Could one missed check lead to a major incident? This practical guide explains how to safely prepare for road tanker offloading using expert advice, industry guidance and a proven pre-delivery checklist to help operators minimise risk and improve safety.
Carbis Loadtec, a leader in industrial equipment design and chemical tanker loading, is proud to announce the development of a custom metering skid for liquid and anhydrous ammonia, tailored explicitly for a prominent client in the Far East.
Our company, in its original form, was set up 24 years ago primarily to sell fluid loading and unloading systems. Increasingly, the company is supplying total solutions that make a difference to the whole working environment. These are focussed on making the operator functions safer, ergonomic and fool proof.
Loadtec Engineered Systems are delighted to announce the sale of their Marine Arm division to Woodfield Systems Ltd. Based in Whitstable, UK, Woodfield Systems have been manufacturing marine arms since the 1950s.
The evolution of the tanker loading process has been ‘glacial’. This is not due to any single reason, although money is often cited as one of the primary factors. But, is that still a justifiable reason to reject change?
Carbis Loadtec Group is the exclusive technical supplier of fall prevention systems and high-quality fluid transfer. We also specialise in bulk fluid transfer and operator safety during in-plant, road, rail and IBC filling operations.
Carbis Loadtec’s MD Alec keeler looks at the future of loading arms – automated loading arms – in the Spring edition of Storage Terminals Magazine
In emerging markets, we regularly see major chemical cargo owners and traders avoiding truck deliveries due to the difficulty to manage associated risks and the potential consequences of transport accidents.
The first Global Tank Storage Awards was filled with anticipation and excitement, and it did not disappoint on either front. The sold-out event, attended by 180 professionals from across the tank terminal sector, was hosted by international comedian Bob Maclaren and as guests dined on a sumptuous three course meal, they were entertained by a magician.
This small team of engineers are experts in how to fill and empty liquid tankers – and stop workers falling from height. They are specialists in transferring liquids on a large scale and make loading arms used to fill oil tankers.
The oil and gas industry is sometimes seen as something from the Jurassic age, much like the products it deals with, an industry where innovation and development lags behind the superfast digital age. Is this perception true? Alec Keeler, managing director of Loadtec Engineered Systems, begs to differ.
Alec Keeler is clearly the creative force behind Loadtec. He’s an ideas man with more than 30 years’ experience in the fluid transfer and fall prevention industry. He loves solving problems, even some that haven’t been encountered yet. We found out how he and the team at Loadtec delivered a solution to an extreme challenge.
