Your equipment gets there in the same condition it left, and you get updates along the way so you’re never wondering where your investment is.

This isn’t about cheap transport—it’s about getting your equipment where it needs to be, when it needs to be there, without the drama.

Equipment Moving Process North Bolton

Straightforward Process, Professional Execution

First, we size up your equipment and destination. Dimensions, weight, route challenges—everything that affects which trailer we use and what permits we need. No guesswork here.

Next, we handle the paperwork. Oversize permits, route approvals, escort requirements if needed. You don’t have to navigate New York’s DOT requirements or figure out which bridges your equipment can clear. We’ve done this before.

Then we show up with the right trailer for your equipment. Lowboy for tall machinery, RGN with detachable gooseneck for easy drive-on loading, or Landoll with hydraulic tilt for ground-level access. Your equipment gets secured properly and transported by someone who knows what they’re doing.

You get updates during transport and a call when we arrive. Simple as that.

Specialized Trailer Services North Bolton

The Right Trailer for Every Job

We run lowboy trailers for equipment that needs maximum clearance under bridges and overpasses. The low deck height keeps tall equipment legal and eliminates permit headaches on standard routes.

Our RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers let your equipment drive right on—no ramps, no cranes, no complicated loading. The front detaches and drops to ground level, creating a natural ramp that works for excavators, bulldozers, and other tracked equipment.

For the really tricky stuff, we’ve got Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt systems. These handle the awkward loads and provide ground-level loading from the rear. Perfect for equipment that can’t handle steep angles or needs precise positioning.

Long Island’s toll roads and traffic patterns require local knowledge. We know which routes work for oversize loads, which times of day to avoid, and how to keep your transport costs reasonable while staying legal and safe.

What's the difference between lowboy and RGN trailers for equipment moving?

Lowboy trailers sit extremely low to the ground with a fixed gooseneck, making them ideal for tall equipment that needs maximum clearance under bridges. They’re perfect for cranes, tall excavators, and other equipment where height is the main concern.

RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers have a detachable front section that drops to create a ramp. This makes loading much easier for tracked equipment like bulldozers and excavators that can drive directly onto the trailer. You don’t need separate ramps or loading equipment.

Both handle heavy loads well, but the choice depends on your equipment’s dimensions and how it needs to be loaded. We’ll recommend the right trailer based on what you’re moving and where it’s going.

New York has specific dimensional limits, and anything exceeding those requires oversize permits. We handle all the paperwork, route approvals, and coordination with local authorities so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy.

For Long Island routes, we factor in bridge heights, weight restrictions, and toll costs that can significantly impact your transport budget. Some routes require night transport to avoid heavy traffic, and certain areas need police escorts for oversize loads.

We survey routes in advance and work with DOT officials to ensure smooth transport. The permit process can take several days, so we build that timeline into your transport schedule. You get legal transport without the hassle of dealing with multiple agencies yourself.

We handle excavators, bulldozers, cranes, loaders, compactors, pavers, and other heavy construction equipment. Our lowboy trailers work well for tall equipment, while RGN trailers are perfect for tracked machines that can drive on and off.

Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt systems handle the challenging stuff—equipment with low ground clearance, wide loads, or anything that needs precise loading angles. These are especially useful for scissor lifts, forklifts, and equipment that can’t handle steep ramps.

Weight capacity depends on the specific trailer and axle configuration, but we regularly transport equipment ranging from 20,000 to 80,000 pounds. If it’s construction equipment and it fits within legal weight limits, we can move it safely and legally.

Transport costs depend on equipment size, weight, distance, and route complexity. Long Island’s toll roads add significant expense compared to other areas, and oversize permits increase costs for loads exceeding standard dimensions.

Local moves within the North Bolton area typically cost less than long-distance transport, but bridge restrictions and traffic patterns can affect routing and timing. Night transport sometimes costs more but may be required for oversize loads.

We provide transparent quotes that include all costs—transport, permits, escorts if needed, and any special handling requirements. No hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we move your equipment.

Yes, we handle loading and unloading as part of our transport service. Our RGN trailers make this straightforward for tracked equipment—the gooseneck detaches and creates a ramp for drive-on, drive-off loading.

For equipment that can’t move under its own power, we coordinate with crane services or use our Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt systems for ground-level loading. We work with your schedule and site conditions to make loading and unloading as smooth as possible.

We also ensure adequate space at both pickup and delivery locations for our trailers to maneuver safely. Large trailers need room to position properly, and we’ll let you know about any site access requirements before transport day.

For standard equipment moves within the local area, we typically need 2-3 days notice to ensure proper trailer availability and scheduling. Oversize loads requiring permits need more lead time—usually 5-7 days to handle the paperwork and route approvals.

Complex moves involving multiple pieces of equipment, long distances, or special handling requirements may need even more advance scheduling. Peak construction season (spring through fall) gets busy, so earlier scheduling helps ensure we can accommodate your timeline.

Emergency moves are sometimes possible, but they’re more expensive and depend on trailer availability and permit requirements. For planned equipment relocations or project moves, calling us a week ahead gives you the best scheduling flexibility and pricing.
