Your excavator shows up undamaged and ready for the job site. No scratches from amateur handling, no delays from broken-down equipment, no surprise fees that blow your budget.
That’s what happens when you work with operators who understand that your equipment is your livelihood. We handle lowboy trailer transport, RGN hauling, and Landoll trailer services throughout Hartman and the Capital Region with the same care we’d want for our own machinery.
Your project timeline stays on track because we show up when we say we will. Your equipment stays protected because we use proper tie-downs and professional loading techniques. Your costs stay predictable because we give you honest pricing upfront.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving equipment throughout Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties since 1997. We know the back roads, the bridge clearances, and the local regulations that can make or break your equipment transport.
Josh and our team understand construction timelines because we live them every day. When your excavator needs to move from one job site to another, or your new skid steer needs transport from the dealer, we handle it like it’s our own equipment.
We’re not a fly-by-night operation. Our trucks are based right here in the area, our operators live in these communities, and our reputation depends on doing right by local contractors and property owners.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment that needs low clearance. RGN trailers with removable goosenecks make loading easier for wheeled equipment. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt beds handle specialized loading situations.
Next, we plan the route and secure necessary permits. New York has specific regulations for oversize loads, and we handle all the paperwork so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues or surprise stops.
On moving day, our operators arrive with properly maintained equipment and professional tie-down systems. We load your equipment carefully, transport it safely, and deliver it ready to work. You get real-time updates throughout the process so you always know where your equipment stands.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact skid steers to full-size excavators and bulldozers. We handle both local moves within the Capital Region and long-distance transport throughout New York and neighboring states.
Lowboy trailer services work perfectly for construction equipment that exceeds standard height limits. The low deck design keeps tall equipment within legal transport height while providing stable, secure transport. RGN trailer hauling offers easy loading through the removable gooseneck feature, ideal for wheeled equipment that can drive on and off.
Landoll trailer transport provides hydraulic tilt capabilities for specialized loading situations. This works especially well for equipment that’s difficult to load with traditional methods. Ground loading trailer services eliminate the need for ramps or loading docks, making pickup and delivery more flexible.
We use lowboy trailers, RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers, and Landoll trailers depending on your equipment’s specific requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because the low deck height keeps the total transport height within legal limits.
RGN trailers feature detachable front sections that create loading ramps, making them ideal for wheeled equipment that can drive on and off. Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt bed capabilities for specialized loading situations where traditional methods won’t work.
Our operators assess each piece of equipment and recommend the most appropriate trailer type based on dimensions, weight, and loading requirements. This ensures safe transport and compliance with New York DOT regulations.
We handle all permit requirements for oversize equipment transport in New York. The state Department of Transportation issues permits for loads that exceed standard dimensions, and we manage this entire process for you.
New York allows oversize transport from half-hour before sunrise until half-hour after sunset on weekdays, with restrictions on Saturdays and no transport on Sundays or major holidays. Permits are typically valid for five days in most areas, though New York City has more restrictive timing requirements.
We plan routes carefully to avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and other obstacles that could cause delays or require special routing. Our experience with local regulations means your equipment moves legally and safely without compliance issues.
Our equipment moving pricing includes professional loading and unloading, proper tie-down and securing, all necessary permits, and door-to-door transport service. You get transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees for fuel, equipment usage, or multiple passes.
The cost covers our specialized trailers, experienced operators, comprehensive insurance coverage, and real-time communication throughout the transport process. If your equipment requires escort vehicles or pilot cars due to size restrictions, we handle those arrangements and include associated costs in your quote.
Additional services like crane assistance for loading extremely heavy equipment or storage during transport delays are discussed separately and only added with your approval. We believe in honest pricing so you can budget accurately for your equipment moves.
For urgent equipment moves, we often provide same-day or next-day service depending on trailer availability and permit requirements. Local moves within the Capital Region typically have the fastest turnaround since they may not require special permits.
Longer distance moves or oversize loads that need permits take additional time for proper planning and regulatory compliance. However, our local presence and owned equipment fleet means we can respond faster than companies that rely on subcontractors or rental equipment.
We prioritize emergency situations where equipment breakdown or unexpected project changes create urgent transport needs. Our operators understand that construction delays cost money, so we work to minimize downtime and keep your projects moving forward.
Yes, we carry comprehensive insurance coverage for equipment transport, including liability and cargo coverage that protects your equipment during loading, transport, and unloading. Our insurance meets or exceeds New York state requirements for commercial heavy haul operations.
We provide certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins so you have proof of coverage for your records. This protects both your equipment investment and gives you peace of mind throughout the transport process.
In the unlikely event of damage during transport, we handle insurance claims promptly and professionally. Our goal is to ensure your equipment arrives in the same condition it left, but comprehensive coverage provides additional protection for your valuable machinery.
We provide equipment moving services throughout Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties, with Hartman being central to our service area. Our local knowledge of roads, bridges, and regulations in the Capital Region ensures efficient routing and compliance.
We also handle longer distance transport throughout New York state and neighboring areas when projects require equipment moves beyond our immediate service region. Our network of qualified carriers extends our reach while maintaining the same quality standards.
For local contractors and property owners, our proximity means faster response times and more flexible scheduling. We understand the local construction market and can work around busy seasons, weather conditions, and other factors that affect equipment transport timing in this area.
