SteelForge sells shipping containers to customers across Alaska, from 10ft site stores through to 45ft high cubes and 53ft domestic units. Containers are delivered to your site rather than collected, and the price of that delivery depends on the address and the access rather than on the mileage alone.

Alaska is off the contiguous road network, so the logistics are the story. Containers reach Alaska by barge from the Seattle yard to a port terminal, then by truck to the final site. Remote areas off the road system may need collection from the nearest terminal, and the sea leg means seasonal windows and longer lead times than the lower 48. The containers themselves are the same range sold everywhere; it is getting them there that differs, and every Alaska order is quoted individually because the sea leg dominates the cost.

What we deliver here

The full range: standard and high cube containers from 10ft to 53ft, new, one-trip and graded used stock, refrigerated units, and containers modified into offices, workshops and secure stores. Stock is held centrally and delivered from our Seattle depot, so what appears in the catalogue is what can be sent to a Alaska address.

Delivery in Alaska

Delivery method
Delivery method: Standard tilt-bed or roll-off delivery, where the container slides off and you provide any offloading equipment; flatbed, where you unload with a crane or forklift and which is required for multi-container orders; and lift-assisted delivery by crane or side-loader for tight-access sites, at additional cost.
Vehicle
Vehicle: A single-axle tilt-bed or flatbed for 20ft units, roughly 35 feet overall. A tandem-axle for 40ft standard and high-cube units, roughly 55 feet overall. A tri-axle or extendable trailer for 45ft to 53ft units, 65 feet and over.
Typical timing
Typical timing: Alaska is reached by sea, so lead times are longer than the mainland and depend on sailing schedules. We confirm the timing with the quote once the destination is known.
Pricing
Pricing: Priced by radial distance from the Seattle depot. The first 100 miles are the base rate; 101 to 300 miles adds $2.50 per mile over 100; 301 to 600 adds $2.00 per mile over 300; 601 to 1,200 adds $1.75 per mile over 600.
Minimum clearance
Minimum clearance: 15 feet of overhead clearance along the whole approach, and 80 feet of straight-line run for a 40ft container or 60 feet for a 20ft. The truck also needs a 50-foot turning radius.
Road width
Road width: 14 feet, with 12 feet the absolute minimum. The access road needs to carry 8,000 to 10,000 lbs per axle, on a firm surface — concrete, asphalt, gravel or dry level dirt, on nothing steeper than a 5% grade.
Gate width
Gate width: 14 feet at the narrowest point of the opening.
Delivery radius
Delivery radius: 3000 miles

Buying and delivery in Alaska

Do you deliver shipping containers in Alaska?

Yes, statewide, served from our Seattle depot. Delivery is to your site; give us the ZIP code and the access and we will confirm the cost and the lead time.

Do you deliver shipping containers to Alaska?

Yes. Because the route runs by sea it is quoted individually — tell us the destination and the container and we will set out the routing, cost and timing.

How are containers delivered to remote Alaska?

By barge to the nearest port terminal, then by truck where the road system reaches. Genuinely remote sites off the road network may need collection from the terminal. The sea leg means seasonal windows, so plan well ahead.
