Hauling Calcium Carbonate and other Abrassive Materials

We have just started hauling some Calcium Cabonate and Limestone and had an elbow on the supply line blow out.  With these materials being much more abrassive than the concrete poweder we typically haul, is there something we need to do to upfit the trailers and plumbing or is it just these materials are harder on the trailer/plumbing and need to be replaced more often? Just wanting to make sure I know what to expect on what maintenance will be for the trailers and how often.  Any certain pneumatic trailers better suited than others?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
