Jet Fuel Loading
Kerosene/Jet Fuel Loading: Safe, Efficient & Compliant Solutions
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.

Yes. SafeRack’s carbon steel loading arms are built to safely transfer a wide range of energy products, including crude oil, LNG, and petrochemicals. With PTFE-sealed swivel joints for chemical resistance and vapor recovery systems for EPA compliance, these arms are designed to withstand harsh environments while maintaining safety and efficiency.
SafeRack provides a range of spill containment solutions, including pans, berms, and wheel chocks, to capture leaks during the transfer of oil, gas, and petrochemicals. These systems help energy facilities stay compliant with EPA regulations while protecting workers and the environment from hazardous spills.
Grounding is critical in energy operations to prevent static discharge, which can ignite flammable vapors during the transfer of crude oil, LNG, and refined fuels. SafeRack’s grounding and bonding systems ensure a secure ground connection before product flow begins, reducing fire and explosion risks and maintaining compliance with OSHA and NFPA standards.
Absolutely. SafeRack offers customizable access solutions, including gangways, platforms, stairs, and fall protection systems, specifically designed for the complex needs of energy facilities. Our modular systems are built to withstand harsh environments while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.

What Customers Are Saying
This product is the best one on the market today for ease of operation and functionality. Scott was very responsive and helpful along with Phyllis in getting everything taken care of. We like the ease of operation, the different swivel directions and the different styles of loading arms. I think this product is the best one on the market today for ease of operation and functionality.

The salespeople, the salespeople, and the salespeople. The salespeople, the salespeople, and the salespeople. Wonderful people take care of you through the whole process. I can always count on my rep to help me. I inadvertently placed 2 orders for a gangway when I just needed one. My rep called me to verify before she placed the order and I was able to cancel one of them. Not many places would be that caring or honest if they saw 2 orders come through. No obstacle would keep me from buying from SafeRack.
By Lyle K. from Buzzi Unicem
SafeRack exceeded the delivery we requested. Heather Schaller, my inside salesperson, was very helpful in getting proposals to me, and getting the order placed. We have a number of your gangways with safety cages, and our operators find them very user friendly. Construction is very good and the units look good in the plant. SafeRack exceeded the delivery we requested, allowing us to receive the product early. Thank you SafeRack and the SafeRack Team.
