In many cases, heavy equipment is too large to be shipped inside a standard shipping container or on the deck of a RoRo ship that already has a full load of smaller trucks and vehicles. Some heavy equipment may be shipped in large containers, but for RoRo shipping to Hawaii, it is often necessary to ship heavy equipment alone on a ship.
When you call A-1 Auto Transport to schedule shipment for your heavy equipment, we will need to know the following information so that we can schedule the appropriate mode of transport:
- Make and model of the equipment you need shipped.
- A time frame that you want to have the equipment picked up (We work to schedule as close to the date you need as possible if we cannot schedule on the exact date)
- Location of pickup.
- Location of delivery.
- Whether you need to have the equipment delivered to the exit port on the mainland. Whether you need the equipment picked up and delivered from the port in Hawaii.
We offer tracking services so that you can keep track of your equipment while it is being shipped to Hawaii. Best of all, we work with you to make sure your equipment can legally be taken to Hawaii by ensuring that it fits all standards for heavy machinery as required by governing laws.
