Every heavy equipment move includes professional loading and securing, route planning for oversized loads, and all necessary permit acquisition. Our drivers bring years of experience handling excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and specialty construction equipment.
Garnet Lake’s location in the southern Adirondacks presents unique challenges – from seasonal road restrictions to the remote access routes common around the lake. We understand which roads can handle heavy loads and when weather conditions make transport impractical.
Your equipment gets the specialized attention it deserves, with tie-down techniques that prevent shifting during transport and insurance coverage that protects your investment from pickup to final positioning.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s weight and dimensions, plus the specific route we’ll take. Most excavators and bulldozers require oversize/overweight permits when traveling on New York state roads.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance. The Adirondack region has specific seasonal restrictions that affect when certain equipment can be moved, especially during spring thaw when road weight limits are reduced.
Our local knowledge means we know which routes require additional permits and can plan accordingly to avoid delays or violations that could shut down your transport.
Local equipment moves typically range from $300-400 for standard excavators and similar machinery, but the final cost depends on several factors specific to your situation.
Equipment weight, dimensions, transport distance, and permit requirements all affect pricing. Garnet Lake’s remote location may require longer travel times for our equipment, which factors into the total cost.
We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Emergency or rush moves may include additional charges, but we’ll discuss all costs during the initial assessment.
Yes, we regularly deliver equipment to remote locations throughout the Adirondack region, including areas around Garnet Lake where access can be challenging.
Our drivers are familiar with the back roads, seasonal restrictions, and terrain limitations common in this area. We assess access routes during the planning phase to ensure our trailers can safely reach your destination.
Some remote locations may require additional coordination or specialized equipment for unloading, which we’ll identify upfront. Our local expertise helps avoid situations where equipment gets stuck or damaged due to poor route planning.
We carry comprehensive cargo insurance that covers your equipment from the moment it’s loaded until it’s safely delivered and positioned at your destination.
Our coverage protects against damage during loading, transport, and unloading. This is separate from our general liability insurance and specifically designed to protect valuable construction equipment during transport.
We can provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins, and our drivers are trained to document any pre-existing conditions to ensure clear accountability throughout the process.
For standard moves, we recommend scheduling at least 48-72 hours in advance to ensure availability and proper permit processing. However, we understand construction schedules change, and we offer emergency transport when possible.
Permit processing can take additional time, especially for oversized loads or routes that cross multiple jurisdictions. Seasonal factors around Garnet Lake, such as spring road restrictions, may also affect scheduling.
We’ll work with your timeline and provide realistic expectations about when your equipment can be moved. Rush jobs are possible but may include additional fees for expedited permit processing or after-hours transport.
Yes, we provide year-round equipment transport, though winter conditions in the Adirondack region require additional planning and safety measures.
Snow, ice, and seasonal road restrictions can affect transport schedules and routes. We monitor weather conditions closely and may recommend postponing moves during severe winter storms for safety reasons.
Our drivers have experience with winter transport challenges and carry appropriate equipment for secure loading and unloading in cold conditions. We’ll discuss any weather-related considerations during the planning phase to ensure safe delivery of your equipment.
