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.

What Customers Are Saying
We needed a OPW Right Tension Spring Cover and SafeRack Delivered! The folks at SafeRack were very helpful! We explained what we were looking for and they helped us out in verifying that it was, in fact, what we needed!
By Lisa Y. from Walkers Certified Welding, Inc
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
Fantastic product with superb workmanship. We would absolutely recommend SafeRack. Great company to work with, and very adaptable. We like both the ease of use of the gangways and Scott Hite's experience and assistance in our project. We are building a state of the art railcar loading facility in some pretty harsh conditions. Mistakes and errors can really slow or stop our progress. SafeRack took away that concern by providing us with a quality product, that we didn't need to worry about following the manufacturing path. Delivered when and what they promised. We see a long relationship with SafeRack. They have helped us through some difficult design decisions and took the load on themselves. This freed us up to deal with other non-related design aspects. We had some shipping damage issues, that we worked through with SafeRack. Both companies have taken steps to keep this from happening in the future. Fantastic product with superb workmanship.

The whole organization operates on a professional level. The whole organization operates on a professional level. Very friendly and knowledgeable in their areas. The sale rep, Stephen Todd, came out and was very nice and knew his business.
By Ralph S. from Essroc Cement Company
I'll be a customer for life. The ErectaStep system was exactly as our salesman stated… OSHA approved, high quality aluminum and really fit the needs of what we were looking for… and it arrived exactly when Chris Hite said it would. Each time I contacted my salesman, he jumped right on it. SafeRack will always be my first stop when I need anything for our facilities. The care and courtesy we received from Chris and each SafeRack representative has created a customer for life. Thank you Chris.

Excellent follow up! The product was delivered the day that I got the shipping email – and it was shipped promptly. Excellent follow up! Kenny Rogers called to triple check that I understood what I was ordering. Much easier than I imagined it would be.
