OPW Bottom Loading Arm Systems are ideal for loading and unloading petroleum products, chemicals and liquefied gases, and offer numerous benefits over conventional top-loading systems:

  • Improved safety since operator remains on the ground during loading/unloading

  • Quicker connections reduce overall loading/unloading time
