TRANSLOADING SERVICES
Served by major railroads, regional rail carriers and short lines, SuperFlo's national rail transfer network can accommodate virtually any logistics requirement. SuperFlo facilities have extensive railcar capacity, transferring millions of pounds of product annually. We also ship product in IBC's (totes) and ISO tank containers.
PRODUCT STORAGE and BLENDING SERVICES
One of our current SuperFlo locations serving the chemical industry features sixteen storage tanks with a total capacity exceeding 270,000 gallons. This allows flexibility for custom blending of product and quick response to short term inventory needs, while optimizing railcar utilization. The facility also features over 4,000 feet of stainless steel piping to move product from railcar to storage tank to tank truck, or directly from railcar to tank truck. An onsite laboratory prepares product Certificates of Analysis.
At a food grade SuperFlo site, dual railroad service to this state-of-the-art, 100-railcar facility offers customers competitive options. With intra-facility railcar switching done by SBL, direct railcar-to-tank truck transloading is enhanced by the option of transloading liquid products from railcar to indoor, temperature-controlled storage tanks, and dry bulk products from railcars to silos. Sugar-melting capability is available onsite to facilitate inbound rail deliveries of dry bulk sugar, as well as tank storage and outbound bulk truck shipments of liquid sugar. An onsite laboratory provides product sample analysis; pasteurization and microbial sampling services also are available.A SEAMLESS APPROACH TO LOGISTICS SERVICES
SuperFlo can coordinate transloading services with other elements of your distribution chain. You'll benefit from multi-modal efficiencies, with the assurance of having one family of companies serve all your bulk transloading and trucking needs.
ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST BULK TRANSFER NETWORKS
From California to Maine, our rail transfer facilities are seamlessly supported by the infrastructure and resources of Superior Bulk Logistics' bulk truck companies, Superior Carriers and Carry Transit. While we offer broad geographic coverage, if your business is unable to utilize an existing SuperFlo site, or if you prefer a dedicated transloading operation, we'd welcome the opportunity to create a new SuperFlo facility in your area.
