Your excavator arrives exactly where you need it, positioned correctly and ready for immediate use. No damage from improper transport. No delays waiting for equipment to show up. No coordination headaches with multiple drivers or transport companies.
Professional equipment moving means your project timeline stays intact. Your valuable machinery gets specialized handling from operators who understand how to load, secure, and transport heavy equipment safely. Low-profile trailers navigate challenging routes while maintaining the stability your equipment needs.
When transport becomes reliable, you can focus on the work that actually makes you money instead of worrying about logistics.
We started moving heavy equipment in 1997 when we were logging throughout Warren County. That taught us how to handle serious machinery in terrain that breaks down inexperienced operators and equipment.
The Adirondack region presents unique challenges – seasonal road restrictions, narrow mountain access routes, and properties where positioning equipment requires local knowledge. We’ve navigated these conditions for over 25 years, building relationships with customers who need their equipment moved right the first time.
Our family business approach means you deal with the same people from quote to delivery. No surprises, no miscommunication, just straightforward service from people who’ve earned their reputation one satisfied customer at a time throughout the Garnet Lake area.
We start by evaluating your specific equipment and transport requirements. A compact excavator needs different handling than a large bulldozer. Tall equipment may require specialized lowboy trailers for bridge clearance. Longer machinery might need extendable RGN trailers. We match the right transport solution to your equipment.
Loading happens with proper equipment and experienced operators. Every piece gets positioned according to weight distribution and secured using industry-standard tie-downs and blocking. We use hydraulic ramps, detachable goosenecks, or ground-loading techniques depending on your equipment type.
During transport, we handle route planning, permit coordination, and safe delivery to your specified location. Our drivers understand local road conditions and seasonal restrictions around Garnet Lake. Upon arrival, we position your equipment exactly where you want it, ready for immediate operation.

Lowboy trailers handle most construction equipment with their low deck height and superior stability. The reduced center of gravity keeps your machinery secure during transport while allowing passage under bridges that would stop higher trailers. For many loads, this eliminates special permit requirements entirely.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers provide ground-level loading when your equipment can’t be lifted onto a standard trailer. The detachable front section creates a drive-on ramp, perfect for self-propelled machinery. Extendable configurations accommodate equipment longer than standard trailer dimensions.
Around Garnet Lake, seasonal considerations affect equipment transport significantly. Spring mud season limits access to some job sites. Winter conditions require different routing and timing. Summer construction season creates higher demand and tighter scheduling. Our local experience means we plan around these factors to ensure reliable delivery regardless of conditions.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, compact track loaders, scissor lifts, boom lifts, forklifts, and most construction machinery. Our lowboy trailers safely handle equipment up to 80,000 pounds with proper load distribution and securing techniques.
Each transport gets evaluated individually because different equipment requires different approaches. Compact machinery might work fine on a standard lowboy, while taller equipment needs specialized low-profile trailers for bridge clearance. Longer pieces may require extendable RGN configurations.
For oversized or overweight equipment, we coordinate all permit requirements with New York DOT and local authorities. This includes route surveys, timing restrictions, and any escort requirements. The goal is seamless transport without delays or complications.
Proper securing starts with understanding each piece of equipment’s specific requirements. Weight distribution, tie-down points, and center of gravity all affect how equipment should be loaded and secured. Our operators have the experience to position machinery correctly and use appropriate restraint systems.
We inspect all chains, straps, and blocking materials before each job. Every load gets multiple securing points using the right hardware for the specific equipment type. During transport, our drivers adjust their techniques based on load characteristics and route conditions.
Pre-transport inspections document equipment condition, and we use protective materials when needed. Our goal is delivering your machinery in exactly the same condition it left, ready for immediate use on your job site.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight. Standard construction equipment within legal limits typically doesn’t require special permits. Oversized or overweight loads need New York DOT permits, which we handle completely including applications, fees, and coordination.
Some routes require additional permits, especially around bridges or through municipalities. We research every route in advance and obtain necessary approvals before transport begins. This prevents delays and ensures full legal compliance throughout the journey.
For the Garnet Lake area specifically, we understand local road restrictions, seasonal limitations, and any special requirements for Warren County. Our permit expertise covers both state regulations and local ordinances that might affect your equipment transport.
Standard equipment transport typically requires 2-3 days notice to arrange proper trailers and coordinate scheduling. Emergency moves can often be accommodated, but advance planning ensures better availability and potentially lower costs.
Oversized loads requiring permits need 5-7 days minimum because permit processing takes time. Some permits have restrictions on transport days or hours, which affects scheduling. Complex moves with multiple pieces or challenging access benefit from even more planning time.
Seasonal factors around Garnet Lake affect timing significantly. Spring mud season, winter weather, and peak construction periods all impact scheduling. We recommend discussing your project timeline early so we can plan around potential weather-related delays and ensure reliable delivery when you need it.
Our service covers complete transport from pickup to final positioning at your job site. This includes loading with proper equipment, securing using appropriate restraints, route planning, and professional unloading at your specified location. All necessary tie-downs, blocking materials, and protective equipment are included.
When permits are required, we handle all applications, paperwork, and coordination with authorities. Route surveys, timing coordination, and regulatory compliance are part of our service. You get transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
For local Warren County moves, pricing is typically straightforward based on equipment type and distance. Longer hauls or complex loads may have additional considerations, but we discuss all costs upfront during your initial consultation. The goal is no surprises and reliable service at a fair price.
We regularly navigate challenging access situations throughout the Adirondack region, including remote properties around Garnet Lake. Our experience includes narrow seasonal roads, steep grades, limited turning radius, and properties accessible only during certain times of year.
For extremely challenging access, we coordinate staging areas or work with local equipment to complete final positioning. Sometimes the best approach is transporting to the nearest accessible point and using other methods for the final positioning. We assess every situation individually to find the most practical solution.
Our 25+ years of local experience means we understand Warren County road conditions, seasonal restrictions, and property access challenges. We’ve delivered equipment to remote construction sites, seasonal camps, and locations that other transport companies won’t attempt. Local knowledge makes the difference between successful delivery and problems.
