Polar Service Centers is now installing JARCO propane bobtails at its locations in Sacramento CA, Houston TX, and Spartanburg SC.

JARCO, a Polar company, will supply new and refurbished propane tanks and installation kits built at its factory in Salem Il. The Salem location also performs bobtail installations and change-outs primarily for customers in the Midwest.

"With four locations doing the work, we can install JARCO bobtails wherever it makes the most sense for the customer," says Mike Evans, president of Polar Service Centers. "That's a big advantage to propane marketers and distributors who want a consistent level of quality and service, and more control over vehicle-transportation costs."

Personnel in Sacramento, Houston, and Spartanburg have been trained and equipped to perform bobtail installations and change-outs. Additionally, Polar Service Centers in West Chester PA, Minneapolis MN, and Spokane WA have bobtail sales specialists in-house to coordinate specifications with the JARCO factory and the chassis manufacturer.

“These are the next logical steps in our continuing effort to leverage the Polar Service Center network for JARCO customers," said Evans. "Offering bobtail installations at these locations also makes PSC a stronger service organization overall."

Polar Service Centers has 28 locations in the United States. It acquired JARCO in November 2010.
