SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT FLEET

Our dry bulk division features purpose-built trailers to meet the exact needs of your operation.

  • Pneumatic tankers for clean, enclosed transport and pressurized unloading
  • Hopper bottom trailers for fast, gravity-fed delivery of granular materials
  • End dumps for rugged hauls in construction and demolition

Every unit is maintained to KAG’s rigorous safety and reliability standards.

TERMINALS AND WAREHOUSING

Efficient terminals reduce turnaround times, costs, and environmental impact. These facilities are designed to load/unload, store, and transfer bulk materials. Reliable storage helps manage supply chains, buffer seasonal demand fluctuations, and reduce spoilage or contamination.

  • On-site and Mobile Silos
  • Transloading Equipment: Conveyor Systems, Cranes, Hoppers
  • Dust control systems
  • Warehouses for dry bulk (depending on commodity)
  • Blending facilities (for materials like cement or fertilizers)

We continue to strategically build our dry bulk transportation platform through acquisitions that complement our current dry bulk operations, which have grown significantly. This also fulfills the needs of many of our current liquid bulk customers who also manufacture and distribute dry bulk materials.

INDUSTRY SEASONALITY

Dry bulk carriers must be ready to flex fleet capacity and schedules based on seasonal commodity flows.

  • Agricultural Seasons: Harvests drive huge spikes in grain and feed transport.
  • Construction Cycles: Cement, stone, and sand spike in spring/summer.
  • Winter Demand: Salt and sand for road treatment increase in cold-weather states.

  • Real-time tracking and load visibility
  • Route optimization and ELD compliance
  • Experienced dispatch and brokerage support
