Truck and Railcar Skids
Trains and trucks carry fluids all over the place, but transferring them for storage, processing, or onward transit is risky business – especially when hazardous chemicals are involved. Without the right equipment, leaks or spills that hurt productivity and the environment may occur.
Remove uncertainty from your fluid transfer process with truck and railcar unloading skids from Safe Harbor. Through partnerships with leading service providers, we can manufacture liquid loading and unloading skids tailored to your specifications. As a result, you’ll save money while minimizing workplace safety and environmental risks.
Truck And Railcar Loading And Unloading Skid Benefits
These are fluid transfer systems – pumps, meters, sensors, transfer lines or loading arms, meters, and controls – mounted atop an industrial skid. Comprised of a high-strength platform and runners or stringers, the skid pulls double-duty. It acts as a permanent foundation for the loading and unloading equipment while providing a secure location for forklift tong placement, making movement safe and easy.
When fluid transfer operations need to occur, the skid is moved into place. The transfer lines or loading arms are securely connected to the truck or railcar, and fluid movement commences.
There are many benefits to incorporating a railcar or truck loading and unloading skid into your operations. Examples include:
- Saves Money
- Minimizes Spills And Leaks
- Expands Your Reach
- Improves Efficiency
- Reduces Injury Dangers
- Simplifies Operations
- Environmentally Friendly
- OSHA certified
Railcar and truck loading and unloading skids have been shown to increase worker and environmental safety, a top consideration for businesses today. They can accommodate pumps, meters, filters, sensors, overfill-prevention devices, emergency shut-off valves, and other equipment, which minimizes spill and leak risks.
If your application involves top loading, personnel may work at heights. Stairways with platforms and gangways that support fall-protection equipment or cages can be incorporated into a skid design.

When it comes to loading and unloading skids, there are many options to choose from. Safe Harbor is dedicated to earning your trust by providing quality products on time and in budget with superior service.
Contact us to learn more about truck and railcar loading and unloading skids.
Assessment
We sit down with you to learn about your media transfer process, the constraints being faced, and how they can be overcome. From there, our team comes up with a design that’s presented to you for review. We utilize Process and Instrumentation Diagrams, or PNIDs, general arrangement drawings, and 3D models to make it easy to understand what’s being proposed or make changes.
Fabrication
Once the design is approved, full-scale production kicks off. Quality is paramount, but the turnaround time is fast. Testing is performed upon request, and you’re kept informed throughout the manufacturing process.
Delivery
The turnkey loading and unloading skid is shipped to your location upon assembly completion. If you’re satisfied, we hope you consider us in the future.
