Product Description

OPW Unsupported Boom Bottom Loader is relevant for bottom loading or unloading of railcars and tank trucks where long reach, low profile and flexible connection positioning are required. Correct arm or component selection matters because reach, connection geometry and operator handling directly affect loading continuity and the risk of leakage or unplanned intervention.

The product works through the following verified construction principle: at least five swivel planes allow the arm to compensate for vehicle elevation, tilt and mis-positioning while reaching side, rear or underbody connections. This provides the movement or control needed to connect the transfer system while keeping the operating arrangement manageable for terminal personnel.

Verified OPW information states that OPW lists 2 to 6 in sizes with carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum options; a recent EMEA G-loader document specifies 10 bar design pressure and 5 bar MAWP for the standard configuration. These datapoints should be checked against the actual medium, pressure, temperature, connections and site geometry before a configuration is specified.

For lifecycle cost, selection should also consider service access, swivel or hose wear points and the spare parts needed for planned maintenance. AxFlow can support product selection, service and spare-parts enquiries, helping maintenance teams reduce avoidable downtime and keep the loading point available.

OPW Unsupported Boom Bottom Loader is used for bottom loading or unloading of railcars and tank trucks where long reach, low profile and flexible connection positioning are required. 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 at least five swivel planes allow the arm to compensate for vehicle elevation, tilt and mis-positioning while reaching side, rear or underbody connections. This provides the movement or control needed at the loading point. Exact configuration depends on the installed piping and connection requirements.
OPW documents that OPW lists 2 to 6 in sizes with carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum options; a recent EMEA G-loader document specifies 10 bar design pressure and 5 bar MAWP for the standard configuration. These values provide a basis for screening the application. Final selection must also consider the actual medium, pressure, temperature and site geometry.
Check reach, vehicle connection location, line size, media/material compatibility, end fitting and storage space. 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.
