These piping systems allow operators to move gases and liquids from compartments safely and securely, mitigating the risks that tears or leakage pose to people and the environment.

Arm-Tex offers a complete line of Excel top loading arms.

These are some of the most efficient, reliable, and cost-effective arms out there, and they are great for loading products onto trucks, railcars, or totes.

Types of Excel Top Loading Arms

Excel provides many options for their top loading arms, from a more affordable fixed reach arm to a customizable variable reach arm. Fixed reach loading arms are cost-effective fluid transfer systems that have limited movement while variable reach loading arms are best for jobs that require more articulation. They have a swivel function that gives it some flexibility.

Fixed reach loading arms are simple fluid transfer piping systems that, as their name implies, have limited movement. For jobs that require a bit more articulation, variable reach top loading arms will work best since they have a swivel function that gives it some flexibility.

Excel’s Fixed Reach Top Loading Arms

  • includes the TL-54, which is one of the simplest and least expensive Excel top loading arms available
  • called “fixed reach” because they allow little miss-spot of a truck or railcar
  • includes a spring balanced double swivel which gives it some up/down and left/right movement
  • its additional swivel allows the drop tube to stay vertical to keep the transfer process running smoothly

There are many other accessories available for arms of this type to meet your needs.

Excel’s Variable Reach Top Loading Arms

  • TL-544, similar to the TL-54 fixed reach arm in many ways
  • additional pipe section gives it more flexibility to accommodate loading positions and compensate for how vehicles are spotted
  • includes a spring-balanced double swivel and an additional swivel to keep the drop tube vertical

There are other arms available too, such as the TLB-374 which is much like the TL-544 but includes an unsupported boom arm. This transfers the weight of the arm and load onto the inlet flange. The TLBS-374 provides a supported boom arm, meaning the weight of the arm is supported by the inlet flange and a pillow block bearing.
