Schuylerville Equipment Moving Company

Local Expertise That Actually Knows Your Area

We’ve been moving heavy equipment throughout Schuylerville and the Capital Region since we started our excavating business. That means we know every back road weight restriction, every seasonal limitation, and every permit requirement that affects your equipment transport.

You’re not getting drivers who learned about your area from Google Maps. We’ve hauled machinery through every corner of Saratoga, Washington, and Warren Counties. We know which routes work for oversized loads and which ones don’t.

That local knowledge matters when you’re trusting someone with equipment worth more than most people’s homes. We understand the terrain, the regulations, and the reality of moving heavy machinery in upstate New York.

Heavy Equipment Moving Process

Straightforward Transport That Handles the Details

First, we assess your equipment and determine the right trailer type. Excavators and tall equipment go on lowboy trailers. Ground-loading machinery might work better on RGN trailers. We match the equipment to your specific needs, not the other way around.

Next, we handle permits and route planning. Oversized loads require specific permits and approved routes. We take care of the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities so your transport stays legal and on schedule.

Finally, we secure your equipment using DOT-approved tie-down methods and transport it safely to your destination. Our drivers know the difference between careful handling and rushing to the next job. Your equipment gets the attention it deserves from pickup to delivery.

Lowboy Trailer Services Schuylerville

Specialized Equipment for Every Type of Machinery

Our lowboy trailers handle everything from compact excavators to full-size bulldozers. The low deck height keeps tall equipment within legal height limits, reducing permit requirements and avoiding clearance issues under bridges and overpasses.

RGN trailers with removable goosenecks make loading easier for equipment that can drive onto the trailer. Landoll trailers with hydraulic tilt decks work perfect for machinery that needs ground-level loading. We match the right trailer to your specific equipment.

In Schuylerville and surrounding areas, we regularly transport construction equipment between job sites, move machinery for equipment dealers, and handle emergency equipment relocations when projects need immediate equipment access. Every transport includes proper insurance coverage and experienced drivers who understand the value of what they’re hauling.

What types of heavy equipment can you transport on lowboy trailers?

We transport excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, compactors, skid steers, wheel loaders, and other construction machinery using our lowboy and RGN trailer fleet. Our trailers handle equipment weighing up to 80,000 pounds with proper axle configurations.

Lowboy trailers work best for tall equipment because the low deck height keeps the overall transport height within legal limits. This is especially important for excavators with extended booms or other machinery that exceeds standard height restrictions. We also transport agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and specialized construction tools that require professional handling.

Equipment transport costs depend on several factors including the size and weight of your machinery, transport distance, route complexity, and permit requirements. Local moves within 50 miles typically cost less than long-distance transport that crosses multiple counties or states.

Oversized loads requiring special permits and escort vehicles will cost more than standard-sized equipment. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what your equipment transport will cost before we begin. Rush jobs or weekend transport may include additional charges for expedited service.

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for oversized and overweight equipment transport. This includes obtaining the proper permits from New York State DOT and coordinating with local municipalities for route approvals when necessary.

Permit requirements vary based on equipment dimensions, weight, and transport route. Some equipment fits within standard legal limits and doesn’t require special permits, while oversized machinery needs specific documentation and approved routing. We determine permit needs during the initial assessment and include all permit costs in your transport quote.

Our experience with local regulations means we know which permits are required and how to obtain them efficiently. This prevents delays and ensures your equipment transport stays legal throughout the entire route from pickup to delivery.

We carry comprehensive commercial insurance that covers your equipment during transport, including coverage for damage, theft, and accidents. Our insurance meets all DOT requirements and provides protection that exceeds industry minimums for heavy equipment hauling.

Every transport is fully insured from the moment we load your equipment until it’s safely delivered and unloaded at the destination. We provide insurance documentation before transport begins, so you have written proof of coverage for your records.

If you have specific insurance requirements or need additional coverage for extremely high-value equipment, we can coordinate with our insurance provider to ensure adequate protection. We also recommend checking with your own equipment insurance to understand how transport coverage works with your existing policies.

For standard equipment transport, we recommend scheduling at least 48-72 hours in advance to ensure trailer availability and proper route planning. This gives us time to obtain any necessary permits and coordinate the most efficient transport route for your equipment.

Rush jobs can often be accommodated with same-day or next-day service, but availability depends on our current schedule and trailer fleet. Emergency equipment moves for critical project needs take priority, and we’ll work with your timeline whenever possible.

During peak construction season (spring through fall), scheduling further in advance helps guarantee your preferred transport dates. Winter transport is generally more flexible, but weather conditions can affect scheduling and may require contingency planning for safe equipment handling.

Before pickup, ensure your equipment is clean and free of excess dirt or debris that could fall during transport. Secure or remove any loose attachments, tools, or accessories that aren’t permanently mounted to the machinery. Drain hydraulic fluid levels to safe transport levels if required by manufacturer specifications.

Make sure the equipment is accessible for our trailer and that there’s adequate space for safe loading. If the pickup location has overhead clearances, soft ground, or other access challenges, let us know during scheduling so we can plan accordingly.

Have all equipment documentation ready, including serial numbers, weight specifications, and any special handling instructions. If the equipment has known mechanical issues that affect loading or transport, inform us beforehand so our operators can take appropriate precautions during the move.
