Long Reach Boom Style Top Loading Arms

Top loading provides an efficient and cost effective way to load in many situations and is still a prominent method of loading throughout many different countries. 

Liquip’s long reach boom style top loading arms are our most versatile top loading arms, commonly used in rail car and tanker applications. They provide an efficient and cost effective method to load all compartments of a typical road tanker without the need to reposition the tanker. They are suitable for variable reach applications and can easily load tanks on either side the gantry. 

Liquip can supply vapour cones as an optional extra for hydrocarbons applications, allowing operators to recover vapour and limit environmental impacts.
