When your equipment arrives safely and on time, everything else falls into place. No surprise fees, no permit headaches, no wondering if your excavator will show up damaged.
You get transparent pricing before work starts. Your machinery gets handled by operators who’ve been moving heavy equipment for decades, not last week’s new hire.
The permits get pulled correctly. The route gets planned properly. Your equipment arrives ready to work, and your project timeline stays intact.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving North Bolton and the greater Capital Region since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and heavy equipment services when we saw what the area really needed.
This is a family business where Josh is on almost every job. Not because we don’t trust our crew, but because that’s how you build the kind of relationships that last decades.
We own our equipment. We know these roads. We understand upstate New York’s terrain, weather, and regulations better than companies trucking in from three states away.
First, we assess your equipment and transport needs. Weight, dimensions, pickup location, destination, and timeline all factor into the plan.
Next, we handle permits and route planning. Different equipment requires different approaches, and we match the right trailer and transport method to your specific machinery.
Then we execute the move with proper securement, experienced operators, and communication throughout. You know when we’re picking up, when we’re en route, and when delivery is complete.

Our heavy equipment moving services cover excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, compactors, and specialized construction machinery throughout North Bolton and surrounding areas. We handle both local moves and long-distance transport.
The Capital Region’s terrain presents unique challenges that out-of-area companies often underestimate. Rocky soil conditions, narrow rural roads, and seasonal weather patterns all impact transport planning. Our local knowledge prevents the delays and complications that catch other operators off guard.
We maintain relationships with crane operators, rigging specialists, and permit offices throughout Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. This network ensures smooth coordination when your move requires additional services or special handling.
Heavy equipment transport permits in New York depend on your machinery’s weight and dimensions. Standard equipment under 80,000 pounds and within legal width limits typically doesn’t require special permits.
Oversized loads exceeding 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet high, or 65 feet long need oversize permits from the New York State Department of Transportation. Super loads over 150,000 pounds require additional engineering analysis and route studies.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities when escorts are required. The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days, which we factor into your transport timeline to avoid delays.
Heavy equipment moving costs in North Bolton typically range from $2.50 to $4.00 per mile, depending on equipment size, weight, and transport complexity. Local moves under 50 miles often have minimum charges of $800-1,200.
Factors affecting cost include trailer type needed, permit requirements, escort vehicles, and seasonal demand. Specialized equipment like lowboy trailers for tall machinery or multi-axle trailers for heavy loads increase transport costs.
We provide upfront pricing with all costs included – no surprise fees for permits, fuel surcharges, or equipment positioning. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start moving your equipment.
We transport all types of construction and agricultural equipment including excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, compactors, generators, and specialized machinery. Our fleet includes flatbed trailers, step decks, and lowboy trailers to handle different equipment profiles.
Equipment weight capacity ranges from small utility machines up to 150,000+ pound loads requiring specialized multi-axle trailers. We also handle tracked equipment, wheeled machinery, and attachments like buckets, hammers, and augers.
Each piece of equipment gets evaluated individually for proper securement, weight distribution, and transport method. We match the right trailer configuration to your specific machinery to ensure safe, efficient transport.
Equipment safety starts with proper assessment and securement planning before loading. We inspect each piece of machinery, document existing conditions, and develop securement strategies based on equipment specifications and transport route.
Our operators use appropriate tie-down methods, weight distribution techniques, and protective measures to prevent shifting or damage during transport. All securement hardware meets or exceeds DOT requirements for load restraint.
We carry comprehensive insurance coverage including cargo protection and liability coverage. Regular safety inspections during transport ensure securement remains proper throughout the journey, and we communicate any issues immediately.
We serve North Bolton and the broader Capital Region including Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. Our service area extends throughout upstate New York with regular routes to Albany, Glens Falls, and surrounding communities.
For long-distance moves, we coordinate transport throughout the Northeast and can arrange nationwide shipping through our carrier network. Local knowledge gives us advantages in route planning and regulatory compliance within our primary service area.
Rural locations and challenging access sites are our specialties – we understand the back roads, seasonal restrictions, and local conditions that impact heavy equipment transport in this region.
Local equipment moves within 50 miles can often be scheduled with 2-3 days notice, depending on equipment availability and permit requirements. Oversized loads requiring special permits need 5-7 business days minimum for proper authorization.
Long-distance transport and complex moves requiring route surveys or special handling should be scheduled 1-2 weeks in advance. Peak construction season (April through October) requires earlier booking due to increased demand.
We recommend calling as soon as you know your transport needs. Early scheduling allows proper planning, permit processing, and coordination with your project timeline to prevent delays.
