When your excavator needs to be across town tomorrow morning, you can’t afford delays or damage. Our lowboy trailer transport services handle everything from compact skid steers to 100,000-pound excavators across Glenburnie and the tri-county area.
You get experienced drivers who understand that your equipment represents serious money. Every load gets secured according to DOT standards, every route gets planned for clearance issues, and every delivery happens when we say it will.
No more wondering if your equipment will show up. No more dealing with damaged hydraulics or scratched paint. Just professional transport that treats your machinery like the investment it is.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving heavy equipment across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties since 1997. We started because too many contractors were getting burned by transport companies who overpromised and underdelivered.
We own our fleet of lowboy trailers, RGN equipment, and specialized hauling trucks. That means we control the schedule, the maintenance, and the availability. When you need emergency transport or rush delivery, we don’t have to call around looking for rental equipment.
Local knowledge matters when you’re moving oversized loads through Glenburnie. We know every weight restriction, every low bridge, and every seasonal limitation that could slow down your delivery.
First, you tell us what needs to move, when, and where. We evaluate the equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. If permits are needed for oversize loads, we handle that paperwork.
Next, we schedule pickup with the right trailer for your specific equipment. Our drivers arrive with proper tie-down equipment and loading assistance if needed. Everything gets secured according to Department of Transportation standards before we roll.
During transport, we handle route planning to avoid height restrictions and weight limits. Your equipment travels the safest, most efficient path to the destination. Upon delivery, we provide confirmation and documentation that the job is complete.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact construction equipment to massive excavators and bulldozers. We handle lowboy trailer transport, RGN hauling, and specialized Landoll trailer services for equipment that requires ground loading.
Glenburnie’s construction market demands reliable equipment transport, especially with the area’s growing residential and commercial development. Local contractors need transport services that understand tight job site access, seasonal weight restrictions, and the urgency of keeping projects on schedule.
We provide loading and unloading assistance, pilot car services for oversized loads, and emergency transport when equipment breaks down on site. Every service includes comprehensive insurance coverage and proper permitting for legal compliance across New York state.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, compactors, cranes, and other heavy construction machinery using our fleet of lowboy trailers rated for over 100,000 pounds. Our equipment includes standard lowboy trailers, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for easy loading, and Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities.
The low deck height of our trailers allows us to transport tall equipment without exceeding height regulations, making it possible to move machinery that wouldn’t fit on standard flatbed trailers. We also handle oversize loads that require special permits and pilot car escorts.
For equipment with tracks or wheels that aren’t road-legal, lowboy transport is often the only viable option. We secure everything with proper tie-downs and chains according to DOT specifications to prevent shifting during transport.
Equipment moving costs depend on several factors including equipment size, weight, distance, and whether special permits are required. Local moves within Glenburnie typically cost less than long-distance transport, but oversize loads requiring permits and pilot cars increase the price.
We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Factors that affect pricing include pickup and delivery accessibility, time sensitivity, and any special handling requirements your equipment might need.
Emergency or rush deliveries cost more than scheduled transport, but we offer competitive rates for planned moves. The best approach is to call for a specific quote based on your exact equipment and timeline requirements.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and arrange pilot car escorts when needed for oversize loads. New York state has specific regulations for equipment that exceeds standard width, height, or weight limits, and we manage that entire process.
Our experience with local and state regulations means we know which loads require permits, what routes are approved for oversize transport, and when pilot cars are mandatory. We coordinate timing restrictions that some permits require, such as daylight-only transport or avoiding peak traffic hours.
This permit handling is included in our service because we understand that most equipment owners don’t want to deal with regulatory paperwork. We take care of the compliance issues so you can focus on your construction project instead of transportation logistics.
We offer emergency and rush equipment transport services when your project timeline demands immediate response. Equipment breakdowns, urgent job site relocations, and last-minute project changes all qualify for our expedited service options.
Same-day service depends on equipment availability and permit requirements. Simple moves within Glenburnie using standard lowboy trailers can often be arranged within hours. Oversize loads requiring permits and pilot cars need more advance planning, but we can typically arrange next-day service.
Our local presence and owned equipment fleet gives us flexibility that companies relying on rental trailers can’t match. When you have an equipment emergency, we don’t have to wait for rental availability or coordinate with multiple subcontractors.
We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment from pickup to delivery. This includes protection against damage during loading, transport, and unloading, as well as coverage for theft or total loss scenarios.
Our insurance meets all state requirements and provides the coverage levels that equipment owners and leasing companies typically require. We provide certificates of insurance and can add additional insured parties when contracts require it.
The insurance coverage is automatic with our transport service, not an optional add-on. We understand that construction equipment represents significant investment, and proper insurance protection gives you peace of mind throughout the transport process.
For standard equipment moves, we recommend scheduling at least 2-3 days in advance to ensure trailer availability and proper route planning. Oversize loads requiring permits need more lead time, typically 5-7 days, because permit processing can take several business days.
Seasonal factors affect scheduling, especially during peak construction months when demand for equipment transport increases. Winter weather can also create delays, so additional planning time helps ensure your equipment arrives when needed.
We maintain scheduling flexibility for established customers and try to accommodate short-notice requests when possible. The key is calling as soon as you know you’ll need transport services rather than waiting until the last minute.
