Low Profile Loading and Unloading Arms

 

Low profile arms can be used for loading or unloading (gravity or pumped) of rail and road tankers. Liquip’s low profile arms are designed for use with standard fuels, aviation, oil and chemical products.

Low profile arms can load at flow rates of up to 2,500 litres per minute and are popular for large single compartment tanker loading and unloading such as railcars and aviation bridging tankers.

Liquip’s low profile arms incorporate a minimum of five swivel planes of rotation offering complete flexibility and reach to suit a wide range of operational/loading envelopes.

Low Profile arms are designed to be installed at or near ground level and can be mounted on staggered risers to achieve crossover of multiple arms in a compact space. 

Liquip can supply loading arm couplers that provide the connection between the tanker and loading arm that are compliant with API RP 1004.
