Liquip 3" Loading Arm Balance Mechanism

Liquip's 3" loading arm balance mechanism combines industry leading design and manufacturing with years of in-field proven use.

The 3" balance mechanism has been developed for use in top and bottom loading applicaitons where 3" loading arms are the prefered sizes. Liquip's 3" balance mechanism leverages the unique design and features of the 4" LBM800 including offering efforttless loading through the use of Liquip's 'Velvet Touch' technology.  

The ability of 360° rotation in the horizontal plane allows the 3" balance mechanism to easily move from a parked to loading position, to service vehicles on either side of the loading bay. While the vertical plane swivel allows users to position the coupler at different heights within the loading envelope.

Suitable for:
