Bottom Loading & Unloading Arms
Bottom loading and unloading arms are designed to transfer liquids between storage facilities, pipelines, and road tankers through bottom-mounted connections. These systems are widely used in petroleum terminals, fuel depots, refineries, chemical plants, and bulk liquid distribution facilities.
Bottom loading arms provide convenient access to tanker connections and can help improve loading efficiency, reduce manual handling, and support safer product transfer operations. Depending on the application, the equipment can incorporate articulated pipework, swivel joints, balancing mechanisms, compatible couplings, isolation valves, and other accessories.
Our loading and unloading arm solutions can be specified according to the type of fluid, flow rate, operating pressure, temperature, connection size, material compatibility, and installation requirements.
