You need equipment transport that doesn’t create new problems. Our heavy equipment moving keeps your project timeline intact and your valuable machinery protected.
No surprise damage bills from careless handling. No missed delivery windows that halt your entire operation. No hidden fees that inflate your transport costs after the fact.
Your equipment gets professional treatment from loading to delivery, with proper securing techniques and route planning that accounts for New York’s strict DOT regulations. You know exactly what you’re paying upfront, and you can focus on your project instead of worrying about whether your machinery will arrive intact.
Since 1997, we’ve served Fitch Point, NY and the surrounding Capital Region with professional excavation and equipment transport services. What started as a logging operation has evolved into full-service excavation and machinery moving, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022.
We own our equipment instead of renting it. That means faster response times, better availability, and more competitive pricing for your heavy equipment transport needs. When you work with companies that rent their machinery, you’re paying markup costs and dealing with scheduling limitations that aren’t under their control.
Our family-owned approach means Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring the quality and attention your expensive equipment deserves throughout the transport process.
First, we assess your equipment specifications, pickup location, and delivery requirements. This includes checking weight, dimensions, and any special handling needs to determine the right transport method and permits required.
Next, we handle all DOT permit requirements and route planning. New York has strict regulations for oversize loads, and we manage the paperwork and compliance so your transport stays legal and on schedule.
On transport day, we arrive with proper securing equipment and load your machinery using proven techniques that prevent shifting or damage. GPS tracking keeps you informed of progress, and our experienced operators handle the delivery with the same care they’d use for their own equipment.

Our heavy equipment moving services cover excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and specialized construction machinery throughout Fitch Point, NY and the greater Capital Region. We handle both local moves between job sites and longer-distance transport to other states.
Each transport includes proper load securing, route surveying, and coordination with local authorities when required. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment investment, and our pricing covers all necessary permits and escort services without surprise fees.
Fitch Point’s location in the Capital Region provides excellent access to major highways, but the area’s terrain and weather conditions require local expertise. We understand how upstate New York’s soil conditions, seasonal challenges, and infrastructure affect equipment transport, ensuring your machinery reaches its destination safely regardless of conditions.
New York requires oversize permits for any load exceeding standard dimensions – typically over 8’6″ wide, 13’6″ high, or 80,000 pounds gross weight. Permits can take up to two weeks for super loads over 80,000 pounds, and some require night-only transport to avoid heavy traffic.
We handle all permit applications and DOT compliance for your transport. This includes route surveys, bridge clearance verification, and coordination with local authorities when escort vehicles are required. The permit process varies based on your equipment’s specific dimensions and the route to your destination.
Proper securing starts with understanding your equipment’s center of gravity and securing points. We use appropriate chains, straps, and blocking materials rated for the specific weight and dimensions of your machinery. Each piece gets secured at manufacturer-recommended points to prevent stress on hydraulic components or structural elements.
Route planning prevents damage from low bridges, weight-restricted roads, or tight turns that could cause equipment to shift. We also inspect securing points during longer transports and adjust as needed. Our operators are trained in proper loading techniques that prevent hydraulic damage and ensure your equipment arrives ready to work.
Our pricing covers complete transport from pickup to delivery, including all necessary permits, proper securing equipment, and route planning. You get upfront pricing with no hidden fees for fuel, equipment usage, or multiple securing adjustments during transport.
Insurance coverage is included to protect your equipment investment during transport. If escort vehicles are required by DOT regulations, that cost is factored into your quote rather than added as a surprise charge. The only additional costs would be for services outside the original scope, which we discuss before proceeding.
For standard equipment moves within New York, we typically need 3-5 days notice to handle permits and scheduling. Oversize loads requiring special permits need 1-2 weeks advance notice, especially during peak construction season when permit processing takes longer.
Emergency transport is available for urgent situations, though permit limitations may require night transport or specific routing. Weather conditions in upstate New York can also affect scheduling, particularly during winter months when road conditions impact safe transport of heavy equipment.
Yes, we handle interstate heavy equipment transport from Fitch Point, NY to destinations throughout the Northeast and beyond. Interstate moves require additional permits and coordination with multiple state DOT offices, which we manage as part of our service.
Longer-distance transport includes GPS tracking so you can monitor progress and estimated arrival times. We coordinate delivery timing with your project schedule and provide updates throughout the transport process. Interstate pricing varies based on distance, route complexity, and permit requirements for your specific equipment.
We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, cranes, compactors, generators, and specialized machinery. Our equipment and experience handle everything from compact utility tractors to large excavators and oversized industrial equipment.
Each type of equipment has specific securing requirements and transport considerations. Tracked equipment needs different handling than wheeled machinery, and hydraulic systems require specific positioning to prevent damage. We assess each piece individually to determine the safest transport method and any special requirements for your particular equipment type.
