Our equipment moving services cover everything from construction machinery to agricultural equipment and industrial tools. We have lowboy trailers for tall loads, RGN trailers with removable goosenecks for easy loading, and Landoll trailers for versatile transport needs.
Mechanicville’s location in the Capital Region means dealing with varied terrain and specific route requirements. We understand local conditions, from navigating tight residential areas to handling highway transport regulations.
Whether you’re moving a single excavator or multiple pieces of equipment, we provide the specialized trailers and professional handling your investment deserves. Licensed, insured, and equipped to handle oversize loads safely and legally.
We use several specialized trailer types depending on your equipment’s size and loading requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because the low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and overpasses.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ramp for ground loading. This is ideal for equipment that can drive on and off, like tractors and self-propelled machinery.
Landoll trailers offer hydraulic tilt capabilities and sliding axles for versatile loading options. We select the right trailer based on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and how it needs to be loaded and unloaded.
Yes, we handle permit applications and ensure compliance with New York DOT regulations. Oversize equipment transport requires specific permits based on dimensions and weight, and the requirements vary by route and time of transport.
New York has restrictions on when oversize loads can travel, typically from half-hour before sunrise until half-hour after sunset on weekdays, with Saturday transport ending at noon. No oversize transport is allowed on Sundays or major holidays.
We plan routes to avoid restricted areas and coordinate with authorities when escort vehicles are required. This ensures your equipment transport stays legal and avoids costly delays or violations.
Equipment transport costs depend on several factors including equipment size, weight, distance, and any special handling requirements. Local moves within the Capital Region typically cost less than long-distance transport, but oversize permits and escort requirements can affect pricing.
We provide detailed estimates that include all costs upfront – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Factors like trailer type, permit requirements, and route complexity are all considered in your quote.
The best approach is getting a specific estimate based on your equipment and destination. We’ll assess your transport needs and provide transparent pricing so you can budget accurately for your project.
Yes, we regularly deliver equipment to construction sites with challenging access conditions. This includes tight residential areas, sites with overhead restrictions, and locations where maneuvering large trailers requires careful planning.
We survey delivery sites beforehand when possible to identify potential access issues. This includes checking for overhead wires, narrow gates, soft ground conditions, or steep grades that might affect delivery.
When standard access isn’t possible, we coordinate alternative solutions like meeting at a more accessible location or using different equipment for the final positioning. Our goal is getting your equipment where it needs to be safely and efficiently.
Equipment transport safety starts with proper loading and securement using chains, straps, and blocking appropriate for your equipment’s weight and configuration. We follow DOT regulations for load securement and use only equipment rated for the loads we’re carrying.
Our drivers are experienced with oversize loads and understand the handling characteristics of loaded lowboy trailers. Pre-trip inspections ensure trailers and securement equipment are in proper working condition.
When required, we coordinate escort vehicles and follow prescribed routes for oversize loads. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and document the transport process to ensure accountability throughout the move.
For local equipment moves within the Capital Region, we can often accommodate requests with 2-3 days notice, depending on our schedule and any permit requirements. Oversize loads requiring permits typically need more lead time for permit processing.
Long-distance transport or moves requiring special routing may need a week or more advance notice. Peak construction season (spring through fall) tends to be busier, so earlier scheduling helps ensure availability.
The best approach is contacting us as soon as you know your equipment needs to be moved. We’ll let you know what’s realistic for your timeline and handle the planning to keep your project on schedule.
