Your project timeline and budget depend on getting equipment moved right the first time. When your excavator, bulldozer, or specialized machinery needs transport, amateur mistakes aren’t an option.
Professional heavy equipment moving means your machines arrive exactly as they left. No scratches from improper loading, no mechanical damage from inadequate securing, no “learning experiences” that cost you thousands in repairs and downtime.
You get equipment delivered precisely when promised, properly secured during transport, and positioned exactly where you need it. Your construction schedule stays intact, your equipment retains its value, and your project moves forward without costly delays.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout Halfmoon and the Capital Region for over 25 years. What started as a logging operation has evolved into comprehensive excavation and machinery transport services.
Josh and his son have built our reputation one successful move at a time throughout Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. We understand Halfmoon’s unique challenges, from navigating the busy Route 9 corridor to handling equipment transport through established neighborhoods near active construction zones.
When you work with our family business that’s invested in the community, you get accountability that protects our reputation. No subcontractors you’ve never met, no fly-by-night operations that disappear when problems arise – just experienced professionals who stand behind every move.
Every heavy equipment move begins with thorough planning that prevents problems before they start. We evaluate your machinery specifications, assess both pickup and delivery sites, and identify any challenges that could affect transport safety or timing.
Route planning considers bridge weight limits, road restrictions, and permit requirements specific to your equipment dimensions and weight. We coordinate with New York State DOT and local authorities when necessary, ensuring all documentation is complete before your equipment leaves the ground.
Loading happens with specialized equipment designed for your specific machinery type. Proper tie-downs, strategic weight distribution, and protective measures prevent shifting and damage during transport. Real-time communication keeps you informed of progress and arrival timing throughout the move.
Delivery includes careful unloading and precise positioning at your specified location. We don’t consider the job complete until your equipment is exactly where you need it, ready for immediate operation on your Halfmoon project.

Halfmoon’s strategic location along major transportation corridors like Route 9 and I-87 makes it a hub for construction activity. Local contractors working on the area’s booming residential developments need reliable equipment transport that understands regional logistics and timing requirements.
The town’s rapid growth, with major subdivisions like Hank’s Hollow’s 106-lot development and Summit Ridge’s 38-lot community, creates consistent demand for machinery transport services. Construction companies working these projects require transport providers who can navigate both established neighborhoods and active construction zones without delays or complications.
We handle all permit coordination, route planning, and regulatory compliance to ensure your heavy equipment arrives safely, on schedule, and ready to work on your Halfmoon project.
We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment including excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, compact track loaders, wheel loaders, and specialized machinery. Our transport capabilities handle machines ranging from small compact units under 10,000 pounds to large construction equipment exceeding 80,000 pounds.
Each piece of equipment requires specific loading techniques, securing methods, and transport considerations based on its dimensions, weight distribution, and center of gravity. We evaluate your machinery’s specifications to determine the optimal transport approach, including trailer selection and securing methods.
Whether you’re moving equipment between active job sites in Halfmoon’s growing residential areas or bringing new machinery to commercial projects along Route 9, we have the specialized equipment and expertise to handle the transport safely and efficiently.
Equipment safety begins with proper loading using specialized ramps, winches, and positioning equipment designed for heavy machinery. We secure each machine with appropriate tie-down chains, straps, and protective materials specifically rated for its weight and configuration requirements.
Route planning considers road surface conditions, bridge weight restrictions, overhead clearances, and potential hazards that could affect transport safety. We avoid routes with sharp turns, steep grades, or road conditions that could cause equipment shifting during transport.
Our drivers maintain extensive experience transporting heavy equipment and understand how different machines behave during transport, including weight distribution changes and securing point requirements. Regular maintenance and inspection of our transport equipment ensures we meet all safety standards required for heavy machinery transport.
Permit requirements depend on equipment dimensions, total transport weight, and specific route characteristics. Oversize loads exceeding 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 65 feet long require permits from New York State DOT, while overweight loads exceeding 80,000 pounds need additional documentation and route approval.
We handle all permit applications, coordinate with state and local authorities, and ensure full compliance with transportation regulations. This includes determining police escort requirements, approved travel times, and any route restrictions that apply to your specific equipment transport.
Our experience with Halfmoon area regulations and relationships with local authorities streamlines the permit process and prevents delays. This ensures your equipment transport stays on schedule while maintaining full compliance with all applicable state and local transportation regulations.
Heavy equipment moving costs vary based on equipment size, weight, transport distance, and special handling requirements. Local moves within Halfmoon and surrounding areas typically range from $500 to $2,500, while longer distances or oversized equipment may require additional fees.
Factors affecting pricing include permit costs, police escort requirements, route restrictions, and loading complexity. Equipment requiring special protective measures, multiple-piece disassembly, or challenging site access may have additional charges based on time and complexity involved.
We provide detailed written estimates that itemize all costs including transport, permits, escorts, and additional services required. This transparent pricing approach ensures you understand exactly what you’re paying for, with no surprise charges or hidden fees that can derail your project budget.
We recommend scheduling heavy equipment moves at least 5-7 business days in advance, particularly for oversized loads requiring permits or police escorts. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment, challenging routes, or specialized handling may need 10-14 days advance notice.
Permit processing through New York State DOT typically takes 3-5 business days, while overweight permits or routes requiring special approval may need additional time. Weather conditions, seasonal weight restrictions, and local construction activity can also affect scheduling availability.
Emergency or expedited moves are possible depending on equipment availability, permit requirements, and route conditions. However, advance scheduling ensures optimal routing, competitive pricing, and coordination with your project timeline for the most efficient heavy equipment transport service.
