What Drivers Say About Macarthur Before Garden City Park Calls
The Google reviews below are from drivers who called Macarthur for a tow or a roadside fix, which is exactly what a Garden City Park driver is doing when they call 516-362-5350. The same trucks, the same drivers, and the same yard in Valley Stream answer Garden City Park.
I got locked out my car on a cold snowy night and Alex came and unlock my car. He was very quick and professional. I would definitely use this towing company again.
Great timing and professionalism. The tow truck driver Carlos was experienced and helpful. I would recommend this company and Carlos to anyone.
Not the usual experience with a towing company. Everyone that I spoke to was polite and respectful and they towed my car with care. Hopefully I never need my car towed again, but if I do, this is who I will be using!

What Macarthur Hauls to and From Job Sites in Garden City Park: Skid Steers, Excavators, Compressors, Forklifts, and Lifts
Macarthur's flatbeds carry skid steers and compact track loaders, mini excavators, tow-behind compressors and generators, forklifts, scissor lifts and small boom lifts, trenchers, and the landscaping equipment that goes with them. The limit is the piece's weight and dimensions, so the call starts with make, model, and weight.
Most equipment calls from Garden City Park are from landscapers and small contractors who do not own a trailer rated for the piece, or who own one and do not have a truck free to pull it that day. A skid steer or a compact track loader is the most common load, followed by mini excavators, compressors and generators on their own running gear, forklifts between warehouses, and scissor lifts moving from a rental yard or a shop to a site.
What the truck can carry comes down to three numbers: the piece's weight, its length and width, and its height once it is on the deck. A flatbed has a rated capacity and a deck size, and a lift that is too tall for the route or a loader that is too wide for the deck is a conversation to have on the phone, not at the site. That is why the person who answers 516-362-5350 asks for the make and model; from that the weight and dimensions are known, and the right truck leaves the yard.
Loads beyond what a flatbed handles, a full-size excavator, a large loader, a piece that needs a lowboy and permits, are not Macarthur's work, and the honest answer is a referral rather than an attempt. For everything in the range above, the flatbeds that cover Garden City Park also cover Garden City South, Glen Cove, and Glen Head, and the equipment hauling page describes the range in more detail.
Tell us the make, model, and weight, and we tell you which truck comes to Garden City Park.
Job-Site Access in Garden City Park: What the Driver Needs to Know Before the Flatbed Arrives
A flatbed needs room to back in, tilt the deck, and extend it to the ground, which means a clear run of roughly the truck's length plus the deck behind it, on ground firm enough to hold the truck. Tell the person who answers whether the site is a residential driveway, a street, a yard, or a lot, and whether there is overhead clearance, soft ground, or a slope.
Residential work in Garden City Park is where access gets tight. A driveway between two houses with a low wire across the front, a soft lawn after rain, a slope that makes the deck angle steeper on one end than the other, a street with cars parked on both sides. None of these are deal-breakers, but every one of them changes how the driver positions the truck, and knowing in advance is the difference between a quick load and a truck that has to be repositioned twice.
The driver needs a straight run to back into, with the deck able to reach ground that will hold the piece's weight at the bottom of the ramp. Overhead wires and tree limbs matter because the deck rises when it tilts and a lift or an excavator boom rises with it. Soft ground matters because a loaded truck that sinks is a second truck call. A slope matters because the deck angle gets steep on the uphill side and the winch may be needed even on a machine that runs.
On the phone, describe the site the way you would describe it to a delivery driver who has never been there: what kind of property, where the piece is, where the truck can get to, and anything overhead or underfoot. If the piece is behind a fence, a gate, or another vehicle, say so. The same questions apply to the drop-off site. Crews working in Garden City South and Glen Cove get the same questions, and the answers are what let the driver bring the right truck the first time. The what to tell us section on the towing page is written for cars but applies here too.
Describe the site like you would to a delivery driver who has never seen it.
Scheduled Moves and Same-Day Calls: How Equipment Hauling in Garden City Park Is Arranged
Most equipment moves are planned: a loader to a site that starts Monday, a lift back to the rental yard Friday, a compressor to the shop for service. Those are scheduled with a pickup window. Breakdowns and site emergencies are handled the way a tow is, as soon as a truck is free. Either way, call 516-362-5350 with the piece, both locations, and when it needs to move.
A scheduled move is the easy version. You know the piece, you know both sites in Garden City Park or across Nassau County, and you know the day. The person who answers takes the details, confirms the truck, and gives you a window. Someone should be at the pickup to point to the piece and at the drop-off to say where it goes, or the driver needs clear instructions and a way to reach you.
Same-day calls happen when a machine quits on the job, when a site inspector needs a piece gone, or when a crew finishes early and the next site is ready now. Those are handled the way any tow is: the truck that is free goes, and the person on the phone tells you honestly when that is. A dead machine on a job site is also a winch job rather than a drive-on, so say the piece does not run.
Equipment to a repair shop or a dealer is a common scheduled move, and the driver can leave the piece where the shop wants it if they are open or arrange with them if they are not. For contractors in Nassau County who move equipment every week, an account means the person who answers already knows the fleet, the yard, and who can authorize a move; the commercial accounts section on the towing page explains how it works. Heavy duty towing in Garden City Park covers the trucks the equipment rides behind when a whole rig needs to move.

Hauling the Trailer, Too: Equipment Trailers, Dump Trailers, and Disabled Rigs in Garden City Park
Sometimes the equipment is fine and the trailer or the truck pulling it is not. Macarthur tows equipment trailers, dump trailers, and landscape trailers with the load still on them when it is safe to do so, and recovers a disabled pickup or dump truck with its trailer attached using the heavy wrecker. The call should describe the whole rig, not just the piece.
A landscaper's pickup that dies in Garden City Park with a loaded trailer behind it is two problems: the truck and the trailer. The heavy wrecker can tow a pickup with a trailer attached when the hitch and the trailer brakes allow it, or the trailer can be towed separately on its own wheels, or the equipment can come off the trailer and ride on the flatbed while the truck and empty trailer go on the wrecker. Which one depends on the rig, the load, and where everything is going.
An equipment trailer with a flat tire, a bad bearing, or a broken axle, loaded or empty, is towed on its own wheels or carried on the flatbed depending on the damage. A dump trailer with a load that has to go to a site today may be worth transferring the load rather than waiting on a trailer repair. The person at 516-362-5350 will ask what the trailer is, what is on it, and whether it rolls.
The point is to describe the whole picture: the truck, the trailer, what is on the trailer, and whether each part moves. A rig described as "a skid steer that needs to move" when it is actually a dead pickup, a trailer with a bad bearing, and a loader on top gets the wrong truck. The heavy duty towing page covers the wrecker side; crews in Glen Head and across Nassau County with a rig down call the same number and describe the same three things.
Truck, trailer, and load: describe all three and the right trucks come.
What an Equipment Move From Garden City Park Costs Depends On, and How Macarthur Quotes It
An equipment move is priced on the distance between the two sites, the piece's weight and size, whether it runs or has to be winched, how difficult the access is at each end, and the time of day. Macarthur quotes from the make, model, both addresses, and your description of the sites before the truck leaves, and the quote holds unless the job on arrival is different from what was described.
The number has the same shape as a tow quote with a couple of additions. Distance is first: a loader going across Garden City Park and a loader going from Garden City Park to the far side of Nassau County are different jobs. The piece is second: weight decides the truck, and a dead machine that has to be winched takes longer than one that drives up. Access is third: a site that needs the truck repositioned, boards under the ramps, or a wait for a gate to be opened costs time, and time is on the quote.
Night and weekend moves are priced as such, and scheduled daytime moves are the most economical version of the same job. If the move is one of several, or if your crew moves equipment every week, say so; a standing account is set up to make repeat moves simpler.
What the quote is not is a low number to get the truck there and a higher one once the machine is chained down. If the driver arrives in Garden City Park and finds a bigger piece, a dead machine described as running, or a site the truck cannot reach, he says so and tells you the new number before loading, and you decide. The how a tow is priced section on the towing page explains each factor for ordinary tows, and the same honesty applies to a skid steer.
Make, model, both addresses, and the site. That is the quote.
How a Piece of Equipment Is Loaded and Secured on a Macarthur Flatbed in Garden City Park
Equipment that runs is driven onto the tilted deck under its own power with the driver guiding; equipment that does not run is winched up. On the deck it is positioned over the axles, chained at four points to the deck's tie-down rails, and the chains are tensioned with ratchet binders. Attachments are lowered to the deck or removed and secured separately.
The deck tilts and slides to the ground the same way it does for a car. A skid steer or a mini excavator with a working engine is driven up the deck slowly, with the driver guiding and the operator keeping the bucket or the boom low, and parked where the weight sits over the truck's rear axles. A dead piece is winched up on its tracks or wheels, which takes longer and is why the call should mention whether the piece runs.
Securing equipment is not strapping a car. A loader bounces on its tires, a tracked machine has no suspension at all, and either can shift a strap that would hold a sedan. The driver uses grade-rated chains at four corners, hooked to the machine's designated tie-down points, and tensions them with ratchet binders so the piece cannot move in any direction. Buckets, forks, and booms are lowered to the deck and chained or removed and secured on their own. On a lift, the platform is lowered and locked.
The driver walks the load once more before leaving Garden City Park: chain tension, binder locks, nothing hanging past the deck, nothing that can swing. Then the deck comes up and locks. At the delivery site, the process runs in reverse and the piece is unloaded where the crew wants it, within what the ground and the deck angle allow. The flatbed towing page covers the deck itself; the chains and binders are what make it an equipment truck.
Piece runs or does not? Say which so the driver knows whether it drives up or winches up.
Who Calls Macarthur for Equipment Hauling in Garden City Park: Landscapers, Contractors, Rental Yards, and Property Managers
Landscapers moving loaders between properties, general contractors staging a site, electricians and painters renting a lift, property managers with a piece that has to leave a lot, and rental yards delivering to or collecting from customers in Garden City Park all use the same flatbeds. One number, one company, and drivers who chain equipment every week.
Landscapers are the most frequent callers from Garden City Park: a skid steer or a track loader that has to be at a different property by morning, a mini excavator going to a drainage job, a stump grinder on its own trailer with no truck free to pull it. Spring and fall are the busy seasons, and the move is usually scheduled the day before.
General contractors and trades call when a site needs a lift, a compressor, or a generator that is coming from a yard or a rental company rather than from their own fleet, or when a piece has to come off a finished site. Rental companies in Nassau County use the same trucks to deliver and collect when their own delivery schedule is full. Property managers call when equipment left on a lot has to go somewhere, which is also where heavy duty towing in Garden City Park comes in for vehicles.
What they have in common is that the equipment is a tool and the move is overhead, and the only thing that matters is that the piece arrives undamaged, on time, and where the crew needs it. Macarthur runs the trucks and employs the drivers, so the company you call is the company that shows up; the about page says what else that means. The same flatbeds cover Garden City South and Glen Cove, and for a car or a truck rather than a machine, towing in Garden City Park is the page to start from.

- Does the equipment have to run to be loaded?
- No. A running piece is driven up the deck; a dead one is winched up on its tracks or wheels. Say which when you call, because it changes the time and the quote.
