When you need heavy equipment moved in the Adirondack region, you’re dealing with challenging terrain that standard transport can’t handle. Your excavator, bulldozer, or construction machinery needs specialized lowboy trailer transport that understands local conditions.
You get equipment that arrives exactly when promised, properly secured, and ready to work. No damage from improper loading. No delays from operators who don’t understand the route challenges around Lake George. No surprise costs because we planned for the terrain.
Your project timeline stays intact because the equipment transport is handled by someone who’s been navigating these mountain roads for years and knows how to get heavy machinery where it needs to go safely.
We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout the Sabbath Day Point and Lake George region since 1997. We understand the unique challenges of transporting machinery in the Adirondacks – from narrow mountain roads to seasonal weight restrictions.
Josh is present on most transport jobs to ensure your equipment is handled properly. We’re not a large operation that treats your machinery like just another load. We’re the local family business that understands what that excavator or bulldozer means to your operation.
We know which routes work for oversize loads, which bridges have weight restrictions, and how to navigate the permit requirements that catch other transporters off guard.
First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type – lowboy, RGN removable gooseneck, or Landoll depending on your machinery’s dimensions and weight. We handle all necessary permits and route planning for oversize loads.
Loading happens with proper equipment and safety protocols. Your machinery gets secured correctly for mountain road transport, with attention to the unique challenges of Adirondack terrain. We use hydraulic tilt trailers and ground loading systems when needed for specialized equipment.
During transport, we maintain communication about timing and any route adjustments. Your equipment arrives at the destination safely, and we handle proper unloading with the same care we used during pickup. The job isn’t done until your machinery is positioned where you need it and ready for operation.

Our equipment moving services cover everything from single-piece machinery transport to complete job site relocations. We handle excavators, bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, scissor lifts, and other construction equipment that requires specialized transport.
Lowboy trailer services include standard lowboys for most construction equipment, RGN removable gooseneck trailers for taller loads, and Landoll sliding axle trailers for specialized requirements. We also provide hydraulic tilt trailer moving for equipment that needs ground-level loading.
In the Sabbath Day Point area, equipment transport requires understanding seasonal restrictions, especially during spring thaw when weight limits change on local roads. We coordinate timing to avoid delays and ensure your equipment moves when your project schedule demands it. Oversize load permits and escort services are handled as part of our complete transport solution.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, track loaders, wheel loaders, cranes, forklifts, scissor lifts, compactors, and other heavy construction machinery. Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to legal weight limits, while RGN removable gooseneck trailers accommodate taller machinery that exceeds standard height restrictions.
For specialized equipment, we use Landoll trailers with sliding axles that provide flexibility for different load configurations. Hydraulic tilt trailers work for equipment that needs ground-level loading without ramps. Each piece of machinery gets evaluated to determine the most appropriate trailer type for safe transport.
The key is matching the right trailer to your specific equipment rather than trying to make one trailer work for everything. That’s how we ensure your machinery arrives undamaged and ready to work.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with state and local authorities for oversize load transport. New York requires specific permits for loads exceeding standard dimensions, and the Adirondack region has additional restrictions during certain seasons.
The permit process includes route approval, timing restrictions, and sometimes escort vehicle requirements. We know which roads can handle heavy equipment and which bridges have weight restrictions that affect routing. Spring thaw periods often have reduced weight limits that impact when equipment can be moved.
We submit permit applications well in advance and coordinate timing with your project schedule. You don’t have to navigate the regulatory requirements yourself – we handle the paperwork and ensure compliance with all state and local regulations for heavy equipment transport.
Lowboy trailers have a low deck height that’s ideal for most construction equipment, keeping the overall transport height within legal limits. They work well for excavators, bulldozers, and other standard construction machinery.
RGN removable gooseneck trailers have a detachable front section that allows ground-level loading for tall equipment. The gooseneck removes completely, creating a ramp for machinery that can’t use standard trailer ramps. This is essential for equipment that exceeds height limits on regular lowboys.
Landoll trailers feature sliding axles and hydraulic systems that provide maximum flexibility for different load configurations. They’re particularly useful for equipment with unusual dimensions or weight distribution. The sliding axle system allows precise weight placement for optimal transport balance.
Equipment transport costs depend on several factors: the size and weight of your machinery, transport distance, route complexity, and permit requirements. Local moves within the Lake George region typically cost less than long-distance transport to other states.
Oversize loads requiring permits and escort vehicles cost more due to additional regulatory requirements. Complex routes through mountain terrain or restricted access areas also affect pricing. Equipment that requires specialized trailers like RGN or Landoll systems costs more than standard lowboy transport.
We provide detailed estimates based on your specific equipment and destination. The quote includes all permits, escort services if needed, and proper insurance coverage. No surprise costs or change orders – you know the total price upfront before we move your equipment.
Yes, we regularly transport equipment to challenging job sites throughout the Adirondack region. This includes sites with narrow access roads, steep grades, limited turning radius, and seasonal access restrictions.
Our operators understand local terrain challenges and have experience navigating mountain roads with heavy loads. We scout routes in advance to identify any access issues and plan accordingly. Sometimes this means using smaller trailers or making multiple trips instead of trying to force oversized equipment through inadequate access.
For extremely difficult access, we coordinate with site preparation to ensure adequate roadway conditions for safe equipment delivery. The goal is getting your machinery to the job site without damage to the equipment, the trailer, or the access route. We’d rather take extra time to do it safely than create problems that delay your entire project.
We handle both local equipment moves within the Adirondack region and long-distance transport throughout New York and neighboring states. Local moves often involve relocating equipment between job sites or transporting machinery from dealers to construction sites.
Long-distance transport requires additional coordination for permits, route planning, and timing. Interstate moves involve different regulatory requirements and often need escort vehicles for oversize loads. We coordinate with authorities in multiple states to ensure smooth transport across state lines.
Whether you’re moving an excavator across town or transporting a crane from New York to Vermont, we handle the logistics and ensure your equipment arrives on schedule. The same attention to detail applies regardless of distance – proper loading, secure transport, and professional delivery that keeps your project moving forward.
