Brief:A bottom hose loading arm takes it a step further by using a flexible hose instead of rigid pipes, paired with API couplers, to connect to the bottom valves of tanker trucks or railcars. This design lets the arm adapt to the tanker's position, making the transfer process cleaner and more efficient.
Brief:A top loading arm with a piggyback line is designed to load liquids—like diesel or chemicals—into tankers from above, offering flexibility for facilities without bottom-loading infrastructure, while simultaneously recovering the vapors displaced during the process. The “piggyback” part refers to a secondary arm or hose attached to the main liquid arm, which captures and redirects vapors back to a recovery system.
Brief:A heat tracing system, a clever setup that wraps the arm in warmth to prevent the liquid inside from thickening or solidifying. Heat tracing loading arms keep fluids at the perfect temperature so they don't turn into stubborn sludge mid-transfer.
Brief:Folding stairs are used for operators to bridge the distance between loading platform and tank cars or rail tankers. The stairway features a galvanized carbon steel construction, with handrails, anti-skid steps, and spring cylinder balancing.
Brief:A top loading arm is a pipe system engineered to transfer liquids (or even gases) through an open manhole or hatch, ensuring every drop ends up where it's supposed to. Unlike hoses, which can kink, or wear out, top loading arms are sturdy, articulated systems with swivel joints and counterbalances that make them easy to maneuver. They're the backbone of industries like petrochemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, where safe and efficient liquid transfer is non-negotiable. The top loading arms allow the transfer of fluids to tank trucks, railways in a safe and effortless way for the operator.
Brief:Safety break-away couplings are used to prevent pull away accidents, protect terminal and loading/unloading equipment and eliminated unwanted product release. The break-away coupling has a diverted breaking point which will break at a determined break-load where upon the internal valves will automatically close on both sides.
Brief:Safety break-away couplings are used to prevent pull away accidents, protect terminal and loading/unloading equipment and eliminated unwanted product release. The break-away coupling has a diverted breaking point which will break at a determined break-load where upon the internal valves will automatically close on both sides. This type is internally lined with PTFE, both for flanges and body, and is equipped with a special seal, making it suitable for extremely aggressive products.
Brief:A swivel joint is a mechanical device designed to allow rotational movement between two connected components while maintaining a sealed pathway for fluid or gas transfer. In loading arms, swivel joints act as articulations that connect rigid pipes or hoses, enabling 360-degree rotation in one or more planes. This flexibility prevents stress on pipelines, reduces wear on hoses, and accommodates the movement of tankers, railcars, or ships during loading and unloading operations. Swivel joint is the main component of loading arm. Each loading arm has four or five swivel joints for rotating smoothly. Swivel joint makes loading arm moving like a hose and convenient to be connected with any truck/train within working envelope.
PERFECT Swivel joint is designed as “two ball tracks” structure for large bearing loads and rotates without any lagging and oil leakage. It is the ideal swivel joint for nearly all applications in the oil & chemical industry.
Brief:A bottom loading arm is a specialized equipment that attaches to the underside of a tanker truck or railcar, rather than the top. These arms use a system of rigid pipes and swivel joints to reach the tanker's bottom valves or adapters, making the transfer process cleaner and faster.
Brief:Bottom Vapor Recovery Loading Arm, also called bottom loading arm with piggyback line, is a specialized piece of equipment used to load or unload liquids—think gasoline, diesel, or chemicals—into tankers from the bottom, while simultaneously recovering vapors displaced during the process. The “piggyback” part refers to a secondary arm or hose, attached to the main liquid arm, that captures and redirects vapors back to a recovery system.
