When shipping mined product, many of our clients turn to railcar shipping in order to transport higher weights and lower their shipping costs. While shipping by railcar helps solve the problem of weighing out before cubing out, the damage possibilities due to humping railcars open up a whole new set of damage-related problems to consider. Fortunately, DPC has a solution for a safe journey.

Load Diagram for Mined Product Load

Here is an example of a customized load securement solution we have created for mined product traveling by rail.

Void fillers are positioned between the palletized product to secure the load and alleviate side-to-side shifting in transit. Protecto-Cell Panels are used in conjunction with air bags to further protect the bagged product from end-to-end shifting and ensure a safe trip. Protecto-Cell Panels are also used as separator sheets between pallets to prevent products from rubbing against the wood pallet and becoming punctured.

Success Stories

We have created successful load securement solutions for transporting mined products for such industry leading clients as Cargill Salt and BPM (Haliburton Company).

We provide loading diagrams and demonstrations of proper pallet loading to protect your load in transit, and provide instructional tools to train your staff.
