Protect personnel, product, and terminals with proven static grounding systems from CarbisThe -Rite RTR™ is the most advanced Road Tanker Grounding (Earthing) System for protecting personnel and plant assets from static hazards during road tanker loading and offloading operations.
- Explosion-proof control enclosure incorporating intrinsically safe static ground monitoring n Explosion-proof control enclosure incorporating intrinsically safe static ground monitoring interface module
- Ground connection junction box with clamp stowage point and quick release connector
- Heavy-duty stainless steel universal grounding clamp with hytrel™ extendable cable and quick connectors
Mode 1 | Tank Truck Recognition
Confirms RTR clamp is connected to tank truck and not other grounded/ungrounded objects
Mode 2 | Positive Ground Recognition
Confirms RTR clamp is connected to tank truck and not other grounded/ungrounded objects
Mode 3 | Ground Connection Monitoring
Confirms clamp connection and ground connection are good throughout transfer process by ensuring connectionresistance does not rise above 10 ohms

Tanker Truck Grounding
The loading and unloading of tank trucks with large quantities of chemicals and powders generates static electricity which, if left to accumulate on a tank truck, could discharge electrostatic sparks with energies far in excess of the minimum ignition energies of a vast range of combustible gases, vapours and dusts. The ignition of such atmospheres by static electricity can be prevented by ensuring the tank truck is grounded.
