Your excavators, bulldozers, and specialized machinery represent significant investments. When they need to move, you want them handled by operators who understand that one mistake can cost thousands in repairs and project delays.
We handle equipment moving with the same attention to detail that’s built our excavation reputation in Whitehall. Your equipment gets loaded properly, secured correctly, and delivered on the timeline you need to keep your projects moving forward.
No surprises, no excuses, no equipment sitting damaged on the side of Route 4 because someone cut corners on the transport.
We’ve been moving earth and equipment in Whitehall since our logging days started in 1997. We know the local terrain, the tight spots on job sites, and what it takes to get heavy machinery through Washington County’s challenging conditions.
When local contractors need equipment moved, they call us because we show up with the right trailers, handle the permits properly, and treat their machinery like our own. We’re not seasonal haulers who disappear when you need them most.
We’re the excavating company that expanded into equipment transport because too many of our customers were getting burned by haulers who didn’t understand construction equipment or local conditions.
First, we assess your equipment and discuss timing, pickup location, and any special requirements. We’ll determine whether you need a standard lowboy, RGN trailer, or specialized configuration based on your equipment’s dimensions and weight.
Next, we handle all permits and route planning. Whitehall’s roads and bridges have specific limitations, and we know which routes work for oversized loads and which ones create problems.
Then we load your equipment using proper techniques and securement methods. Our operators understand construction machinery and how to protect hydraulic systems, tracks, and sensitive components during transport. Your equipment arrives ready to work, not needing repairs from transport damage.

Our lowboy and RGN trailers handle equipment from compact excavators to large bulldozers, with capacity ranging from 40,000 to 80,000 pounds depending on configuration. We can transport equipment up to 12 feet tall and handle overwidth loads that standard trailers can’t accommodate.
In Whitehall, we regularly move equipment for residential construction, commercial development, and municipal projects. Our operators understand local job site access challenges, from tight residential lots to commercial properties with overhead restrictions.
We provide loading assistance with our own equipment when needed, coordinate pilot cars for oversized loads, and ensure all transport meets New York State requirements. Your equipment moves legally and safely, with full insurance coverage throughout the transport process.
We transport excavators, bulldozers, backhoe loaders, skid steers, compact track loaders, scissor lifts, forklifts, and other construction equipment. Our lowboy trailers can handle equipment up to 80,000 pounds total weight depending on axle configuration.
The key factors are your equipment’s height, width, length, and weight. Most construction equipment fits well on lowboy trailers because the low deck height provides better clearance under bridges and through areas with overhead restrictions. We’ll assess your specific equipment and determine the best trailer configuration during our initial consultation.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for oversized and overweight loads. This includes New York State Department of Transportation permits and any local permits required for transport through Whitehall and surrounding areas.
We know which routes work for different types of equipment and which roads have restrictions that could cause delays. Our permit process includes route planning to avoid low bridges, weight-restricted roads, and areas with overhead utilities. This planning prevents delays and ensures your equipment reaches its destination on schedule.
RGN stands for Removable Gooseneck, which means the front section detaches to create a ramp for drive-on loading. This works well for self-propelled equipment like excavators and bulldozers that can drive onto the trailer under their own power.
Standard lowboy trailers require crane or ramp loading from the side or rear. RGN trailers are often more convenient for equipment that’s operational and can be driven, while standard lowboys work better for non-operational equipment or machinery that needs to be lifted into position. We’ll recommend the best option based on your equipment’s condition and the loading situation at both pickup and delivery locations.
We use proper securement techniques including heavy-duty chains, binders, and blocking to prevent movement during transport. Our operators understand construction equipment and know how to protect hydraulic cylinders, tracks, and other components that can be damaged by improper securing.
We also inspect equipment before loading to identify any loose parts or potential issues. For Whitehall’s terrain, we plan routes that avoid unnecessary jarring from rough roads when possible. Our lowboy trailers have low centers of gravity which provide better stability on hills and uneven surfaces common in Washington County.
We provide equipment transport throughout Washington County including Whitehall, East Whitehall, Hampton, Dresden, and surrounding communities. We also transport equipment to and from job sites in Saratoga and Warren Counties.
Our local knowledge extends beyond just Whitehall to understanding the road conditions, bridge limitations, and access challenges throughout the region. This means we can efficiently plan routes whether you’re moving equipment from a dealer in Glens Falls to a job site in Whitehall, or transporting machinery between local projects.
For standard equipment moves within the local area, we typically need 2-3 days notice to arrange proper trailers and handle any permit requirements. For oversized loads or moves requiring special permits, plan for at least a week to ensure all regulatory requirements are met.
During busy construction seasons, scheduling further in advance helps ensure availability when you need it. We understand that construction schedules change, so we try to accommodate reasonable adjustments when possible. Emergency equipment moves can sometimes be arranged with shorter notice, but this may involve additional costs for expedited permitting and scheduling.
