Helping to Build Alaska

Helping to Build Alaska

Since our founding in 1965, Alaska Air Forwarding has been serving a variety of industries in the state of Alaska through our freight services.  One such industry is the construction industry. We feel we have had a hand in building Alaska over the years as we have supported this industry in both commercial and residential areas of construction.

Construction occurs year-round in Alaska, however, the majority of construction happens during the extra-long days of summer when the sun shines between 17 and 24 hours a day. These long days make for a busy construction season that can often demand the need for equipment to be shipped into the state on short notice as well as equipment needing to be transported within the state once it arrives. General contractors and engineers rely on us, especially when the need is urgent, because we have proven to be reliable over the years.

HOW WE BUILD ALASKA

We provide construction support for hospitals, schools and government buildings in Alaska as well as support for roads and other outdoor construction. We ship:

  • Construction Freight
  • Electrical Equipment
  • Pipe and Plumbing Equipment
  • Steel Doors
  • Locks
  • Alarm Systems
  • Hydraulic Equipment
  • And much more!

Since we specialize in Heavy Lift Cargo, we are typically the first call made when it comes to shipping heavy freight. Additionally, because we have an established network on the ground in Alaska, we are able to move heavy cargo within the state, quickly and efficiently between construction sites.

When it comes to supporting Residential construction, many Alaskans find that it can be difficult to get the equipment and materials needed for their home construction projects. Here at Alaska Air Forwarding, we have the ability to deliver your residential construction equipment right to your door. Once your project is complete, we will ship the equipment back to the continental US.

Because we have supported the construction industry for so long, we understand the needs of the industry and we also understand the particulars of working in Alaska. The summer months can be a critical time for completing projects due to the long days and warm weather; AAF is equipped to handle the fast-moving construction demands of the summer as well as the harsh Alaskan winters.

If you have an upcoming construction project in Alaska, or are in the midst of one that is requiring immediate equipment needs, contact us. We can give you a quote via our 24 hour customer support and get your equipment shipped quickly and safely to your construction site.
