Opw "A" Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F

OPW A-Frame Hose (AFH) Loading Arms offer the same advantages as conventional A-Frame Loaders, except flexible hose is used instead of rigid piping on secondary/outboard arm. 

Let us help you find the right product from this series

Key product features

  • Low Riser Mounting Height (typically same as truck connection)
  • Easily Configured as Vapor Recovery Loader
  • Can be Configured with Additional Swivel Plane for Added Flexibility
  • Integral travel stops → controls upward and downward movement
  • Low-temperature fluorocarbon seals → supports specified low-temperature service
  • Stainless-steel or composite hose options → choice for site requirements
  • Left/right and upfeed/downfeed options → installation flexibility
  • 360° rotation → loading from either side of the bay
  • Low riser mounting height → suits compact rack layouts
  • Vapor-recovery use → supports displaced-vapor handling applications

Product Description

The A-Frame’s compact storage envelope allows loaders to be installed relatively close together, often on risers that are approximately the same height as the truck connection.

OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F is used for bottom loading of petroleum products and vapor-recovery duties where a compact A-frame arrangement with a flexible outboard hose is preferred. Its configuration is selected around the loading geometry and transfer duty. AxFlow can help define the appropriate arrangement for a specific terminal.
The verified operating principle is that the AFH uses flexible hose instead of rigid secondary piping and stores in an upright near-vertical position; 360° rotation allows loading from either side of the bay. This provides the movement or control needed at the loading point. Exact configuration depends on the installed piping and connection requirements.
OPW documents that current OPW information specifies the 790 EZ Adjust torsion spring, carbon-steel/aluminum construction, low-temperature fluorocarbon seals and braided stainless-steel or composite hose options. These values provide a basis for screening the application. Final selection must also consider the actual medium, pressure, temperature and site geometry.
Check feed orientation, handedness, hose material, media, riser height, coupler and vapor-recovery requirements. These parameters determine the suitable arm, material and connection arrangement. AxFlow can support product selection and availability checks.
AxFlow can support service and spare-parts enquiries for OPW loading equipment. The correct parts depend on the installed configuration and revision. Supplying identification details helps confirm the appropriate components before ordering.
