Our Services
Storage and Handling
With dedicated systems and cost-effective technology, Benchmark ensures the integrity of every product is maintained during receiving, storage, and shipping.
Transloading
We pride ourselves on optimizing the driver experience at Benchmark, meaning we get the truck loaded safely and efficiently with the right product and the proper paperwork.
Customized Heating Solutions
Benchmark works closely with its customers to design innovative and practical solutions for managing and maintaining products at their optimal temperatures. We utilize either steam or electrical systems, or combinations of both, to deliver the appropriate BTUs to meet product and customer specifications.
Nitrogen Blanketing
Benchmark maintains a 9,000-gallon liquid nitrogen tank and multiple evaporators to deliver a steady and reliable supply of nitrogen gas for products that are sensitive to oxidation, microbial growth, moisture, or other contamination risks. The nitrogen is used to evacuate oxygen from the critical open air space of storage tanks, railcars, tanker trailers, or ISO containers, and is used in the transloading processes.
Reliability and Redundancy
Redundancy is key to reliability. Benchmark proudly has at its disposal a 200kWh diesel-fired, backup electric generator that will maintain operations through unforeseen power outages. We operate 2 steam generators to ensure steam is always available when needed. We also maintain 2 Trackmobile railcar movers as well as multiple air compressors to supply clean, dry compressed air whenever needed.
Quality Control Processes
Benchmark employs the use of a quality control system focused on standards, procedures, processes, and checklists. Our goal is to meet or exceed the rigors of the food, pharma, water, and kosher industries while also meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements.
SPACIOUS
Benchmark sits on 65 acres of land with 20+ storage tanks, a modern barge dock, and nearly 100 railcar spots.
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED
Situated at about mile 479 of the Ohio River, Benchmark is a stone’s throw from Kentucky and Indiana. We are approximately 7 miles west of Downtown Cincinnati and the convergence of I-71 and I-75, and about 15 miles west of I-275 connecting to I-74 in Indiana.
RAIL ACCESS
With capacity for nearly 100 railcars, Benchmark is serviced overnight 5 times per week by CSXT Railroad on an open-gate basis. Nightly service ensures no disruption during daytime truck loading hours. Open-gate means that the railroad can simply drop and hook the nightly car placements and pulls. Benchmark performs all car placements within the railyard.
