Variable Reach Loader

Our Variable Reach Top Loader is especially designed for the top loading of road or rail tankers suitable for applications where the manhole cannot be positioned accurately. Versatility of reach makes the Variable Reach Loader ideal for applications where more than one compartment can be reached without re-spotting the vehicle.

Also known as a Pantograph and Scissor arm, the Variable Reach Loader is recommended for medium reach applications less than 11 feet.

This loading arm can be used for petroleum, chemical, and mineral oil applications and is available with or without a load valve.

Because of the robust and high quality design of the swivel joints and the precise loading arm balancing, handling of the loading arm is effortless.
