Leaders in Kerosene & Jet Fuel Loading – Optimizing Safety, Reliability & Performance
Kerosene, also known as paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid derived from petroleum. It is commonly used in aviation fuel loading arms, domestic heating, and as a solvent for industrial applications. Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, with a flash point of 38°C (100°F) or higher, making it a relatively stable fuel for transport and storage.
With a boiling point between 150 and 300°C (300-575°F), kerosene is classified as a middle distillate of crude oil, similar to diesel fuel. It can be produced as straight-run kerosene, physically separated by distillation, or as cracked kerosene, created by breaking down heavier oil fractions at elevated temperatures.
SafeRack provides industry-leading jet fuel loading platforms and kerosene truck loading racks that ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in fueling operations. Our safe jet fuel loading systems incorporate grounding systems for jet fuel loading, spill containment measures, and ergonomically designed equipment to streamline workflow and protect personnel.
Jet Fuel Loading

Supporting Safer Work Environments with Reliable Access Solutions
Jet Fuel Loading Systems Designed for Safety, Reliability, and Operational Excellence
A typical jet fuel loading system includes multiple components designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency while meeting OSHA jet fuel loading requirements. SafeRack’s solutions are engineered to minimize risks and maximize throughput at fueling terminals.
- Bottom Loading Arms – Our aviation fuel loading arms are available in top and bottom configurations, featuring API couplings, Viton seals, and carbon steel or aluminum construction for durability.
- Grounding Systems – Proper grounding is critical for preventing static discharge and ensuring safe operations. SafeRack provides grounding systems for jet fuel loading that offer continuous electrical continuity through swivel joint bridge straps.
- Safety Shower & Eye Wash Stations – Essential for OSHA jet fuel loading requirements, these stations provide immediate decontamination in case of exposure to kerosene or aviation fuel.
- Spill Containment Measures – Designed to prevent environmental hazards, SafeRack’s containment systems help mitigate risks associated with jet fuel loading platforms.
- Loading Arm Support Towers – Provides structural stability for aviation fuel-loading arms, ensuring efficient and safe fueling operations.
- API Couplers & Swivel Joint Bridge Straps – Enhance flexibility and ease of use, providing secure and reliable connections between fueling equipment and transport vehicles.
- Parking Latch & Sensor Integration – Improves safety by ensuring proper alignment and secure storage of loading arms when not in use.
Products
Crude oil sample catchers and oil thieves
We offer Tulsa Oil Thieves in three models and five sizes. All of the sample catchers feature single trip (original with the Tulsa Thief), antifouling flat-ball assembly, a full opening horizontal closure system with rotating valve, two adjustable springs (one for closing tension and one for tripping tension for more flexible adjustment) and adjustable graduated trip rods that hold the thief in an upright position as a hydrometer cylinder.

What Customers Are Saying

Extremely satisfied! Quality of service, materials, and facility. Saferack's broad array of products and technical knowledge is second to none.
By Matt M. from Nexans

Incredibly fast. Incredibly fast. We had an emergency need for a customer, so we picked one up, in Andrews, the same day. Kim Anderson was very helpful. The customer is very appreciative of the fast service, when they had an emergency need for the product. They were very pleased to be able to get the gate the same day.
By Ronnie R. from Dillon Supply

My salesperson was the best, even with the severe weather that was occurring in their location, they were ready to help. The products were delivered very fast it seemed. The ergo design is nice and the operators appreciate this model the most – the safety yellow color, the design to allow this to be placed on either side of the trucks, and the low profile. All positive!
By Tim M. from Monsanto

We are saving about 4 weeks and a ton of money by going with this option. I am using the product as a platform for servicing a pressure vessel for ease and element of change out. I like the availability and how easy the product fit to my project. We are saving about 4 weeks and a ton of money by going with this option.

Exceptionally fast! Great quality and service… and level of safety.
By Romis R. from Ash Grove Cement
Very high quality and always in stock. I deal with Phyllis Sikes… She's always pleasant and very responsive, she called right back after checking stock with the factory. Your couplers are very high quality and they're always in stock. It arrived within 5 days of time ordered.
