Asphalt Refinery Improves Distributionwith New Rail Car Loading System

Since the new loading system hasbeen in operation, the benefit that'sbeen easiest to track is the change inshipping volume, which rapidlydoubled. "We believe the cost for thenew rack was paid for in the first yearof its inception through the returns onthe volumes shipped," says Fajen.More importantly, in 1999, its two railsuppliers, Norfolk Southern Corp. andCSX Corp., recognized the Savannahrefinery for outstanding safety in railcar shipping.

The rail car loading system has oper-ated without a single incident sincethe new Carbis rack was installed.Overall, says Fajen, it has provided amore efficient and safe process to hisrefinery's distribution system.

Truck and Rail Terminal

I would like to extend my sincere thanksto Carbis, Inc. for supplying our companywith superb service and quality products.The sales representatives have been veryknowledgeable and responsive to ourneeds.

We recently expanded our Propane andButane Rail/Trucking terminal to includetransfer and storage of denatured Ethanol.With the inclusion of your Bottom LoadingA-Frame 4” liquid product arms on ourtruck loading racks, the new venture hasbeen a success. Many of the drivers claimthat we have the fastest and most efficientEthanol loading system of any terminalthey have loaded at, and that the Carbisarm is extremely user friendly.

Please keep up the good work, and thanksagain for providing such excellent service.

Sincerely,

Matthew S. Hiltz

Truck and Rail Loading Racks

I would like to thank Carbis, Inc. for supplying us withsuperb service and quality products. The Carbis supportstaff has been very knowledgeable and responsive toour needs.

The Fieldsboro, NJ site purchased its first Tank Truck /Seatainer Access System in the year 1998. The systemwas such a success that we installed an additional 4 likeunits, 3 portable units, 2 stand-alone units, and 4 slidingunits at our rail car station. The reliability of our Carbisequipment is tremendous. This equipment is used dailyaround the clock with minimum downtime. When wehave had the need to replace minor components andmake field modification, Carbis engineers were able toassist us without hesitation.

I have never called Pat or Tug and not have them returnmy call with a solution to my inquiry. Your focus on cus-tomer service is greatly appreciated.

It is a testimony to me that I have befriended Pat Tiltonand Tug; I do not usually have close relationships withsales personnel. Keep up the good work, and alwayskeep customer focus first.

Whenever flammable liquids or powders aretransferred, or wherever there is a risk of con-ductive plant items becoming isolated fromground within hazardous locations, effectivegrounding and bonding is necessary to ensuresafe dissipation of static electricity to preventfires and explosions which can be ignited bystatic.

Flatbeds

For Loading and Tarping Applications

Accessing flatbed trailers for tarping/securing loads can be very dangerous. A fall from a traileris potentially life threatening.

Carbis’ flatbed fall prevention platforms help prevent falls from flatbeds while tarping, inspect-ing loads...etc.


How it works

■ The flatbed truck drives between the two fallprevention platforms

■ With the press of a button, the platformsmove together, sandwiching the trailer in themiddle

■ Now personnel can safely access the deck ofthe flatbed trailer for tarping, sampling, etc.without the fear of falling

There’s no question that the use of articulated pipesystems for marine loading and unloading bulk liquidcargo from barges and small ships is the better way tocomplete the task

■ Faster and more economical: one person can do the workof two or more in a fraction of the time

■ Safer: the potential for injury and all of its costs is reduced toits lowest when partial or full automation replaces brutestrength

■ More environmentally responsible: less risk of leaks andspills caused when “hoses rupture”
