PERFECT LOADING
Carbon steel, SS304, SS316L
Why not just use a hose or a bottom loading system? Hoses wear out, kink, and are a pain to store, while bottom loading requires specific tanker fittings. Top loading arms offer a middle ground: they’re durable, easy to use, and work with most tankers. They’re not too simple, not too complex, but just right.
Here’s why chemical & oil industries love and choose top loading arms:
Efficiency: Reach multiple compartments without repositioning, saving time and effort.
Safety: Vapor recovery and breakaway couplings reduce risks, protecting workers and the environment.
Durability: Built to last, even with corrosive or high-temperature liquids.
Cost-Effective: Less maintenance and fewer spills mean more money in your pocket.

Automatic alignment top loading arm is a superior loading equipment compared with the manually operated one.
It is equipped with a servo motor and a hatch port detection sensor, which makes it automatically locating the manhole and driving inner arm and outer arm for loading.
The electrical engineer is commissioning the loading arm.
Commissioning for balance. Size:DN50, with a gate valve, and loose flange connection.
Top loading arms come with swivel joints that let them twist, turn, and extend like a gymnast doing a routine. This flexibility means they can reach multiple compartments on a tanker without needing to reposition the vehicle. Ever tried parking a massive truck perfectly at the designated position ? It’s not easy, but top loading arms make it solved.
Top loading arms are designed with safety in mind. Features like vapor recovery systems capture harmful gases, while emergency break-away couplings prevent spills if something goes wrong.
Thanks to spring-balanced designs, top loading arms are a breeze to move. Even a single operator can handle them easily.
Whether dealing with fuels, chemicals, or food-grade liquids, top loading arms can handle it all.
When not in use, top loading arms can fold back against the loading platform, saving space. It’s like tucking your umbrella away after a rainy day—neat and out of the way.
Liquid phase: DN50 to DN150
Gas phase: DN50 to DN80
Typically 0.1 MPa to 1.6 MPa (1 to 16 bar)
-196°C to +232°C (-321°F to +450°F)
From cryogenic gases to hot asphalt, the arms can take the heat (or cold).
Fixed reach: Up to 120” (3 meters) for single-compartment loading
Variable reach: Up to 20 feet or more for multi-compartment tankers
This range lets you hit the farthest compartment without moving the vehicle.
Typically 4 to 5 swivel planes for maximum flexibility
Made with hardened ball raceways for durability and smooth movement
Compatible with ANSI 150#, 300#.
These specs make top loading arms versatile enough to handle everything from a single-compartment truck to a multi-compartment railcar, all while keeping safety and efficiency first.
Carbon Steel: The workhorse of loading arms, offering strength and affordability.
Stainless Steel: Used for corrosive or hygienic applications, like chemicals or food-grade liquids. It’s pricier but resists rust.
Low-Temperature Carbon Steel: For cryogenic applications, where standard steel would crack.
For handling corrosive substances like hydrochloric acid, arms are often lined with PTFE (Teflon). This non-stick, chemically inert lining is like a superhero cape, protecting the arm from being eaten away by aggressive chemicals.
Some soft O-ring Seals like Buna-N, or Viton, mostly used in Break-away Couplings or Dry Couplers, ensure leak-proof connections. These are chosen based on the liquid being transferred, ensuring no weak spots in the system. It’s like picking the right lock for your front door—security matters.
Swivel joints are made from carbon steel or stainless steel, with hardened steel ball raceways for durability. These joints are the arm’s elbows, keeping everything moving smoothly.
The right material combo ensures top loading arm can handle your specific liquid, whether it’s as tame as water or as wild as molten sulfur.
One size doesn't fit all conditions. Top loading arms come in a range of sizes to match your needs.
2” (DN50): Perfect for low-flow applications, like transferring solvents or small chemical batches.
3” (DN80): A versatile middle ground for many industrial uses, like fuel loading.
4” (DN100): Ideal for higher flow rates, commonly used for railcar or truck loading.
6” (DN150): For high-volume transfers, like bulk fuel or asphalt, where speed is key.
Your choice depends on your flow rate, tanker size, and facility layout.
Top loading arms aren’t just pipes—they come with a slew of accessories to make them even more effective. Here are some popular add-ons:
These capture fumes from volatile liquids like gasoline, keeping workers safe and the environment clean. It’s like putting a lid on a simmering pot to keep the steam from escaping.
If a tanker pulls away too soon, these couplings snap apart to prevent spills. Brand: Manntek,
Sensors prevent overfilling, saving you from messy overflows. It’s like the float valve in your toilet tank, stopping the flow before things get out of hand. Brand: E+H.
These extend into the tanker to reduce splashing and vapor release. They’re like a straw that reaches the bottom of your glass, keeping things tidy.
For viscous liquids like bitumen, insulation or heat tracing keeps things flowing smoothly. It’s like wrapping your pipes in a cozy blanket to keep them warm.
These secure the arm in place during loading, preventing accidental movement. It’s like locking your car doors to keep everything safe.
Custom couplers ensure a tight connection to the tanker’s valves, especially for hazardous liquids like LPG. They’re like the perfect puzzle piece, clicking into place securely.
These accessories let you customize your top loading arm to fit your exact needs, boosting safety and efficiency.
Extend the arm over the tanker’s hatch, aligning the liquid arm with the fill port.
Adjust spring cylinders for easy positioning, even over tall tankers.
Open the valves to start liquid flow. A mass flow meter (if included) tracks volume.
Check the control panel or sensors for flow, pressure, and tank levels to prevent overfills.
Close valves, disconnect the coupler or sealing cone, and retract the arm.
Top loading arms are everywhere, from oil refineries to food factories. Here’s where they shine:
Petrochemicals: Loading fuels, solvents, or acids into tankers.
Food and Beverage: Transferring syrups, oils, or other food-grade liquids without contamination.
Chemicals: Handling corrosive substances like hydrochloric acid with PTFE-lined arms.
LPG/LNG: Safely transferring liquefied gases with specialized couplers.
Asphalt: Moving hot, viscous materials with heat-traced arms.
Top loading arms require operators to access the top of tankers, which can pose fall risks without proper safety fall protection. It’s like climbing a ladder—you need the right precautions. Also, for very heavy or large arms (like 6”), operators might struggle with handling, especially in all-steel designs.
To overcome these, invest in:
Fall Protection: Safety belts &cages to keep workers secure.
Ergonomic Designs: Spring-balanced arms for easier handling.
Regular Maintenance: Check swivel joints and seals to prevent wear and leaks.
