The fixed platform with stair unit, that the gangway and safety cage is mounted to, used to get on top of the car, is bolted to a trailer and moved around a yard from car to car and typically pulled by a heavy duty truck. The transload unit will also have equipment such as pumps, compressors, controls and meters used for loading or unloading. This is a common setup used to load or offload between rail cars and trucks where top access is required to open domes for filling and or venting, connect hoses or insert loading arms. The need to move into the market quickly once contracts are negotiated has remained consistent, and the need to utilize the asset at multiple sites is increasing, with moving the mobile transloader an area that can be costly and a logistics challenge.įor this discussion, we will assume this is a mobile transload unit with a fixed platform and stair, and uses a gangway with safety cage for safe access and fall protection. There is an increasing demand to utilize mobile transloading units to move products like propane, butane, crude oil, condensates, ethanol, bio-diesel and refined fuels all over the USA and Mexico, between rail cars and trucks.
