Leaders in Kerosene/Jet Fuel Loading Safety Solutions
Kerosene, also known as paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid that is derived from petroleum.
Kerosene is typically pale yellow or colorless and has a not-unpleasant characteristic odor. It is obtained from petroleum and is used for burning in kerosene lamps and domestic heaters or furnaces, as a fuel or fuel component for jet engines, and as a solvent for greases and insecticides.

SafeRack delivers proven expertise, enhanced safety, productivity, superior engineering, and reliable on-site support.
Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline. Its flash point (the temperature at which it will generate a flammable vapor near its surface) is 38°C (100°F) or higher, whereas that of gasoline is as low as −40°C (−40°F). This property makes kerosene a relatively safe fuel to store and handle.
With a boiling point between about 150 and 300 °C (300–575°F), kerosene is considered to be one of the so-called middle distillates of crude oil, along with diesel fuel. It can be produced as “straight-run kerosene,” separated physically from the other crude oil fractions by distillation, or it can be produced as “cracked kerosene,” by chemically decomposing, or cracking, heavier portions of the oil at elevated temperatures.

What Customers Are Saying
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.

A good safety solution! We like the right angle approach in the unit design, and the never flat fire design. The delivery was faster than I expected. Everyone was very helpful, there were a lot of knowledgeable people ready to help. A good safety solution!
By Dustin C. from Aloi Materials Handling
Quality of fabrication and materials is outstanding! Time frame from concept/measurements to installation was reasonable. No better people to work with.
By Chris G. from NABS
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
I order from SafeRack because I always know they will exceed my expectations. With SafeRack, I look forward to placing orders with them because I know everything will be handled from when I order the product until I unload it off the delivery truck. I also know that if there is a problem, it will be handled quickly and professionally and they will stay in contact with me throughout the entire order and check up periodically to make sure everything is going OK. The product was delivered ahead of schedule as are most of the orders I place with SafeRack. The ease of installation is the best feature of the gangway. The construction, ease of use, and high visibility color scheme all make this a well rounded product.

The lead time was half that of the competition and that was the main reason we chose safe Rack for this project.
