There are Three People You Never Want to Talk To
The City Attorney, the EPA Inspector, or your Driver’s Widow.
The Threat of Transporting Liquid Loads
Liquid Surge is a dangerous, constant threat when transporting liquid loads. Every year there are over 1300 cargo tank rollover accidents, with 94% of them happening under partial loads.
Stop The Threat of Liquid Surge
Most businesses simply try to mitigate the risk to their drivers and their bottom line, accepting liquid surge as something which is inevitable. But it doesn’t have to be.
Eliminate Liquid Surge with Surge Busters
With Surge Busters you can eliminate 96% of liquid surge from ever impacting your vehicles. This means less maintenance costs, lower responsibility and risk for your drivers, and less long term financial impact.
Surge Busters are THE Solution to Liquid Surge
Liquid surge is one of the greatest risks to any moving partially filled tanker. Sudden changes in direction, stops, and even starts can cause a potentially disastrous momentum buildup in liquid surge energy.
There are over 1300 cargo tank rollover accidents every year, and 94% of them occur with partially filled loads due to liquid surge.
Most people think that there’s little that can be done about the liquid surge itself other than to train drivers to drive very carefully and avoid an energy surge as much as possible.
But driving conditions and situations are never consistent. For example, you can’t control when a car suddenly pulls in front of you or slams on their brakes unexpectedly, forcing you to swerve, leading to a sideways surge of liquid which inevitably causes your tanker to roll over.
Yet, if you examine accident reports and recommendations, the blame and responsibility come back to the driver, as they are expected to manage that surge. The standard technical solutions are welded in baffles, which while better than nothing, hardly offer effective support in most situations.
Liquid Surge IS manageable with the proper equipment.
But most companies that transport partially filled liquid loads are either avoiding making the right decision OR aren’t aware that liquid surge can be reduced by over 96%, and with little relative cost.
We can easily prove liquid surge energy can be reduced by 96% because that’s exactly what our Surge Busters do.
You can read the evidence for yourself here.
Not only does it reduce liquid surge to almost unnoticeable levels, but it does so at a lower cost than all other baffling solutions.
Every day that you run trucks with partially filled liquid loads, and you DON’T have Surge Busters, you are operating with a verifiably higher level of RISK to your business and your employees.
Accidents mean repair costs, insurance costs, lost cargo costs, and potentially lost employee costs, tosay nothing of potential legal costs.
Using Surge Busters benefits you with higher Driver Retention and Acquisition, better Operational Safety, higher Transport Capacity compared to other baffling systems, lower Maintenance, and higher long-term investment ROI compared to other safety systems.
Lowest Risk, Easiest Solution, Greatest ROI
If you want the LOWEST risk while transporting partially filled liquid loads, with the EASIEST to implement solution, bringing you the GREATEST ROI of any liquid surge safety system out there …
Surge Busters are your answer.
Surge Busters are dynamic drop-in baffles. They are made from virgin polypropylene, simple to assemble and add to any tank.
Unlike standard fixed-in-place baffles, Surge Busters control liquid surge in every direction, and dissipate 96% of the energy. Because they are flexible polypropylene and aren’t attached to anything in your tank, they CAN’T damage your tank. They are easy to clean and work well with hot or cold liquids.
Here is a great visual representation of the energy reduction with Surge Busters, in the video you also get to briefly see the larger 15” Surge Busters being added to a tanker.
We’ve also shared miniature tanker examples so you can see inside a liquid tanker, partially filled, with no baffles, and with surge busters.
Our devices are used in a WIDE variety of scenarios where baffling of liquids is required and necessary for operation – especially in the cases where partially full loads are likely to see movement (as these present the greatest danger and impact on operation).
Surge Busters can even be added to existing baffled or compartmentalized trucks, providing an easy retrofit solution which requires NO changes made to your current tank. The additional benefits are amazing, and well documented.
They are also a great solution for new trucks, as you don’t need to go through the added expense and hassle of adding welded-in baffles (which hardly do the job well anyway).
The amount and type of Surge Busters you use for your tankers depends on the size of the tank and the type of liquid being transported (denser and, therefore, heavier liquids require more Surge Busters).
