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.

Why not stick with top loading for all working conditions? Top loading risks falls, while bottom loading arms offer a safer and faster alternative.
Safety: Ground operation cuts fall risks, reducing accidents and protecting workers.
Efficiency: Multi-compartment loading saves time, boosting output.
Environmental: Vapor recovery reduces emissions.
Durability: Robust materials handle tough conditions, cutting costs.
Versatility: Fits various industries and fluids.
By connecting at the bottom, operators avoid climbing, slashing fall risks. It’s like trading a tightrope walk for a stroll on flat ground—much safer.
These arms can fill several tanker compartments simultaneously, speeding up the process.
Bottom loading creates less agitation in the tank, lowering static electricity risks. No splash, no sparks.
Easily integrates with systems to capture escaping vapors, keeping the air clean. Imagine a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust—same idea, but for fumes.
With adjustable reaches and counterweights, they’re a breeze to handle.
The bottom arm is unloading chemical from tanker to storage tank, with break-away couplings standing by.
Liquid arm: 2” to 6” (DN50 to DN150), with 3” and 4” being for most tanks.
Vapor arm: typically 2” to 4” (DN50 to DN100).
Up to 2.5 MPa (25 bar), handling high-volume transfers.
-40°C to +200°C (-40°F to +392°F), covering cold storage to hot chemicals.
Fixed reach up to 120” (3 meters) or variable reach up to 20 feet.
Adapts to different tanker sizes and parking spots.
3 to 6 planes of rotation, ensuring flexibility for tight connections.
Keeps the arm nimble and precise.
Carbon Steel: The go-to for strength, often coated to fight rust.
Stainless Steel (SS304/SS316L): Used for corrosive or food-grade fluids.
Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel: The pivots that allow movement, built to last. They’re the hinges keeping the arm flexible.
PTFE & Viton: Seals that handle heat, pressure, and chemicals, ensuring no leaks.
Epoxy or Zinc: Protective layers to shield against corrosion.
This mix creates a loading arm that’s tough, adaptable, and ready for action across various industries.
Bottom loading arms come in sizes to match your needs:
2” (DN50): Ideal for low-flow, precise transfers like solvents.
3” (DN80): A versatile middle ground for many industrial uses.
4” (DN100): The go-to for high-flow fuel or chemical loading.
6” (DN150): Perfect for heavy-duty, high-volume moves like crude oil.
The size hinges on your flow rate, tanker type, and site layout. PERFECT LOADING offers custom sizes.
Loading gasoline or diesel. Bottom loading arms speed up refueling with multi-compartment efficiency.
Transferring corrosive chemicals. Their ground-level design and seals keep operators safe.
Moving edible oils or syrups. Stainless steel options prevent contamination.
Filling railcars or small vessels. Their long reach handles misaligned vehicles.
Handling toxic waste. These arms ensure safe, controlled disposal.
From fuel depots to waste sites, bottom loading arms keep operations flowing.
Bottom loading arms come with add-ons to boost performance:
Secure, leak-proof connections to tanker valves.
Capture fumes, keeping the air clean.
Snap apart safely during pull-aways, preventing spills.
Keeps heat in for viscous fluids.
Position the arm’s coupler to the tanker’s bottom valve, using swivel joints for flexibility.
Lock the API coupler onto the valve with a quick twist or snap—secure and tight.
Open the valve to start the flow, filling multiple compartments if needed.
Watch gauges or sensors for pressure and level, adjusting as required.
Close the valve, release the coupler, and retract the arm. Use breakaways if the tanker moves unexpectedly.
These arms are tough, but they’ve got quirks to watch:
Alignment Precision: Misaligned couplers can leak—get it right like fitting a key in a lock!
Maintenance: Seals and joints need regular checks to avoid wear.
Cost: Upfront investment is higher, but long-term savings shine.
Regular upkeep and proper training keep these arms in top form.
