When your construction equipment needs to move, you need it done right the first time. No damaged machinery sitting on the side of the road. No surprise delays that throw your entire project timeline off track.
You get professional lowboy trailer transport that treats your equipment like the expensive investment it is. RGN trailers for ground loading. Landoll trailers for specialized machinery. Hydraulic tilt trailers that handle your tallest equipment without the headaches of height restrictions.
Your equipment moves when you need it moved, arrives in the same condition it left, and keeps your project moving forward exactly as planned.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving equipment through the North Creek area for over two decades. What started as a logging operation in 1997 became full-time excavation and equipment transport services by 2020.
Josh and his son run this family operation with one simple approach: we’re present on almost every job to make sure things get done right. No subcontractors who don’t know your equipment. No mystery about who’s handling your machinery.
We understand Warren County’s terrain, local regulations, and exactly what it takes to move heavy equipment safely through the Adirondack region. When you work with Emerson, you’re working with people who’ve been navigating these roads and handling this type of equipment longer than most companies have been in business.
First, you call and describe what needs moving, where it’s going, and when you need it there. Josh evaluates your equipment, determines the right trailer type, and handles all permit requirements upfront.
Next, our team arrives with the appropriate lowboy, RGN, or Landoll trailer for your specific equipment. We handle the loading with hydraulic systems and proper securing techniques that protect your machinery during transport.
Finally, your equipment gets delivered exactly where you need it, when you need it there. You get updates throughout the process, so you always know where your equipment stands. No surprises, no delays, no damaged machinery showing up at your job site.

You get access to multiple trailer types designed for different equipment needs. Lowboy trailers handle standard construction machinery, bulldozers, and excavators. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers provide ground loading capabilities for equipment that can’t use ramps.
Landoll trailers with sliding axles accommodate specialized machinery and provide hydraulic tilt functionality. For oversize loads heading to Long Island or other distant locations, we handle all route planning, permits, and escort requirements.
North Creek’s location in the Adirondacks presents unique transport challenges with mountain terrain, seasonal weather conditions, and specific DOT regulations. Our local expertise means we know which routes work best for different types of equipment, which permits you’ll need, and how to navigate Warren County’s specific requirements without delays or complications.
We use lowboy trailers for standard heavy equipment like excavators and bulldozers, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for ground loading capabilities, and Landoll trailers with sliding axles and hydraulic tilt functions for specialized equipment needs.
Each trailer type serves specific equipment requirements. Lowboy trailers work best for most construction machinery because of their low deck height, which keeps tall equipment under DOT height restrictions. RGN trailers let us load equipment that can’t use ramps by removing the gooseneck section. Landoll trailers handle unique situations where you need hydraulic tilt or sliding axle positioning.
We select the right trailer based on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements, not just what’s convenient for us.
We handle all permit applications and regulatory compliance as part of our service. This includes DOT permits, route restrictions, and any escort vehicle requirements for oversize loads.
Warren County and New York State have specific regulations for heavy equipment transport, especially through the Adirondack region. We know which routes require special permits, what weight limits apply to different roads, and how to coordinate with local authorities when necessary.
You don’t need to worry about permit paperwork or compliance issues. We take care of the regulatory side so you can focus on your project while knowing your equipment transport is completely legal and properly documented.
We’re local to North Creek and understand the specific challenges of moving equipment through the Adirondack region. National companies often subcontract to local operators who may not have the same level of experience or equipment knowledge.
Josh or his son is present on almost every job, so you’re dealing directly with the business owners, not dispatchers who’ve never seen your equipment. We know Warren County’s roads, seasonal restrictions, and local regulations that can trip up outside companies.
Our equipment is maintained locally and we have backup plans when weather or road conditions change. National companies might leave you waiting for days if their subcontractor has problems, but we’re right here and can adjust quickly to keep your project moving.
We use proper securing techniques with heavy-duty straps, chains, and tie-downs rated for your equipment’s weight and dimensions. All equipment gets positioned and secured according to DOT requirements and manufacturer specifications.
Our trailers have hydraulic loading systems that eliminate the need for driving equipment onto trailers under its own power, which reduces the risk of damage during loading. We also inspect equipment before and after transport to document its condition.
For sensitive or high-value equipment, we can provide additional protective measures like custom blocking, extra padding, or specialized securing methods. The goal is making sure your equipment arrives in exactly the same condition it left, without scratches, dents, or mechanical damage from improper handling.
We serve North Creek, Warren County, and the broader Adirondack region as our primary service area. We also handle longer-distance transport to locations like Long Island when projects require specialized equipment moving.
Our local expertise covers Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties, where we understand the terrain, seasonal road conditions, and local regulations. For longer hauls, we coordinate with our network to ensure your equipment gets professional handling throughout the entire transport.
Distance isn’t usually the limiting factor – it’s more about matching the right equipment and expertise to your specific transport needs. We’ll let you know upfront if your destination is outside our service area or if we need to coordinate with other specialists to complete your transport safely.
For standard equipment moves within our local service area, we can often accommodate requests with 24-48 hours notice, depending on our current schedule and equipment availability.
Oversize loads requiring permits and route planning typically need 3-5 business days advance notice to handle the regulatory requirements properly. Long-distance transport or specialized equipment may require additional planning time.
During busy construction seasons (spring through fall), booking a week in advance ensures you get the exact dates you need. We recommend calling as soon as you know your equipment needs to move, even if the date isn’t finalized yet. This lets us reserve capacity and start permit paperwork if needed, then adjust timing as your project schedule becomes clearer.
