Heavy Equipment Shipping to Guam

Published by Joe Webster.

Heavy Equipment Shipping to Guam

Looking for a cost-effective way to move your equipment from your door to Guam? The specialists at A1-AT have proven to be one of the most reliable teams for overseas hauling of cars and other types of vehicles in the U.S. today.

Since late 2018, our company has expanded our diverse services into trucking gear and other types of machinery within the country and overseas, including the U.S. island territory of Guam.

With over three decades of experience in the logistics industry, expanding our regular trucking services to ocean services including tools was only natural, and has since become the perfect solution for clients planning to make a move.

How Hauling Work?

Moving involves more than just packing boxes/crates and putting them on a truck or boat that arrives at a destination port. It's a complex process involving a network of companies working in tandem to move cargo worldwide. And, since we can't load heavy machinery in boxes, it adds another layer of complexity to the operation.

Companies such as ours are tasked with handling the intricacies of hauling so you don't have to worry about it.

Of course, it's still important that customers have an idea of how this service works to bring you peace of mind as we haul your cargo.

Preparing For Delivery

When comparing companies, don't forget to get a quote so you'll have an idea of how much the service will cost.

Use our FREE quote tool for an estimate of how much will it cost!

Step 1: Inspection

Document the condition of the equipment. This way, the insurance process will go much smoother in the unlikely event that something happens to the container or vessel.

Secure loose parts, attachments, doors, and tools. Alarm systems and batteries should be disconnected, and the manufacturer's details consulted if there are special requirements for shipment.

Step 2: Gather paperwork

Gather all necessary documents regarding ownership, registration, insurance, and whatever you are advised to provide. Furthermore, provide dimensions to allow seamless pickup and loading.

Step 3: Hand it over

Give the experts enough space and time to pick up the supplies or load it on the truck if you will not be dropping it off yourself.

If you're still unclear on your role, don't hesitate to contact your agent.

Importation Regulations

Though residents are considered U.S. citizens and it is a U.S. territory, every cargo vessel from the U.S. is subject to a different set of customs regulations.

The answer to the question you're asking is based on a combination of a treaty and federal regulations that are older than most of us, and too complex to explain in one sitting. They dictate that Guam lies outside of the customs territory of the United States. Therefore, when hauling anything there, the clearance authority is Guam's Customs and Quarantine Agency (GCQ).

A representative from the office will get you up to speed with the required documentation, necessary customs fees, permit needs, insurance, and any restrictions or limitations you may face when moving.

Moving Methods

The next matter you will be asked to consider is the most appropriate method.

Roro (roll-on/roll-off)

This is the simplest and cheapest method. Here, the machinery is driven directly onto the ship and will travel the distance open-air to all the elements. Upon delivery, it is driven off the vessel.

Lolo (lift on/lift off)

We load machinery that cannot be driven onto the ship with a crane onto the deck. It's then secured in place and moved in a similar open-air fashion before being unloaded via crane.

Flat Rack

Flat racks look like containers without the roof but with supporting walls at the ends. Flat racks are open-air but they may be wrapped for added cargo protection during shipment.

Container Method

It is still available for some tools and offers added protection against the elements. Some may be disassembled before they're loaded if too tall or wide to fit whole, and then the containers get stacked on the deck.

We're happy to assist you in figuring out which method is most suitable for your load. Call and let's discuss it together!

The A1-AT Guarantee

There's no shortage of companies in the U.S., however, the one you choose to haul can make or break your shipment.

We have a commendable tenure in the logistics industry and is the premier choice for services.

Competitive Pricing

Freight services aren't cheap, but this doesn't have to break the bank. Affordable, competitive freight rates are at the core of the us guarantee.

Experienced Staff

Our team has experience dealing with everything from small local to moving across the Pacific to Guam! We have the logistics covered, all you have to do is contact us to accommodate its journey.

Shipment Tracking

Your container and equipment are never out of reach. From the moment it leaves your door, to being loaded onto the boat and up to the point of delivery, you will be kept up-to-date on its every move.

All you need is a device with access to an internet connection. Or, just contact the office. Whatever's more convenient!

Storage Solutions

If you need temporary storage services when the equipment has moved, it's best to notify us before so we can plan. We can store it along with a couple of boxes till you're in the country.
