Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main regulations for container transport in Alaska?
Alaska DOT requires oversize permits, with seasonal frost laws restricting axle weights during thaw periods. Many routes also rely on barge transfers.
How to choose the right shipping company in Alaska?
It's essential to choose a carrier with Anchorage port access and experience handling barge and remote road deliveries. Knowledge of weather-dependent routing is critical. At Heavy Equipment Transport, we have nearly twenty years of Alaska container hauling experience.
What costs are involved in shipping containers to Alaska?
There are several costs that go into the quote of Alaska container moving. Aside from the standard distance, seasonality, etc, you can also expect barge fees, seasonal surcharges, and higher fuel costs for remote destinations.
How long does container shipping usually take in Alaska?
Dispatch in Anchorage is quick, but rural deliveries may take several days depending on terrain and weather. If you are shipping from Alaska to the continental U.S. it takes more time as the shipment goes through Canada, so has to deal with borders and customs.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Container to Alaska?
That's a good question! Moving a container to Alaska can vary in cost. Why?
It depends on whether you're shipping a container from California or Florida to Alaska. Or, you may need to ship your container from Alaska to another state.
- Is your container loaded or empty? Is it a 20ft container or a 40ft container?
- Is your container going to port?
All of these questions, along with several others, factor into your container transport cost. In general, it can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
