W340 Long Reach (Unsupported)

W340 long reach top loading arms for chemical/Industrial products are ideal for loading/unloading multi compartment tank trucks without having to move the vehicle, or for where significant miss-spotting is likely, i.e. when connecting with a line of coupled rail car tanks. The W340’s longer reach and significant miss-spot capabilities are due to a “swivel boom” that extends “unsupported” from the riser on to which a fixed reach loading arm is attached. This provides an extra plane or rotation and allows the loading arm to “track” a considerable distance along the centerline of the tank truck, rail car or ISO tank container.
