Equipment Moving Services Hudson Falls Area

Complete Heavy Equipment Transport Solutions

Our equipment moving services cover everything from compact excavators to massive bulldozers and specialized construction machinery. We handle lowboy trailer transport, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) hauling, Landoll trailer services, and hydraulic tilt trailer moving for equipment that requires ground loading.

Hudson Falls’ challenging terrain and seasonal weather conditions require local knowledge that comes from years of experience in the area. We understand which routes work best for oversized loads and how to navigate the weight restrictions on local bridges and secondary roads.

Every transport includes comprehensive insurance coverage, proper permitting for oversized loads, and DOT-compliant securing methods. Whether you’re moving equipment between job sites or transporting newly purchased machinery, we ensure your investment arrives safely and on schedule.

What types of trailers do you use for heavy equipment transport?

We maintain a fleet of specialized trailers designed for different equipment types and transport needs. Our lowboy trailers handle tall equipment that needs to stay within height restrictions, while our RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers provide easy loading for tracked equipment like excavators and bulldozers.

For equipment that requires ground-level loading, we use Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt capabilities. Step deck trailers work well for equipment with moderate height requirements, and our flatbed trailers handle smaller machinery and attachments.

The right trailer choice depends on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements. During our initial consultation, we assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate trailer to ensure safe, efficient transport.

Oversized load permits are required when equipment exceeds standard legal dimensions – typically over 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 80,000 pounds gross weight. We handle the entire permit process, including route surveys and coordination with local authorities when necessary.

In New York, oversized loads can only travel during specific hours – generally from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset on weekdays. We plan your transport schedule around these restrictions and any additional route limitations.

Our experience with local and state regulations ensures your equipment moves legally and safely. We maintain all required documentation and handle any escort vehicle requirements for super-sized loads, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.

Every piece of equipment gets secured using DOT-approved tie-down methods and chains rated for the specific weight and dimensions. Our drivers perform pre-transport inspections of both the equipment and trailer to identify any potential issues before hitting the road.

We use proper blocking, chaining, and strap techniques specific to each type of machinery. Tracked equipment gets additional securing points, while wheeled equipment may require tire chains or wheel chocks depending on the transport distance and conditions.

All our drivers hold commercial licenses with clean driving records and receive ongoing training in heavy haul safety protocols. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment from pickup to final delivery, giving you complete peace of mind during transport.

For standard equipment moves within our service area, we typically recommend scheduling 2-3 days in advance to ensure trailer availability and proper route planning. However, we understand construction schedules can change quickly and offer same-day service when possible.

Oversized loads requiring permits need additional lead time – usually 5-7 days – to secure proper documentation and coordinate with authorities. Super-sized loads or moves requiring escort vehicles may need even more advance notice depending on route complexity.

Emergency equipment moves can often be accommodated when breakdowns or urgent project needs arise. Our local presence in the Hudson Falls area means we can respond quickly to time-sensitive transport requirements, though advance scheduling always ensures the best service.

We primarily serve Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties, with Hudson Falls as our home base. This includes communities like Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Greenwich, Cambridge, and the surrounding rural areas where many construction projects take place.

Our drivers know every back road, seasonal weight restriction, and bridge limitation throughout the tri-county area. This local knowledge helps us plan the most efficient routes and avoid potential problems that could delay your equipment delivery.

For equipment moves outside our primary service area, we evaluate each request based on distance, equipment type, and scheduling requirements. Our goal is to provide reliable transport services wherever your project needs take you, while maintaining our standards for safety and professionalism.

Equipment protection starts with proper loading techniques using the right trailer for your specific machinery. We use protective padding on contact points, secure all hydraulic cylinders and attachments, and ensure proper weight distribution across the trailer deck.

During transport, we monitor road conditions and adjust driving techniques for weather, traffic, and route challenges. Our drivers understand that smooth, careful operation prevents damage from sudden stops, sharp turns, or rough road surfaces.

Unloading requires the same attention to detail as loading. We position equipment exactly where you need it and perform a final inspection to ensure everything arrived in perfect condition. Our comprehensive insurance coverage provides additional protection, but our careful handling means claims are extremely rare.
