Long Reach Hose Loading Arm

The BLA-100 is a fixed length boom type arm with a base swivel for horizontal movement and an optional vertical swivel and spring balance for vertical movement.

This bottom loading arm is typically used for railway and heavy plant refuelling where an extended reach is required from the fixed filling system. It can be used for loading fuels and chemicals. The arms are designed to reduce manual handling issues when working with heavy hoses and couplers and provide a way to easily reach fuelling points when the location can change.

Case Study
The Long Reach Bottom Hose Loading Arm in action

We recently completed a project for a large-scale Chemical Manufacturer, helping streamline their loading operations. They were looking at ways to reduce manual handling on site, as well as reduce risks of leaks and spillages. See our solutions here.
