Your equipment arrives exactly when you need it, in the same condition it left. No surprise fees, no property damage, no delays that cost you money.
We know what it’s like when your project timeline depends on getting heavy machinery to the right spot at the right time. Every day your equipment sits waiting is money lost and deadlines missed.
That’s why we treat every move like it’s our own equipment. Protective boards go under everything to protect your property. Our trucks are positioned by drivers who’ve been navigating Schuylerville’s roads for years, so we know how to get in and out without tearing up your driveway or getting stuck.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Schuylerville since 1997. We started as a logging business, and we’ve been full-time excavation and heavy equipment specialists since 2020, with Josh’s son joining as partner in 2022.
We’re not some distant company that doesn’t know your area. We’re your neighbors. Josh is on-site for almost every job because that’s how we ensure the quality you’re paying for.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who understand Schuylerville’s terrain, local permit requirements, and the best routes for getting heavy equipment where it needs to go without complications.
First, you tell us about your equipment and where it needs to go. We’ll ask the right questions about dimensions, weight, and access to give you an accurate quote upfront.
We survey the route beforehand to identify any potential issues with clearance, permits, or access. If permits are needed, we handle the paperwork with local authorities since we know the requirements.
On moving day, we show up with the right equipment and protective materials. Our drivers position everything carefully to avoid property damage, secure your machinery properly, and transport it safely to the destination. We stay in communication throughout so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

Our heavy equipment moving service covers excavators, bulldozers, loaders, compactors, and other construction machinery. We handle everything from small utility equipment to large earthmoving machines.
Every move includes route planning, proper permits when required, protective boarding for your property, professional loading and securing, and careful positioning at the destination. We work around your schedule and can often provide same-day service if you call before noon.
Schuylerville’s construction and development projects demand reliable equipment transport. Whether you’re moving machinery between job sites, delivering newly purchased equipment, or relocating for seasonal work, our local knowledge ensures smooth transport without the complications that come with hiring distant companies unfamiliar with our area’s requirements.
Heavy equipment moving costs depend on the size and weight of your machinery, distance traveled, and any special requirements like permits or escorts. Most local moves within Schuylerville and surrounding areas are priced as a flat rate rather than per-mile.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Unlike some companies that quote low then add charges for permits, fuel, or “accessibility issues,” we survey the job beforehand and give you the real cost from the start.
For an accurate quote, we need to know the equipment type, dimensions, weight, pickup location, and destination. We can usually provide same-day estimates and often accommodate urgent moves if needed.
We handle a wide range of heavy equipment from compact utility machines up to large excavators and bulldozers. Our fleet includes different trailer configurations to match your specific equipment requirements.
Most standard construction equipment like excavators, loaders, backhoes, and compactors fall well within our transport capabilities. For oversized or extremely heavy machinery, we coordinate with specialized carriers while managing the entire process for you.
If you’re unsure whether your equipment fits our transport limits, just describe the machine or send us the specifications. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed and handle any permit requirements for oversized loads.
Yes, we offer same-day heavy equipment transport if you call before noon and we have availability. Most requests can be accommodated within 24 hours since we’re locally based in the Schuylerville area.
Being local means we don’t have to coordinate with distant dispatch centers or wait for equipment to arrive from other regions. When you call, you’re talking directly to people who can make decisions and deploy equipment quickly.
For planned moves, we recommend scheduling in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot. But we understand construction schedules change, and we do our best to accommodate urgent transport needs when equipment breaks down or project timelines shift.
We take property protection seriously and use protective boards under all equipment to distribute weight and prevent damage to driveways, lawns, or paved surfaces. Our drivers have years of experience positioning heavy equipment without causing property damage.
Before any move, we assess the access route and discuss any concerns you have about specific areas. If your driveway has limitations or there are landscaping features to avoid, we plan accordingly and position our equipment to minimize any impact.
Our local experience in Schuylerville means we understand different property types and soil conditions. We know which areas can handle heavy equipment traffic and how to protect surfaces that might be vulnerable to damage from our trucks and trailers.
Permit requirements depend on your equipment’s size, weight, and the transport route. Standard-sized construction equipment typically doesn’t require special permits for local moves, but oversized or overweight loads need proper documentation.
We handle all permit applications with local and state authorities since we’re familiar with Schuylerville’s requirements and have established relationships with the permitting offices. This saves you time and ensures compliance with all regulations.
For complex moves requiring escorts or special routing, we coordinate everything in advance. You don’t need to worry about permit details – we make sure all paperwork is in order before your equipment moves.
Basic preparation includes removing loose items, securing any moveable parts, and ensuring fluids aren’t leaking. For most equipment, this means retracting hydraulic cylinders, folding arms or attachments, and removing any accessories that could shift during transport.
We’ll provide specific preparation instructions based on your equipment type when we schedule the move. Different machines have different requirements, and we want to make sure everything is properly secured before loading.
If your equipment isn’t running, that’s not a problem – we have the tools and experience to load non-operational machinery safely. Just let us know the condition when you call so we can bring the right equipment for loading and securing.
