What Are Loading Arms and Platforms?
Loading arms are mechanical devices used for the safe and efficient transfer of liquids, gases, or dry bulk materials between storage tanks, railcars, tank trucks, and other containers. They are engineered for precision and ease of use, ensuring leak-free connections and smooth operations.
Platforms provide secure access to elevated points for loading and unloading, prioritizing worker safety and efficiency. These platforms are often equipped with handrails, stairs, and fall prevention systems, creating a stable environment for personnel handling critical tasks.
