For completing loading and unloading operations from multiple manholes
Specially for top loading and unloading from a single connection point

Strengths and specificities

  • For loading and unloading fluids by accessing multiple manholes without having to move the truck
  • Connection by coupling on the top of the tanker (ERC coupling, flanges, camlock)
  • A technical loading arm that can be adapted to all types of tankers (including ISO containers)
  • Available in an automated version on all the axes on request

Conditions of use

The conditions of use depend on several factors (installation environment of the arms, service conditions and fluid characteristics). Let's find the right loading arm for you: send us your SDS (safety data sheets).
