Loading Arm

Loading Arm

A device used for loading or unloading that is usually a hard-piped extension of the piping system. The loading arm is usually assisted by a spring, a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder and can be articulated by an operator to couple to or insert into a railcar or truck. The advantage of a loading arm over a typical loading hose is that it is ergonomically correct and operator friendly for repeated use and returns to the same position for storage.
