PetroLiance Chooses SafeRack for Railcar Spill Containment

PetroLiance, an industrial lubricant distributor, relies on SafeRack railcar spill containment products, not just for EPA and OSHA compliance, but to protect our environment from harmful chemicals as well. At SafeRack, we highly value the safety of our workers, and the safety of our planet.

Learn about our New Railroad Track Construction – SafeRack has over 400 years of collective experience designing, manufacturing and building multi-unit rail loading platforms and terminals.

Capture hazardous spills from railroad tanker cars

Accidents happen—especially is transferring bulk liquids and other chemicals into railcars. And when those materials are hazardous, they pose significant risks to your workers, the environment, and your bottom line. Thankfully, SafeRack offers numerous products designed to mitigate the risks associated with leaks and spills that occur during the loading or unloading of railcars. Each solution—whether metal or Polyethylene — is built to contain spills and leaks at the source and help prevent a small problem from becoming much larger and costly.

  • Modular Railcar Track Pan design can be customized to meet your specific railroad spill containment needs can be added to protect any length of railroad track.
  • Solutions for collecting small leaks OR to capture and channel off larger spills caused by defective equipment or a major overflow.
  • An economical, easy to install railroad spill solution.
  • Durable and long-lasting with an estimated usable work span of 20-30 years.

Key Features:

  • Modular design – Center and Side Pans are 53.5″ long; railroad spill containment areas can be easily assembled to any length desired
  • All-polyethylene construction – Rugged Track Pans function in temperatures ranging from -40°F to +140°F and designed to withstand harsh chemicals.
  • Sealed System – Polyethylene gaskets keep spills from falling between the rails and Pans. Trucks and other vehicles can drive over Track Pans with grates in place*.
  • Below grade piping – All Center and Side Track Pans are molded with pipe fitting locators at their lowest point. Below grade piping can be installed to channel large spills to oil/water separators, holding ponds, etc.
  • The unique stormwater feature is designed to eliminate “pooling” of rain that falls on top of the Center Pan Covers; rain is channeled onto the ballast between the tracks, stays out of the Pans.
  • Low Maintenance – unlike carbon steel track pans, Ultra-Track Pans will not rust or corrode. Polyethylene resin is treated with a UV inhibitor, resists the degrading effects of the sun.
  • Low-Cost Installation — Lightweight Track Pans can be easily installed without heavy lifting equipment, i.e., forklifts, cranes, backhoes, etc. Minimal tools and labor required.
  • Slip Resistant Surfaces – Pans, grates and covers have been designed with safety in mind. All top surfaces resist slips when wet or oily.

Options:

  • Optional Track Pan Covers keep rainwater out of the Pans, providing effective stormwater management.
  • Polyethylene Covers are left in place until the railcar(s) arrive to be off-loaded or loaded. Lightweight covers mechanically lock into the polyethylene decking and will not blow off in windy conditions.
  • Ultra-Track Pans Are Available In Two (2) Models:
  • Track Pans and Grates, No Covers
  • Track Pans with Grates and Covers

Compliance:

  • Meets SPCC and EPA Stormwater Management Regulations.
  • Also meets New York State Chemical Bulk Storage Regulation Section 599.17c — Secondary Containment for Transfer Stations.

A supplier that can make things happen.

SafeRack worked to get it out cross-country, on time, despite bad weather and shortage of employees due to it. Stayed in touch from order to delivery. A supplier that can make things happen.

With SafeRack, you’re not just purchasing products, you are partnering with experience that allows for a successful finished project.

I knew from the beginning that I needed to have SafeRack gangways… One of our counterpart facilities started with your product and ended up with another (competitor’s product). Feedback from our counterparts was that they had made a mistake and should’ve gone with SafeRack… SafeRack provides full support throughout the process. We found that we were purchasing a high quality product that is supported by qualified individuals within SafeRack’s organization. Our sales rep, Travis McCraine, came to our facility to assist with design and application. We learned that SafeRack is not just offering high quality products, rather becomes part of the solution toward finished projects. Very stream lined process…From the first visit to our facility by Travis, to the actual design and implementation of our specific needs. Thanks to the entire staff at SafeRack for their solution toward a successful loading system. With SafeRack, you’re not just purchasing products, you are partnering with experience that allows for a successful finished project.

The product was delivered like a cheetah with a booster rocket attached to it’s back! I’ve found that I never have to look for another supplier for anything having to do with loading or unloading racks again. What’s left to say? Buy from SafeRack! You will be completely satisfied.

Allows operators safe access to the top of rail cars.

We used to take product samples from rail cars as well as open vent hatches for unloading. This can now be done at our unloading zone as opposed to hundreds of yards down the track where our stationary stand resides. This also allows operators safe access to the top of rail cars without having to use ladders or a safety harness to tie off.
