When your expensive machinery needs to move, you can’t afford mistakes. Our heavy equipment transport service eliminates the stress and risk of relocating valuable equipment.
You get professional rigging, specialized transport vehicles, and comprehensive insurance protection. Your equipment arrives at its destination in the same condition it left, ready to get back to work immediately.
No more worrying about damage, delays, or regulatory compliance issues. We handle the permits, route planning, and safety protocols so you can focus on running your business instead of managing a complex move.
We’ve been serving Knowelhurst and the greater Capital Region since 1997. We understand the unique challenges of moving heavy equipment through New York’s terrain and regulatory environment.
Josh personally oversees our equipment moving operations, bringing decades of hands-on experience to every job. Our team knows the difference between careful transport and rushed delivery – and your equipment deserves the careful approach.
We’ve built our reputation one successful move at a time throughout Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. When local contractors and businesses need reliable machinery transport, they call us because we finish what we start.
Every equipment move starts with a detailed assessment of your machinery and destination requirements. We evaluate weight, dimensions, access routes, and any special handling needs before developing a customized transport plan.
Our team handles all permit applications and regulatory compliance for oversized loads. We coordinate with utility companies when necessary and plan the safest, most efficient route to your destination.
On moving day, our certified operators use specialized rigging equipment to safely load your machinery onto appropriate transport vehicles. We secure everything according to DOT standards and provide real-time updates throughout the transport process. Upon arrival, we carefully unload and position your equipment exactly where you need it.

Our machinery transport services cover everything from compact excavators to large industrial equipment throughout the Knowelhurst area. We handle construction equipment, farm machinery, manufacturing equipment, and specialized industrial apparatus.
Knowelhurst’s location in the Capital Region means dealing with varying terrain, from flat agricultural areas to hilly sections that require careful route planning. Our local knowledge prevents surprises and ensures smooth transport through challenging areas.
We coordinate with area quarries, construction sites, and industrial facilities regularly, so we understand the access requirements and timing constraints common to local businesses. Whether you’re moving equipment to a job site or relocating machinery for maintenance, we adapt our service to your specific operational needs.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s dimensions and weight. In New York, loads exceeding 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or standard width/length limits require oversize permits from the state Department of Transportation.
We handle all permit applications as part of our service, including coordination with local authorities when routes pass through municipal areas. Our team knows which loads need escort vehicles and which routes have restrictions for oversized transport.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days, which we factor into your project timeline. We also ensure compliance with New York’s holiday restrictions, which prohibit oversize load movements on Sundays and major holidays.
Equipment protection starts with proper rigging and securing techniques specific to each type of machinery. We use appropriate tie-down points, protective padding, and weatherproof covering to prevent damage from road conditions and weather.
Our transport vehicles are regularly maintained and equipped with air-ride suspension systems that minimize vibration and shock during transport. We also conduct pre-transport inspections and document equipment condition with photos before loading.
For sensitive equipment, we can provide climate-controlled transport and additional protective measures. Our comprehensive insurance coverage protects against the unlikely event of damage, but our primary focus is prevention through proper handling and transport techniques.
We transport all types of construction and industrial equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, loaders, cranes, farm tractors, manufacturing machinery, and specialized industrial equipment. Our fleet can handle equipment weighing from a few thousand pounds to over 80,000 pounds.
Each type of equipment requires specific rigging and transport considerations. Construction equipment often needs careful attention to hydraulic systems and attachments, while manufacturing equipment may require climate control and vibration protection.
We also coordinate multi-piece moves for equipment that requires disassembly, working with manufacturers’ representatives when necessary. Our experience with diverse equipment types means we understand the specific requirements for safe transport of your particular machinery.
For standard equipment moves within the Capital Region, we recommend scheduling at least one week in advance. This allows time for permit processing, route planning, and coordination with any required escort services.
Oversized or overweight loads requiring special permits may need 2-3 weeks advance notice, especially during busy construction seasons. Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment or challenging access situations benefit from even more planning time.
We do accommodate emergency equipment moves when possible, though this may involve expedited permit fees and limited scheduling options. For planned relocations or scheduled maintenance moves, early scheduling ensures you get your preferred dates and optimal pricing.
We carry comprehensive commercial liability insurance and cargo insurance that covers the full replacement value of your equipment during transport. Our insurance meets all New York state requirements and exceeds industry standards for heavy equipment moving.
Coverage includes protection against damage from accidents, weather, theft, and other unforeseen circumstances during loading, transport, and unloading. We provide certificates of insurance upon request and can add additional insured parties when required by contracts.
Our insurance coverage is backed by A-rated carriers and includes both primary and excess coverage layers. This means you have complete protection without gaps or limitations that might leave you exposed to financial risk during the transport process.
Yes, we specialize in construction site deliveries and understand the unique challenges of job site access and coordination. We work directly with project managers and site supervisors to schedule deliveries that align with construction timelines.
Construction sites often have limited access, soft ground conditions, and coordination requirements with other trades. We plan delivery routes that account for site conditions and can arrange for additional ground protection or access improvements when needed.
We also coordinate with site security, gate access, and any required safety briefings or site-specific protocols. Our drivers are experienced with construction environments and understand the importance of following site safety rules and working around active construction operations.
