Acid/Specialty Tank Cars

Safely transporting acids requires railcars specially designed for the task. We offer cars featuring acid-resistant, high-bake epoxy coatings or rubber linings, as well as special fittings and unloading systems capable of handling a variety of products including sulfuric acid, oleum, ferric choloride, hydorcholoric acid, phosphoric acid, and hydrofluorosilicic acid. Our railcars use product-specific linings and coatings specifically designed to protect tank shell integrity and product purity. Some railcars are fitted with loading and unloading devices on a single nozzle, protecting workers and the environment. Exterior paint is designed to withstand contact to corrosive commodities.
