We’ve been serving Rockhurst and the surrounding New York area since 1997. We understand the local roads, traffic patterns, and permit requirements that affect equipment transport in this region.
As a family business, we take personal responsibility for every piece of equipment we move. Josh is present on nearly every job to ensure your machinery receives the careful handling it deserves. We’ve built our reputation by treating your equipment like our own.
Our transition from logging to full-service excavation and equipment transport means we understand construction equipment from the operator’s perspective. We know what it takes to keep your project moving and what happens when equipment transport goes wrong.
First, we assess your equipment’s specifications and transport requirements. Weight, dimensions, and any special handling needs determine which trailer type works best for your move. We handle permit applications and route planning to avoid delays.
Next, we arrive with the appropriate lowboy, RGN, or specialized trailer for your equipment. Our operators use professional loading techniques and proper securing methods to protect your machinery during transport. Everything gets double-checked before we leave your site.
During transport, we maintain communication about progress and any route adjustments. Your equipment travels on approved routes with proper escort vehicles when required. Upon arrival, we carefully unload and position your equipment exactly where you need it.

Our equipment moving service includes lowboy trailer transport for standard heavy machinery, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for equipment requiring ground-level loading, and hydraulic tilt trailers for specialized applications. We match the right trailer to your specific equipment and site conditions.
Rockhurst’s construction industry relies on timely equipment delivery to maintain project schedules. Local soil conditions often require specialized machinery that needs professional transport between job sites. Our service covers everything from compact excavators to large bulldozers and custom equipment.
We handle all permit requirements, route surveys, and escort coordination for oversized loads. New York’s regulations for heavy equipment transport can be complex, but we navigate the requirements so your equipment moves legally and safely. Your transport includes proper insurance coverage and liability protection throughout the entire process.
We use lowboy trailers for most heavy construction equipment because the low deck height accommodates tall machinery while staying within legal height limits. These trailers handle excavators, bulldozers, and similar equipment up to 80,000 pounds.
For equipment that’s difficult to drive up ramps, we use RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers. The front section detaches, creating a ground-level loading surface that’s perfect for equipment with limited mobility or low ground clearance.
Specialized applications might require hydraulic tilt trailers or sliding axle configurations. We assess your specific equipment and site conditions to determine which trailer type provides the safest, most efficient transport solution.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities for oversized load transport. New York requires specific permits for equipment that exceeds standard width, height, or weight limits, and the requirements vary by route and equipment size.
Our experience with Rockhurst area transport means we know which routes work best for different equipment types. We plan routes that avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and areas where oversized loads aren’t permitted during certain hours.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days for standard oversized loads. We factor this timing into your transport schedule so equipment arrives when you need it, not when permits finally get approved.
Our transport service includes comprehensive insurance coverage that protects your equipment throughout the entire move. We carry liability insurance specifically designed for heavy equipment transport, and we can provide certificates of insurance before transport begins.
Prevention is our priority. We use proper loading techniques, professional securing methods, and experienced drivers who understand how to transport heavy machinery safely. Every piece of equipment gets inspected before loading and after unloading to document its condition.
If damage does occur, we handle the claims process directly with our insurance carrier. You won’t need to fight with insurance companies or wait months for resolution. Our goal is getting your equipment back in service as quickly as possible.
For standard equipment moves within the Rockhurst area, we typically need 2-3 days notice to coordinate scheduling and any required permits. This gives us time to plan the most efficient route and ensure we have the right trailer available for your equipment.
Oversized loads or equipment requiring special permits need more advance notice, usually 5-7 days. Permit processing times and route coordination for larger equipment can’t be rushed without creating safety or legal compliance issues.
Emergency equipment moves are possible when breakdowns occur or project schedules change unexpectedly. We maintain equipment availability for urgent situations, though emergency transport may involve additional coordination costs.
Yes, we work with contractors of all sizes, from large commercial operations to individual homeowners who need equipment moved for personal projects. Equipment transport costs are based on distance, equipment size, and permit requirements, not the size of your business.
Small contractors often need reliable equipment transport more than large companies because they can’t afford project delays. We understand that your single excavator or skid steer is just as important to your operation as a fleet of equipment is to a larger contractor.
Homeowners building custom homes or handling major landscaping projects also need professional equipment transport. We’ve moved everything from compact excavators for pool installation to large bulldozers for land clearing projects.
We provide equipment moving services throughout Rockhurst and the surrounding New York region. Our service area includes Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties, with transport capabilities extending throughout the northeastern United States when needed.
Local knowledge makes a significant difference in equipment transport. We understand Rockhurst’s road conditions, seasonal weight restrictions, and local permit requirements. This familiarity helps us plan efficient routes and avoid delays that unfamiliar transport companies might encounter.
For longer distance moves, we coordinate with trusted partners who maintain our standards for professional equipment handling. Whether your equipment needs to move across town or across the country, we ensure it receives proper care throughout the entire transport process.
