Benefits
The loading arms may be mounted on close centres to maximise the number of
products serving a single sided loading bay. They are also light and easy
to handle, enabling them to be turned through 360o for use on double
sided loading gantries.
The compact pantograph design provides both easy handling and flexibility of
reach. The secondary arm fully rotates in the horizontal plane enabling at
least three compartments of a multi-compartment tanker to be filled without
re-spotting the vehicle. The loading arm can be fitted with safety
interlocks to provide simultaneous open fill loading.
Installation and maintenance costs are reduced through the introduction of
lightweight TTMA flanges.
The arm may be supplied with a loading valve installed inboard on the primary
arm for fully draining the system. For products which do not drain easily
or where arms are used close to the horizontal and drainage cannot be achieved
satisfactorily, the loading valve can be positioned at the outboard end of the
secondary arm to provide 'wet-line' operation.
