Your excavator arrives at the jobsite ready to work, not damaged from poor transport. Your project stays on schedule because we understand construction timelines don’t have room for equipment delays or damage claims.
We provide professional drivers who know the difference between expensive machinery and regular freight. DOT-compliant securing, proper route planning for oversized loads, and insurance coverage that actually protects your investment.
No surprise fees that blow your project budget. No equipment damage that costs you repair time and rental fees. Just reliable transport that treats your machinery like the valuable asset it is.
We’ve been moving equipment throughout Thurman and the surrounding Adirondack region since we started serving this area. We know every back road, seasonal weight restriction, and bridge limitation that affects heavy equipment transport.
Our drivers hold proper commercial licensing with clean records and years of hauling experience. We’re not just another trucking company – we understand construction equipment and what it takes to move it safely.
Most of our work comes from referrals because contractors know we handle the details that matter. When your project depends on equipment being ready, you need someone reliable.
We start by understanding your equipment specifications – dimensions, weight, operating condition, and any attachments that affect transport. This determines the right trailer type and any special permits needed.
Next comes route planning and scheduling. We coordinate pickup and delivery times that work with your project timeline, plan routes that accommodate oversized loads, and handle all DOT permits and requirements.
The actual transport involves proper securing according to DOT standards, real-time communication about progress, and careful handling at both pickup and delivery. Your equipment gets the same attention whether it’s a compact excavator or a large crane.

Our lowboy and specialized trailer fleet handles excavators, bulldozers, compactors, cranes, and other construction equipment throughout Thurman and the tri-county area. We use removable gooseneck (RGN) trailers for easy loading, hydraulic tilt trailers for specific equipment needs, and extendable lowboys for longer machinery.
Thurman’s rural location and seasonal conditions require local knowledge that prevents costly delays. We understand which roads handle heavy loads year-round, where seasonal restrictions apply, and how to navigate the rural routes that connect your jobsites.
Every load gets secured according to Department of Transportation standards with proper tie-downs, weight distribution, and safety equipment. We handle oversized load permits, escort requirements, and route restrictions so your equipment moves legally and safely.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, compactors, cranes, pavers, rollers, skid steers, and other heavy construction equipment using our fleet of lowboy, RGN, and specialized trailers. Each trailer type is selected based on your equipment’s dimensions, weight, and loading requirements.
Our lowboy trailers handle equipment up to 80,000 pounds with their low deck height providing better clearance for tall machinery. RGN (removable gooseneck) trailers allow for easy drive-on loading for self-propelled equipment. We also have hydraulic tilt trailers and extendable lowboys for specialized hauling needs.
Before transport, we evaluate your equipment’s specifications to determine the right trailer configuration, securing method, and any special permits required for safe, legal transport throughout the Thurman area.
Equipment safety starts with proper securing using DOT-approved tie-down methods, chains, and straps rated for your machinery’s weight. We inspect all securing equipment before each load and follow strict protocols for weight distribution and balance.
Our drivers have extensive experience with rural routes around Thurman, understanding which roads can handle heavy loads and where seasonal restrictions apply. We plan routes that avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and areas prone to seasonal closures.
Comprehensive insurance coverage protects your equipment from pickup to delivery. We maintain detailed inspection records, photograph equipment condition before transport, and communicate directly with you throughout the process. This attention to detail has earned us referrals from contractors who trust us with their most valuable equipment.
New York requires special permits for loads exceeding legal width (8.5 feet), height (13.5 feet), length, or weight limits. Most construction equipment qualifies as oversize and requires proper permitting before transport.
We handle all permit applications, route approvals, and escort requirements for your equipment transport. This includes single-trip permits for one-time moves and annual permits for regular hauling routes. Permit requirements vary based on equipment dimensions, travel routes, and time of transport.
The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days for standard oversize loads, longer for super-heavy equipment. We coordinate timing to ensure permits are active before your scheduled transport date. Our local knowledge helps navigate New York’s permit system efficiently, preventing delays that could impact your project timeline.
For standard equipment transport, we typically need 3-5 days advance notice to coordinate scheduling, permits, and route planning. Emergency moves can often be accommodated with 24-48 hours notice, though this may involve rush fees and limited scheduling options.
Advance planning allows us to secure proper permits, coordinate with utility companies if needed, and plan optimal routes for your specific equipment. During busy construction seasons, earlier booking ensures availability when you need it.
We recommend contacting us as soon as you know equipment needs to be moved. This gives us time to handle permit requirements, coordinate with your project schedule, and ensure everything is ready for smooth transport. Last-minute requests are handled when possible, but advance planning always provides better service and pricing.
We provide equipment transport throughout Thurman and the surrounding Adirondack region, including Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties. Our local knowledge extends to rural routes, seasonal restrictions, and infrastructure limitations throughout upstate New York.
Regular service areas include connections to major construction sites, equipment dealers, and repair facilities throughout the Capital Region and North Country. We also handle longer-distance transport to other states when projects require equipment relocation.
Our familiarity with local roads, bridge weight limits, and seasonal access restrictions ensures efficient transport planning. We know which routes handle heavy loads year-round and how to navigate around construction zones or temporary restrictions that could affect your equipment delivery schedule.
Equipment loading and unloading depends on your machinery type and site conditions. Self-propelled equipment like excavators and bulldozers typically drive onto RGN trailers using our hydraulic ramps. Non-operational equipment requires crane assistance or specialized loading equipment.
We coordinate with you to ensure adequate space at both pickup and delivery locations. Our lowboy trailers need room to maneuver, and we verify site access can accommodate our truck and trailer combinations before scheduling transport.
For challenging sites with limited access, we plan alternative approaches including smaller equipment for tight spaces or coordination with site crews for assistance. Our drivers are experienced with construction site conditions and work safely around ongoing operations. We always confirm loading/unloading arrangements in advance to prevent delays or complications.
