When your heavy equipment needs to move, you want it arriving exactly as it left. No damage, no delays, no surprises that cost you money or time.
Our machinery transport services in Stillwater handle everything from excavators and bulldozers to specialized construction equipment. You get professional rigging, secure transport, and careful placement at the destination.
The difference is owning our equipment instead of renting it. That means we control the timeline, maintain our machinery properly, and respond faster when you need us. Your equipment moves when you need it moved, not when rental schedules allow.
We’ve been serving Stillwater and the Capital Region since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation and heavy equipment services when we saw what property owners really needed.
Josh personally oversees every heavy equipment move to ensure your machinery gets the attention it deserves. When his son joined as a partner in 2022, it reinforced our commitment to building lasting relationships with clients who value quality work over cheap shortcuts.
We understand Stillwater’s terrain, local regulations, and seasonal challenges that affect heavy equipment transport. Rocky soil conditions, narrow access roads, and weather windows don’t surprise us because we’ve handled them all before.
Heavy equipment moving starts with understanding exactly what we’re transporting and where it needs to go. We assess the machinery dimensions, weight, and any special handling requirements during the initial consultation.
Next comes route planning and permit acquisition. Stillwater’s roads and local regulations require specific permits for oversized loads, and we handle all the paperwork to keep your move legal and on schedule.
The actual transport involves professional rigging to secure your equipment, careful loading using appropriate trailers, and safe delivery to the destination. Our operators know how to handle heavy machinery without damage, and our equipment is maintained specifically for these demanding jobs.
Final placement includes positioning your equipment exactly where you need it and ensuring everything is ready for immediate use. We don’t consider the job complete until your machinery is operational at its new location.

The key factors are equipment dimensions, weight, and access requirements at pickup and delivery locations. Stillwater’s roads can accommodate most standard construction equipment, but oversized loads require permit planning and sometimes escort vehicles.
We assess each piece of machinery individually to determine the best transport method. Some equipment can be driven onto trailers, while others require rigging and crane assistance for safe loading and unloading.
Permit requirements depend on equipment size, weight, and the specific routes through Stillwater and surrounding areas. We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with state and local regulations.
Standard construction equipment often travels without special permits, but anything exceeding legal width, height, or weight limits requires advance planning. We know which routes work best for oversized loads and which ones to avoid.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 business days, so advance notice helps ensure your equipment moves when you need it. We coordinate timing with permit approvals to prevent delays in your construction schedule.
Our comprehensive commercial insurance covers your equipment throughout the entire transport process, from initial loading to final placement at the destination. This includes coverage for damage during rigging, loading, transport, and unloading.

You’ll receive certificate of insurance documentation before transport begins, and we can provide additional coverage details to satisfy any requirements from your insurance company or project managers.
Local moves within Stillwater and the immediate Capital Region typically complete in one day, including loading, transport, and placement. Longer distance moves depend on destination and route requirements.
Weather conditions affect timing, especially during winter months or spring mud season when ground conditions limit heavy equipment access. We provide realistic timelines based on current conditions and your specific requirements.
Permit processing adds 2-3 days to the overall timeline for oversized loads, so advance planning helps ensure your equipment arrives when your project needs it. We coordinate with your construction schedule to minimize any impact on other work.
Professional rigging is included when your equipment requires crane assistance for loading or unloading. This includes machinery that can’t be driven onto trailers or needs special positioning for transport.
Our rigging services use certified equipment and operators trained specifically for heavy machinery handling. We assess each piece of equipment to determine the safest loading method and use appropriate rigging hardware for secure transport.
Some equipment requires partial disassembly for safe transport, and we coordinate this work with your maintenance team or equipment dealers. The goal is ensuring your machinery arrives ready to work without any transport-related damage.
