Top Loading Arms (Variable Reach)

The Variable Reach Top Loading Arms are specifically designed for top filling of road tankers and rail tank cars. Their extended and adjustable working range allows the operator to reach multiple loading points across the tank, providing greater flexibility compared to fixed-position systems. This design makes them particularly suitable for installations where the loading position may vary, ensuring efficient and safe product transfer over a wider operating area.
