Mechanical Loading Skids

Our range of Mechanical Loading Skids are built to be durable and long-lasting with the use of traditional mechanical registers, counters, and pre-set mechanisms. This range of depot fuel loading systems is both cost-effective, easy to operate, and extremely reliable.

These skids are suitable for single-site operations, for companies with fewer than five tankers, or for businesses that do not require electronic automation of their loading operations. IFC’s Mechanical Loading Skids are the tried and tested option and come with individual mechanical counters, ticket printers, and pre-set counters.

Mechanical Loading Skids
Features and benefits

Widely used in the oil distributor market, because they are a cost-effective replacement to outdated top loading equipment. Our Mechanical loading skids do not require the complex and expensive automation commonly found in main line terminals.

Operators input a specific batch volume linked to a two-stage mechanical pre-set valve through the pre-set counter, enabling precise loading. Therefore ensureing accurate control of the loading process. As well as guaranteeing the correct volume is loaded onto the trucks. The mechanical printer provides a paper bill of loading (BOL) receipts for liquids loaded through the system, therefore removing the need to connect to remote printers. Self-contained systems, Mechanical Fuel Loading Skids do not interface with digital management or fuel control systems. In addition, here are some of the other features and benefits of our IFC Mechanical Loading Skids.

Long-lasting, low-cost systems, therefore providing ultimate reliability
Self-contained systems, so they don’t require communication infrastructure
Flow rate between 800 to 2500L/min
Perfect for harsh, as well as remote environments
Paper bill-of-loading printing and pre-set as standard
