LOADING ARMS
Bottom Loading Arms Offer Numerous Benefits Over Conventional Top Loading
Let us design the best bottom loading arms for your application.
The safety of the loading arm operator is the prime advantage since they remain on the ground – not on top of the vehicle where falls are a common threat. Connections are made more quickly so overall loading time is reduced.
Bottom loading systems also create less turbulence in the tank, reducing the danger of generating static electricity and can be easily adapted to recover vapors displaced during loading.

Safer and More Efficient than Hoses
Loading arms are often preferred over hoses in loading/unloading operations due to their enhanced safety, durability, and efficiency. They are less likely to fail or create trip hazards and require less maintenance compared to hoses.
Designed to Work Together
Carbis engineers design their loading systems with your process in mind. From piping to loading arms, each component of your loading system is designed for maximum throughput.
A Few More Benefits of Bottom Loading Arms:
- Terminal tank truck bottom loading means tanks can be filled faster because a number of compartments can be loaded simultaneously
- Bottom loading islands are simpler and cheaper to build than top loading racks. You can realize more savings because you’ll safely load more material in a shorter time with less spillage and vapor loss.
- Improved safety by allowing the operator to remain on the ground during loading/unloading
- The ability to fill tanks faster since several compartments can be loaded simultaneously

Liquid Bottom Loading Systems
To be most effective, a bottom loading system must have ample horizontal range to reach the farthest compartment without needing to move the vehicle. Adequate vertical movement and drop-pipe lengths to service vehicles of varying heights is also necessary. A properly designed top loading system can provide protection and achieve this requirement. At Carbis Solutions, we know that customizability is the best way to supply our customers with these components. For this reason, each one of our bottom loading arms can come with a number of options. We also offer sizing that ranges from 2″ to 6″ as well as a number of different materials.
For optimal performance, a bottom loading system must have ample horizontal reach to access distant compartments without moving the vehicle. Sufficient vertical movement and drop-pipe lengths are also essential for varying vehicle heights. A well-designed system ensures safety while meeting these requirements. At Carbis Solutions, we prioritize customization, offering various options. Our bottom loading arms range in size from 2″ to 6″ and are available in multiple materials to fit your specific needs!
