EWFM supply a range of Bottom Loading Arms for the safe transfer of liquid and gases to tank trucks and rail cars. Bottom loading arms are specifically designed for filling from bottom, rear, or side connections. Our Bottom loading arms come in various models and configurations. The most common, the model 740/750, consists of a fixed reach boom with a flexible hose working as the drop pipe (this can be rigid on request). More often than not our bottom loading arms are equipped with an API or Dry disconnect coupling for quick and easy connection to the tanker. All our loading arms consist of swivel joints and balancing spring cylinders that allow the arms to manoeuvre smoothly, assisting the operator. Long reach and variable reach configurations are available on request where the distance to the tanker may be greater than standard. Most importantly all our arms are made to order. Drawings for approval are made prior to manufacture to ensure the customer is getting the right arm for the job.
