Heavy Equipment Freight from Alaska

How do you ship heavy equipment to remote Alaska locations?

For locations not accessible by road, we coordinate barge transport from Anchorage, Seattle, or other ports. Equipment is trucked to the port, loaded onto barges, and transported to coastal communities or river destinations. We handle all logistics including crane services for loading/unloading.

What are the seasonal restrictions for heavy haul in Alaska?

Alaska imposes spring thaw weight restrictions typically from March through May, when road beds are weakened. The Dalton Highway has the strictest restrictions. We plan shipments around these windows and can advise on optimal timing for your transport needs.

Can you transport equipment to the North Slope oil fields?

Yes, we regularly transport drilling equipment, support machinery, and supplies to Prudhoe Bay and other North Slope locations via the Dalton Highway. These moves require special permits, experienced drivers, and often winter timing for the heaviest loads.

How long does equipment transport to Alaska take?

Transit times vary significantly based on destination. Anchorage from Seattle takes approximately 5-7 days by road through Canada. Remote locations requiring barge service may take 2-4 weeks depending on sailing schedules. We provide detailed timelines for every shipment.
