When your excavator, bulldozer, or crane needs to move, you get transport that actually works. No damage from inexperienced operators who treat your $200,000 machine like a pickup truck load.
Your equipment gets secured properly with the right straps and chains. Loaded on trailers designed for the weight and dimensions. Transported by operators who understand that construction schedules don’t have room for delays or damaged machinery.
You avoid the headaches that come with fly-by-night transport companies. No surprise charges halfway through the job. No equipment showing up three days late because the driver got lost or the trailer broke down.
We’ve been serving Round Lake and the surrounding Saratoga County area since 1997. We started as a logging operation and expanded into full-service excavation and equipment transport as the local construction market grew.
We’re the family business where Josh is on almost every job, making sure your equipment gets the care it deserves. We’ve built our reputation one transport at a time throughout three counties by understanding that your machinery represents a serious investment.
Round Lake contractors call us because we know the local roads, the permit requirements, and how to navigate the seasonal weight restrictions that can shut down other transport companies. We’re invested in this community year-round, not just when business is good.
First, you tell us what needs to move and where it’s going. We look at the equipment dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements. Most construction equipment fits our standard lowboy trailers, but oversized pieces might need RGN or specialized carriers.
Next, we handle the logistics you don’t want to deal with. Permits for oversize loads. Route planning to avoid low bridges and weight-restricted roads. Coordination with your job site schedule so the equipment arrives when you actually need it.
Finally, we load, transport, and deliver your equipment. Professional securing techniques that distribute weight properly. Experienced operators who know how to navigate tight construction sites without tearing up your property. Your equipment gets where it needs to go in the same condition it left.

You get lowboy trailer service for standard construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and skid steers. Our trailers handle equipment up to 40,000 pounds with the low deck height needed for taller machinery that won’t fit on regular flatbeds.
RGN removable gooseneck trailers work for equipment that needs ground-level loading. Hydraulic tilt trailers handle specialized pieces that require precise positioning. We match the right trailer to your specific equipment and transport requirements.
Round Lake’s construction season runs hard from spring through late fall, with equipment constantly moving between job sites. We understand the local soil conditions that affect when equipment can access certain properties, the seasonal weight restrictions on county roads, and how weather impacts transport schedules in this region.
We transport most standard construction equipment including excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, compact track loaders, dump trucks, and utility vehicles. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 40,000 pounds, while our RGN trailers can accommodate heavier machinery up to 80,000 pounds total weight.
Equipment dimensions matter more than just weight. We can transport machinery up to 12 feet tall on lowboy trailers, which works for most construction equipment. Wider loads over 8.5 feet require oversize permits, which we handle as part of the service.
If you’re not sure whether your equipment fits our transport capabilities, give us the make, model, and dimensions. We’ll tell you exactly what trailer type you need and handle all the permit requirements for Round Lake area transport.
Equipment moving costs depend on the equipment size, transport distance, and any special requirements like permits or escorts. Local moves within Round Lake and surrounding areas typically cost less than long-distance transport to other regions.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The quote covers transport, basic permits, and standard securing equipment. Additional costs only apply for special circumstances like oversize escorts or weekend/holiday transport, which we discuss before starting the job.
Factors that affect pricing include equipment weight and dimensions, pickup and delivery locations, timeline requirements, and seasonal demand. Spring and summer typically see higher demand as construction activity peaks, while winter transport may require special considerations for road conditions.
Yes, we handle all standard permits required for equipment transport in New York. This includes oversize permits for equipment that exceeds standard width, height, or length limits, as well as overweight permits when needed.
New York has specific regulations for oversize transport, including time restrictions and route limitations. We’re familiar with state and local requirements for Round Lake area transport, including seasonal weight restrictions that affect county roads during spring thaw.
We coordinate with local authorities when escorts are required for particularly large loads. The permit costs are included in our transport quote, so you know the total price upfront. We don’t start transport until all required permits are in place and approved.
For standard equipment transport, we typically need 3-5 days advance notice to ensure trailer availability and handle any permit requirements. During busy construction season (May through October), scheduling a week ahead works better.
Oversize loads requiring special permits need more lead time, sometimes 7-10 days depending on the route and equipment dimensions. Holiday weekends and winter weather can also affect scheduling, so earlier booking helps ensure your preferred dates.
Emergency transport is sometimes possible for urgent construction needs, though it may involve additional costs for expedited permits or after-hours service. We keep some capacity available for unexpected equipment breakdowns or urgent project requirements.
We use professional-grade chains, straps, and blocking specifically designed for heavy equipment transport. Each piece of equipment gets secured according to its weight distribution and center of gravity, not just strapped down wherever it’s convenient.
Our operators inspect all securing equipment before each transport and follow DOT regulations for load securement. We also verify that equipment is properly prepared for transport – fluids checked, attachments secured, and any loose components properly fastened.
Insurance coverage protects your equipment during transport, and we maintain commercial liability coverage as required by New York regulations. Our drivers are experienced with heavy equipment transport and understand the special handling requirements for construction machinery.
We handle deliveries to challenging job sites regularly, including tight residential areas, sites with low overhead clearance, and locations with weight-restricted access roads. Our operators know Round Lake area roads and can plan routes that avoid problems.
Site access evaluation is part of our service. We’ll visit the delivery location if needed to ensure our trailers can safely navigate the route and position equipment where you need it. This prevents delays and damage from attempting deliveries to unsuitable locations.
For extremely tight sites, we may recommend alternative delivery locations where equipment can be unloaded safely, then moved to the final position under its own power. We work with you to find solutions that get your equipment where it needs to be without creating bigger problems.
