Long Reach Top Loading Arms

The TLA-202 Long Reach Top Loading Arm is typically used for loading points that have to reach a large area on the top of the tanker. It is commonly fitted where there is no additional support needed. It can be used for Chemicals, petroleum, foods, heated liquids and a multitude of other products.

Our chemical top loading arms are fully spring balanced as standard, so they are easy to handle for all loading operations. Their robust, high-quality long reach design allows for maximum flexibility and provides a wide range of movement. The TLA-202 is a medium duty loading arm, suitable for applications where supports are not necessary.
