This isn’t about moving the most equipment the fastest. It’s about moving your equipment safely, on time, every time. When you need RGN removable gooseneck trailer hauling or hydraulic tilt trailer moving, you’re dealing with a family business that’s been part of this community for over 25 years.

Construction Equipment Hauling Lowboy Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we evaluate your equipment and transport needs during a site visit or detailed phone consultation. Dimensions, weight, pickup and delivery locations, timeline requirements. We also identify any special handling needs or route considerations that affect the haul, especially important for oversize load transport in the North Granville area.

Next, we handle all permit requirements and route planning. New York has specific regulations for oversize loads, and we manage the paperwork so your equipment moves legally and safely through Washington County’s rural roads and seasonal weight restrictions. Our experience with local DOT requirements means no delays from permit issues.

Then we execute the transport using the right trailer for your equipment. Lowboy trailers for tall equipment that needs ground loading trailer services, RGN trailers for easy loading of tracked equipment, or sliding axle trailer transport when you need that Landoll flexibility. Your equipment gets loaded properly using our hydraulic loading systems, secured according to DOT standards, and delivered on schedule.

The job isn’t finished until your equipment is unloaded safely at your job site and you’re completely satisfied with the service. We clean up any debris and make sure your site is ready for work to continue.

Specialized Heavy Equipment Carriers

Equipment We Move Throughout Washington County

We handle everything from standard construction equipment to specialized machinery that requires custom transport solutions throughout North Granville and the broader Washington County area. Excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and agricultural equipment all move safely on our lowboy and RGN trailers. Our Landoll trailer for forklifts and scissor lifts makes loading easy for equipment that can’t handle steep ramp angles.

For overheight equipment, our low-profile equipment transport provides the clearance needed to pass under the low bridges and power lines common in rural upstate New York. Transport for high and tall equipment requires careful route planning, and our drivers know which roads work and which ones don’t around North Granville.

Washington County’s rural location means dealing with seasonal weight restrictions that can change weekly during mud season. Spring thaw creates challenges that urban transport companies don’t understand, but we’ve been navigating these conditions for decades. Our drivers know which routes stay open for heavy loads and which secondary roads to avoid when the frost comes out.

Emergency transport is available when equipment breaks down on job sites or you need to move machinery quickly to meet project deadlines. We understand that in construction, time really is money, and equipment sitting idle costs you every day.

What types of trailers do you use for heavy equipment moving in North Granville?

We use several types of specialized trailers depending on your equipment’s size and loading requirements, all specifically chosen for the conditions we encounter around North Granville and Washington County. Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment like excavators and bulldozers because the low deck height provides better clearance under the numerous low bridges on rural roads in our area.

RGN removable gooseneck trailers have a detachable front section that creates a ramp for easy loading. This works particularly well for tracked equipment that needs to be driven on rather than lifted, and it’s essential for equipment that can’t handle steep loading angles. Our Landoll trailer equipment hauling capability includes sliding axle trailers that provide extra flexibility for different load configurations.

Each trailer is rated for different weight capacities, from 40,000 pounds up to 80,000 pounds depending on the axle configuration. We match the right trailer to your specific equipment to ensure safe, legal transport that complies with both state regulations and local weight restrictions that are common on Washington County’s rural road network.

New York requires permits for loads that exceed standard legal dimensions, and we handle the entire permit process for you, including the specific route restrictions that affect transport in Washington County. The state allows oversize transport from half an hour before sunrise until half an hour after sunset on weekdays, until noon on Saturday, and not at all on Sundays or holidays.

Permit processing time varies depending on the load size and route. Standard oversize permits typically take 3-5 days, but Super Load permits for extremely large equipment can take up to two weeks. We plan ahead to avoid delays in your project timeline, especially important during busy construction season when permits take longer to process.

The permit specifies exact routes, travel times, and any escort requirements. This is particularly important around North Granville where some roads have bridge weight limits or seasonal restrictions that change the available routes. Our drivers know these local conditions and ensure compliance throughout the transport, avoiding the back roads that can’t handle heavy loads during certain times of year.

We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment from the moment we load it until it’s safely delivered to your destination, with coverage amounts that reflect the high value of modern construction equipment. This includes coverage for damage during loading, transport, and unloading operations, as well as protection against theft or weather damage during transport.

Our insurance meets all state and federal requirements for commercial carriers, and we can provide certificates of insurance for your records before transport begins. The coverage amount is sufficient to handle high-value construction equipment and specialized machinery, with limits that exceed what most general contractors carry on their own policies.

In the unlikely event of damage, we work directly with your insurance company to resolve claims quickly and professionally. Our safety record and experienced drivers mean claims are rare, but when they do occur, the process is straightforward. We document everything thoroughly and maintain detailed records of equipment condition before and after transport to ensure any claims are handled fairly and efficiently.

For standard equipment moves within Washington County and the surrounding tri-county area, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day service depending on our schedule and trailer availability. Local moves that don’t require special permits are the most flexible, especially during slower periods in late fall and early spring.

For oversize loads requiring permits, we typically need 3-5 days advance notice to secure proper permits and plan the route, particularly important around North Granville where route options can be limited by bridge restrictions and seasonal weight limits. Super loads or extremely large equipment may need up to two weeks for permit processing.

Emergency transport is available for equipment breakdowns or urgent project needs. We understand that construction schedules change, especially when weather affects project timelines or equipment fails unexpectedly. Sometimes you need equipment moved immediately to keep a project on track, and we’ll work with you to make that happen even if it means working around permit restrictions or finding alternative routes.

Yes, we provide equipment transport throughout New York State and can arrange long-distance transport to neighboring states when needed. Our drivers are familiar with interstate regulations and route restrictions for oversize loads, including the specific challenges of moving equipment from rural areas like North Granville to urban job sites.

For longer hauls, we coordinate with our network of certified carriers to ensure your equipment reaches its destination safely and on schedule. All carriers meet our strict standards for licensing, insurance, and safety records. We don’t just hand off your equipment to anyone – we work with transporters who understand the value of construction equipment and treat it accordingly.

Pricing for long-distance transport depends on the destination, equipment size, and permit requirements. We provide upfront quotes that include all costs – permits, escorts, fuel surcharges, and any special handling fees – so you can budget accurately for your project needs without worrying about surprise charges showing up later.

Weather is a constant factor in upstate New York, and we plan for it rather than hoping it cooperates. High winds, ice, or severe storms can affect transport safety, especially for tall or wide loads, and we’ll postpone the move rather than risk damage to your expensive equipment. Safety always comes first, even if it means adjusting schedules.

We monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate with you about any potential delays as soon as we’re aware of them, usually 24-48 hours in advance. This gives you time to adjust job site schedules, notify your crew, or make alternative arrangements. We understand that weather delays affect your entire project timeline, not just the transport.

Spring mud season creates unique challenges around North Granville because many rural roads have seasonal weight restrictions that can change weekly as frost comes out of the ground. We know which routes remain open for heavy loads during these periods and plan accordingly. Our local knowledge helps minimize weather-related delays throughout the year, and we’ll find alternative routes when the main roads are restricted.
