorts cost more due to additional regulatory compliance.
Local moves within the Elnora region often have minimum charges that reflect the setup time, permits, and equipment needed regardless of distance. Longer hauls generally offer better per-mile rates as the fixed costs get spread over more miles.
The most accurate pricing comes from an on-site assessment where we can evaluate your specific equipment and transport requirements. This eliminates surprises and ensures you get a firm quote that covers all aspects of the move.
Yes, all permit requirements get handled as part of our service. New York requires oversize load permits for equipment that exceeds standard width, height, or weight limits, and each permit specifies approved routes and transport times.
We manage all DOT paperwork, route approvals, and any escort vehicle requirements. This includes coordinating with local authorities when transport routes pass through multiple jurisdictions or require special clearances.
You don’t need to understand the complex permit requirements or worry about compliance issues. Everything gets handled professionally to ensure legal transport and avoid delays or fines that could affect your project schedule.
Local equipment moves within the Elnora area typically complete in the same day, though scheduling depends on equipment availability and permit processing time. Standard loads without oversize restrictions can often move with shorter notice.
Oversize loads requiring permits need additional lead time for regulatory approval, usually 2-3 business days minimum. Complex moves involving multiple pieces or challenging access may require more time for proper planning and execution.
We provide realistic timelines upfront based on your specific requirements. Rush service may be available for urgent moves, though this can affect pricing due to priority scheduling and expedited permit processing.
Your equipment should be cleaned of excess dirt and debris to prevent load shifting and allow proper inspection. All hydraulic attachments, arms, and buckets need to be secured in transport position to minimize height and prevent movement during transit.
Fuel tanks should be nearly empty to reduce weight and eliminate spill risks. Any loose parts, tools, or accessories should be removed and transported separately to prevent damage or loss during the move.
We will inspect your equipment before loading to identify any potential issues. This includes checking that all hydraulic systems work properly for positioning attachments and ensuring the equipment can be loaded safely onto the selected trailer.
Yes, construction site equipment moving is a core service, including delivery to active job sites, equipment relocation between sites, and transport to and from equipment dealers or auction houses. We understand construction site access challenges and timing requirements.
Site deliveries get coordinated with project schedules to avoid conflicts with other trades or site activities. This includes working around limited access hours, tight spaces, and coordinating with site supervisors for safe equipment placement.
Our service extends beyond simple transport to include positioning equipment where it needs to be on-site when possible. This saves you time and labor costs associated with moving equipment after delivery, keeping your construction project moving efficiently.
