Carbis Loadtec Bottom Loading Arm For Rear Tanker Connection

Industrial Loading Arms – Model Range & Technical Specification

Engineered loading arm systems for safe bulk liquid and gas transfer across fuel, chemical and industrial applications.

Carbis Loadtec Industrial Loading Arms are engineered to provide safe, efficient and controlled transfer of liquids and gases during road and rail tanker loading and unloading operations. Our range supports fuel, chemical and specialist industrial applications, with configurations available for both top and bottom loading systems.

Each loading arm is specified according to site layout, product characteristics, connection type and operational requirements. From fixed reach and variable reach top loading arms to low-profile and station-based bottom loading systems, all models are engineered to deliver safe movement control, product containment and repeatable tanker connection.

All systems are configured to project-specific requirements and supported by Carbis Loadtec engineering teams to ensure integration into loading bay operations in accordance with recognised industry standards.

Choosing the Correct Industrial Loading Arm

Loading arms are typically selected based on:

Tanker access configuration
Site layout and height constraints
Product characteristics and compatibility
Vapour recovery requirements
Required working envelope
Operator access and ergonomics

Top Loading Arms

Top loading systems are commonly specified where tanker manholes are accessed from above. Configurations include fixed reach, variable reach and extended reach designs to accommodate different tanker geometries and working envelopes.

Top Loading Models

CLGLA110 – Fixed Reach Top Loading Arm
CLGLA120 – Variable Reach Top Loading Arm
CLGLA130 – Long Reach Top Loading Arm (including PTFE-lined options)
CLGLA140 – Long Reach Unsupported Configuration

Bottom Loading Arms

Bottom loading systems are designed for connection at lower manifold positions and are frequently used for fuel and chemical transfer. Configurations include hose loader, A-frame, low-profile and station arrangements, enabling specification based on space constraints, connection orientation and safety integration requirements.

Configuration & Specification Variables

All Carbis Loadtec industrial loading arms can be configured to suit application-specific requirements, including:

Swivel series selection
Wetted material specification
Seal material compatibility
Actuation method (manual or powered)
Emergency release couplings (ERC)
Dry disconnect couplers
Breakaway couplings
Instrumentation and sensor integration
Vapour recovery integration
Trace heating and insulation systems

Final configuration is determined following review of product type, temperature range, pressure conditions and site operating procedures. Selecting the correct industrial loading arm ensures safe integration, product compatibility and operational control within bulk transfer environments.

Safety Integration & Operational Control

Loading arms are critical components within bulk liquid transfer operations. Systems can be configured to incorporate:

Emergency release protection
Controlled movement via balancing systems
Earthing provision
Parking and position sensing
Valve position indication

All equipment is specified with consideration to operational safety, compatibility and recognised engineering standards.

Specify the Correct Loading Arm

Accurate specification requires:

Product being transferred
DN size requirement
Temperature and pressure range
Required connection type
Site layout constraints
Vapour recovery requirements
Required safety integrations

Our engineering team provides support during specification to ensure the selected loading arm is appropriate for operational conditions.
