What’s Mobile Transloading?

Mobile transloading is the process of moving a shipment from one method of transportation to another – pipeline to truck, truck to rail, rail to ship, or another combination – using a moveable unit. Exact specifications can be tailored to suit an application, but it’s generally comprised of a four-wheeled towable trailer, fixed stairwell and platform, and gangway with a safety cage. The flat area underneath the stairwell can be outfitted with equipment that supports the safe and effective movement of media. 

When transloading needs to occur, the platform is easily wheeled between the offloading and onloading transport locations, such as truck and railcar. Mobile transloading makes it simple to move products to the most appropriate transportation mode for final delivery, offering various benefits. 

  • Cost Effective
  • Expands Your Reach
  • Improves Efficiency
  • Reduces Injury Dangers
  • Simplifies Operations 
  • Environmentally Friendly 

Shipping bulk or heavy materials can create challenges, but mobile transloading enables you to consolidate or separate shipments as needed. For example, you use trains to make the longest journey before switching to truck for final delivery. 

Mobile transloaders have been shown to increase worker and environmental safety, a top consideration for businesses today. Gangways can support fall-protection equipment or incorporate cages, protecting vital personnel from accidents. Trailers can also accommodate pumps, meters, filters, sensors, overfill-prevention devices, emergency shut-off valves, transfer lines, and other equipment, which minimizes environmental damage associated with spills.

Who’s Best For Mobile Transloading?

Any company moves media from one transport mode to another can benefit from mobile transloading skids. Common fluids transferred using this method include: 

  • Propane
  • Ethanol
  • Crude Oil
  • Biofuels
  • Chemicals
  • Aviation Fuel
  • Natural Gas Liquids, OR NGL 
  • Liquefied Petroleum Gas, OR LPG
  • Other Refined Petroleum Products

Mobile transloading is especially advantageous for operations in regions without fully built infrastructure. As wheeled assemblies, they can be easily placed into position for offloading and moved to a new one or onloading. This equipment is a cost-effective way to precisely transfer fluids without hulking infrastructure, a windfall for those looking to develop business in remote destinations.
