Our machinery transport service covers everything from compact excavators to large construction equipment. We handle the permits, provide the appropriate trailers, and manage all the logistics that come with moving heavy equipment in the Glens Falls North area.
Local conditions matter when you’re moving expensive machinery. The rocky terrain common throughout this region requires specialized knowledge about weight distribution and route selection. Seasonal restrictions, bridge limitations, and local traffic patterns all factor into safe, efficient equipment transport.
We coordinate with local authorities when necessary and maintain relationships with permit offices to expedite the approval process. Your equipment move gets handled professionally from start to finish, with all regulatory requirements met and your machinery protected throughout transport.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on several factors: the size and weight of your machinery, distance traveled, and any special requirements like oversized permits or escort vehicles. For local moves within the Glens Falls North area, you can expect costs to range from $300-800 for standard excavators and similar equipment.
Longer distances increase costs, but the per-mile rate typically decreases for trips over 100 miles. Additional factors that affect pricing include pickup and delivery accessibility, time constraints, and whether disassembly is required. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific equipment and route requirements.
The key is getting an accurate quote upfront so there are no surprises. We factor in all potential costs including permits, fuel surcharges, and any special handling requirements during our initial assessment.
New York requires oversize and overweight permits for equipment that exceeds standard legal limits. Most excavators, bulldozers, and large construction equipment require permits due to width, height, or weight restrictions. The specific permits depend on your equipment dimensions and the route.
We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with DOT regulations. This includes route restrictions, time-of-day limitations, and any escort vehicle requirements. Some routes require advance approval and coordination with local authorities.
Permit processing typically takes 2-5 business days, which we factor into your project timeline. We maintain current knowledge of permit requirements and work with you to ensure all regulatory compliance is handled properly before your equipment move.
Yes, we regularly deliver equipment to challenging job sites throughout the Glens Falls North area. Limited access situations require careful planning, but they’re common in this region due to the terrain and older road infrastructure.
We assess access routes during our initial site evaluation, identifying potential obstacles like low bridges, narrow roads, or weight-restricted areas. Sometimes this means using smaller trailers or alternative routes, but we find solutions that get your equipment where it needs to go.
For extremely tight access situations, we can coordinate with other contractors to temporarily remove obstacles or provide additional equipment for final positioning. The key is planning ahead and having experienced operators who understand how to navigate challenging delivery locations safely.
For standard equipment moves in the Glens Falls North area, we recommend scheduling at least one week in advance. This allows time for permit processing, route planning, and coordination with your project timeline.
Oversized loads or complex moves may require 2-3 weeks advance notice, especially if special permits or escort vehicles are needed. Peak construction season (spring through fall) fills up quickly, so earlier scheduling ensures availability when you need it.
Emergency moves can often be accommodated within 24-48 hours for standard equipment, depending on permit requirements and equipment availability. We maintain backup equipment specifically to handle urgent situations, but advance planning always provides better scheduling flexibility and often better pricing.
We carry comprehensive cargo insurance that covers your equipment during transport, including loading, transit, and unloading. Our coverage protects against damage, theft, and other losses that could occur during the moving process.
Insurance limits are based on the declared value of your equipment, and we can arrange additional coverage for high-value machinery if needed. All coverage details are provided in writing before your equipment move begins.
We also maintain commercial vehicle insurance and proper licensing for all transport operations. This protects both your equipment and provides liability coverage throughout the transport process. Documentation of all insurance coverage is available upon request and included in your service agreement.
Yes, we can provide secure storage for equipment when pickup and delivery dates don’t align with your project schedule. This is common when equipment arrives before a job site is ready or when coordinating multiple pieces of machinery.
Our storage facility accommodates various equipment types and provides security for valuable machinery. Storage is available on a daily or weekly basis, with rates determined by equipment size and storage duration.
We coordinate storage logistics as part of your overall transport plan, ensuring your equipment is protected and ready for delivery when you need it. This service is particularly valuable for contractors managing multiple job sites or dealing with weather-related delays that affect project timelines.
