Excel Loading Systems CW-30
Overview
The CW-30 Counterweight Bottom Loading Arms store the primary arm in a horizontal position on either side of the riser pipe, depending on piping layout and site obstructions. The arm rotates above and below the horizontal plane to easily reach the truck connection point.
This model uses a slide scale counterweight balance system, providing controlled movement and reducing operator effort during operation. Compared to spring-balanced systems, it requires more side clearance for storage but less overhead space, making it suitable for specific terminal layouts.

CW-30 Frequently Asked Questions
The CW-30 Counterweight Bottom Loading Arms are used for safe and efficient bottom loading of tank trucks in petroleum and industrial terminals. They are designed for applications where controlled movement, reliable reach, and stable operation are required during liquid transfer processes.
The CW-30 uses a counterweight slide scale balancing system instead of spring-based mechanisms. This design helps maintain smooth and controlled movement of the arm, reduces operator effort, and provides consistent positioning during loading and unloading operations.
The CW-30 is available in up-feed and down-feed configurations to match different terminal layouts and loading requirements. These options allow the system to be adapted for various piping arrangements and operational setups.
Yes, multiple CW-30 arms can be installed in the same loading bay. They can be spaced on 18-inch horizontal centerlines and 16-inch vertical centers, making them suitable for facilities that handle multiple products in confined spaces.
The CW-30 is widely used in petroleum terminals, fuel distribution facilities, and industrial loading stations. It is especially useful in environments where safe, reliable, and repeatable bottom loading operations are required for liquid transfer.
