Your construction equipment represents a significant investment. When it needs to move, you can’t afford delays, damage, or surprises.
We handle the entire transport process—from securing the right trailer type to obtaining permits and planning the safest route. Your excavator, bulldozer, or crane gets loaded properly, secured correctly, and delivered on schedule.
No more coordinating with multiple contractors or wondering if your equipment will arrive in working condition. You get one point of contact and complete peace of mind from pickup to delivery.
We’ve been serving the French Mountain area since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into specialized excavation and equipment transport services.
Josh personally oversees every job, ensuring the same attention to detail whether you’re moving a compact excavator or a 40-ton crane. This isn’t a faceless corporation—it’s a family business where your equipment matters as much to us as it does to you.
The French Mountain area presents unique challenges with its terrain and road conditions. We know these routes, understand the local regulations, and have the relationships with permitting authorities to keep your transport moving smoothly.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type—whether that’s a lowboy for tall loads, an RGN for self-loading machinery, or a specialized Landoll trailer for unique requirements.
Next, we handle all the paperwork. Permits, route surveys, and coordination with local authorities happen behind the scenes so you don’t have to deal with regulatory headaches.
On moving day, our experienced operators arrive with the proper equipment. Loading is done carefully using appropriate techniques for your specific machinery. During transport, we maintain communication and handle any unexpected issues that arise.
Your equipment arrives ready to work, and you can focus on your project instead of worrying about logistics.

We transport all types of construction equipment throughout the French Mountain area and beyond. Excavators, bulldozers, cranes, loaders, compactors, and specialized machinery all move safely with our fleet of lowboy and RGN trailers.
French Mountain’s location provides access to major construction projects across New York, but the rural roads and elevation changes require experienced transport operators. We understand weight restrictions on local bridges, height clearances under overpasses, and seasonal road conditions that affect routing.
Our service includes hydraulic tilt trailers for ground loading, sliding axle configurations for weight distribution, and specialized securing systems for oversized loads. Whether you’re moving equipment to a residential construction site or a major commercial project, we have the right equipment and experience to handle it properly.
We use several trailer types depending on your equipment’s size, weight, and loading requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment that needs the lowest possible deck height to clear bridges and overpasses.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers are ideal when your equipment can drive itself onto the trailer, as the front detaches and creates a ramp. For equipment that requires ground-level loading, we use hydraulic tilt trailers and Landoll trailers with sliding axles.
The choice depends on your specific machinery and the route requirements. We assess each job individually to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective trailer configuration.
Yes, permit acquisition and route planning are included in our service. Oversized equipment transport requires specific permits from the Department of Transportation, and routes must be surveyed for clearances, weight restrictions, and road conditions.
We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities to ensure legal compliance. This includes determining if escort vehicles are required, identifying approved travel times, and planning alternate routes in case of unexpected road conditions.
Our experience with French Mountain area roads and regulations means we can often find more efficient routes than out-of-area transport companies, potentially saving you time and money on your move.
Equipment safety starts with proper loading techniques. We use appropriate chains, straps, and blocking to secure machinery according to DOT regulations and manufacturer specifications. Different equipment types require different securing methods.
Our operators are experienced with various machinery types and understand proper loading procedures. We inspect securing systems before departure and during mandatory stops to ensure everything remains properly positioned.
We also carry comprehensive insurance coverage and maintain detailed documentation throughout the transport process. If weather or road conditions become unsafe, we’ll delay the move rather than risk damage to your valuable equipment.
Lowboy trailers have a permanently attached gooseneck and feature a very low deck height, typically 18-24 inches from the ground. They’re excellent for tall equipment that needs maximum clearance under bridges and power lines, and they can handle heavy loads up to 80,000 pounds with additional axles.
RGN trailers have a detachable gooseneck that can be removed and lowered to create a loading ramp. This makes them ideal for self-propelled equipment like excavators and bulldozers that can drive onto the trailer. RGNs can be configured for even heavier loads, up to 150,000 pounds or more.
The choice depends on your equipment type, weight, height, and whether it can move under its own power. We’ll recommend the most appropriate trailer based on your specific requirements and route conditions.
For standard equipment moves within normal weight and size limits, we can often accommodate requests with 24-48 hours notice, depending on our schedule and trailer availability.
Oversized loads requiring permits typically need 3-5 business days advance notice, as permit processing and route approvals take time. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging routes may require additional planning time.
For urgent situations, we’ll work with you to find solutions. Sometimes we can expedite permits or adjust our schedule to meet critical project deadlines. The key is communication—call us as soon as you know you’ll need transport, and we’ll do everything possible to accommodate your timeline.
Yes, we transport equipment throughout New York State and into surrounding states when needed. While French Mountain is our home base, we regularly handle moves to construction sites across the region.
Long-distance transport requires additional planning for permits, routing, and scheduling, but we have the experience and equipment to handle these moves safely and efficiently. We’ll coordinate with authorities in multiple jurisdictions to ensure legal compliance throughout the journey.
Distance affects pricing, but we often find that our competitive rates and reliable service make us cost-effective even for longer moves. We’ll provide a detailed quote that includes all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
