Bottom Loading Station E2573
Overview
The E2573 Bottom Loading Arms are designed to support a variety of bottom loading applications where safety, productivity, and environmental control are important. Since loading takes place at ground level, operators can perform loading and unloading tasks without working at height, helping reduce operational risks.
These loading arms support simultaneous loading of multiple tank compartments, improving throughput and reducing vehicle turnaround times. The system can also be integrated with vapor recovery equipment, making it suitable for facilities that require emission control during loading operations.
