Our machinery transport services cover excavators, bulldozers, compactors, skid steers, and specialized construction equipment. We handle both local moves within Saratoga County and long-distance transport throughout New York State.
Moreau’s construction market demands reliable equipment transport. Whether you’re moving machinery between job sites, transporting newly purchased equipment from dealers, or relocating equipment for seasonal storage, timing matters. Late deliveries mean idle crews and missed deadlines.
Our fleet includes properly rated trailers for different equipment types. Low-boy trailers for tall equipment, RGN trailers for extra-heavy loads, and step-deck trailers for standard machinery moves. We match the right trailer to your specific equipment requirements, ensuring safe transport and competitive pricing.
Heavy equipment transport costs in the Moreau area typically range from $3.50 to $8.00 per mile, depending on your equipment’s size, weight, and transport requirements. Local moves within Saratoga County often cost less per mile than long-distance transport.
Several factors affect your final cost: equipment dimensions, trailer type needed, permit requirements, and delivery timeline. Oversized loads requiring special permits and escort vehicles cost more than standard equipment moves. We provide transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we move your equipment.
The key is getting an accurate quote based on your specific equipment and transport needs, not generic estimates that don’t account for your machinery’s actual specifications.
New York requires oversize permits for equipment exceeding 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches high, or 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Most excavators, bulldozers, and large construction equipment require these permits.
We handle all permit applications through the New York State Department of Transportation. This includes route surveys, timing restrictions, and coordination with local authorities. Some moves require escort vehicles or are restricted to specific hours to avoid heavy traffic.
The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days, which we factor into your transport timeline. Attempting to move oversized equipment without proper permits results in significant fines and delays that cost far more than proper permitting.
Local transport within the Capital Region typically takes 1-2 days from pickup to delivery. Long-distance moves to other states generally require 3-7 days, depending on the destination and any routing restrictions for oversized loads.
Weather conditions, especially during winter months, can affect transport timelines. We monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly to ensure safe transport. Ice storms or heavy snow may delay moves by 1-2 days for safety reasons.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the transport process. Rush services are available for urgent moves, though this typically increases costs due to expedited permitting and dedicated transport scheduling.
We transport all types of construction and agricultural equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, skid steers, compactors, rollers, graders, and specialized machinery. Our fleet accommodates equipment weighing up to 150,000 pounds.
Each piece of equipment requires specific transport considerations. Track-mounted equipment needs different securement than wheeled machinery. High equipment may require removable attachments to meet height restrictions. We assess each transport individually to ensure proper handling.
Agricultural equipment transport includes tractors, combines, harvesters, and implements. We understand the seasonal nature of farming equipment moves and can accommodate tight harvest or planting schedules when timing is critical.
Yes, we carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers equipment damage during transport. Our coverage includes liability insurance and cargo insurance that protects your equipment’s full value during loading, transport, and unloading.
You should verify your equipment’s value before transport and ensure our coverage limits meet your needs. For extremely high-value equipment, additional insurance may be recommended. We provide insurance certificates upon request for your records.
Proper insurance is non-negotiable for professional equipment transport. Companies offering unusually low prices often carry minimal insurance, leaving you exposed if damage occurs. We maintain full coverage because your equipment represents a significant investment that deserves proper protection.
Remove all loose items, tools, and attachments that aren’t permanently mounted. Secure or remove anything that could shift during transport. Check fluid levels and ensure your equipment is in good mechanical condition before pickup.
Take photos of your equipment’s condition before transport, documenting any existing damage or wear. This protects both parties and provides documentation if insurance claims become necessary. Clean equipment also makes it easier to inspect for any transport-related damage upon delivery.
Provide accurate equipment specifications including weight, dimensions, and any special handling requirements. Incorrect information can delay transport or result in additional charges if we arrive with inadequate equipment for your machinery transport needs.
