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.
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

SafeRack is a major player in this market. John Nance was actually on site prior to placing the order. Very good impression! SafeRack is a major player in this market. With the ease of installation, good quality, and competitive prices, I would definitely buy again.
By Megan H. from The International Group

Better than the competition. Delivered ahead of promised schedule. Ease of operation, built to accommodate existing space and was installed in one day. We would definitely recommend, because it's just better than the competition.
By Michael C. from Maola Milk & Ice Cream

Quality products and good response when issues arise. Personally, I truly appreciate customer service. Many companies have similar products, they might be cheaper, better or worse. Regardless, it is always important to know that your sales engineer cares about your and your plant. Curtis and John have visited our plant multiple times, spoken with area supervisors as well as the operators (the most important ones). They have gained trust by showing quality products and good response when issues arise.
By Jon C. from Western Refining Company LP

Very fast – within a few days. Quick response to email request for quote within 1 day. We would recommend this product to anyone.
By Roger N. from Owens Corning

SafeRack came through! We had to do some gap filling on the ramp for our railcar fall protection unit. Your competitors could not supply the necessary products in time, but SafeRack came through with the add-ons……in time! Delivery time was as expected. Stephen Todd is always on top of things, keeping me informed. His communication throughout the project was excellent. We would recommend SafeRack because they supply good products.
