Alaska Air Forwarding (AAF) is a reliable shipping company that ships freight to any area in the state. One of our specialties is transporting construction equipment, which we know can be a hassle. Let’s discuss some of the common challenges when it comes to shipping construction equipment to Alaska and possible solutions.
Geographic and Environmental Factors
One of the biggest challenges to consider when shipping construction equipment to Alaska is geographic and environmental factors. Getting large equipment to remote locations can be challenging, especially when long distances are involved. On top of that, Alaska often faces severe weather conditions, such as snow, ice, and storms. That undoubtedly makes it even more difficult to transport large shipments, especially given the state's rugged and hard-to-navigate terrain.
Equipment Size and Weight
When it comes to construction equipment, you are likely dealing with oversized or overweight pieces that can be difficult to ship due to specific regulations. Many companies have size restrictions on what they can transport, which can cause shipping limitations. Finding reliable assistance for this task that isn’t constrained by company policies can be challenging.
Costs and Logistics
Shipping construction equipment can be challenging due to the high associated costs. Prices may vary based on the quantity and size of the items being transported. Costs can add up quickly, especially when placing and shipping multiple orders to remote areas that require long-distance travel and various forms of transportation.
