Supporting Safer Work Environments with Reliable Access Solutions
About Industrial Sulfur Transport
Sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe, accounting for nearly 3% of Earth’s total mass. It plays a crucial role in producing rubbers, detergents, fungicides, plastics, fertilizers, and sulfuric acid, the world’s most widely used chemical.
Globally, approximately 70 million tons of sulfur are produced annually, primarily as a byproduct from petroleum refineries and natural gas plants. The growing demand for sulfur presents molten sulfur transport facilities with unique safety and operational challenges, requiring specialized loading systems and compliance with OSHA sulfur handling safety requirements.
How Is Molten Sulfur Transported?
Molten sulfur transport requires maintaining a specific temperature range to keep the material in liquid form while preventing dangerous vapor buildup. Before transport, sulfur is heated to its melting point of 239°F, and during transit, it must remain between 266°F and 309°F to ensure safe loading and unloading.
If sulfur exceeds 309°F, it can generate sulfur dioxide, a toxic gas that is fatal if inhaled. Additionally, high concentrations of sulfur vapor combined with water vapor can trigger explosions. Since liquid sulfur is highly flammable, sulfur loading platforms and bulk liquid sulfur loading equipment must be designed to mitigate heat exposure risks and protect workers.

SafeRack is already a recognized leader in the industry. SafeRack is already a recognized leader in the industry. The product was delivered quick considering the location of our site. The design fits with our needs and allows our workers to work in a safe environment. Overall, customer service could work on communication between sales reps, engineering drawings and specs were easily accessible, the product quality is good so far, delivery was on time and packaging was great with no damage. Pricing is a bit above the competition but you're paying for quality.
By Cedric B. from Orica Canada Inc.
I like the quality materials used. 1. Great customer contact abilities 2. Ability to customize with small changes 3. Willingness to ship to a facility in larger components. I liked the quality materials used, and the visual impact of the equipment. From what we've seen so far, the functionality is also a great positive.
By Jim M. from Marathon Petroleum Company LP
All positive experiences. I would recommend those gangways. They work great and bolted up with no issues. John Bast responded immediately – all positive experiences.
By Brian W. from Kerman Ag Resources
Safe, easy to operate gangways – and a great company, too. Everyone is very friendly and professional with me. I received updates on when the unit will ship from Customer Service and they worked with us on what carriers we want them to ship it with. Safety for the truck drivers using the gangways is important. They are easy to operate for all types of people. Springs are very easy to adjust. Foot lock lever seems to work well. I would recommend your product because it has been a good product for us and I really think that the customer service that goes along with a great product cannot be beaten. Good product and a good company to go along with it.
