KANON cross-over bottom loading arms allow simultaneous connecting and filling of up to seven product lines with vapour return.

Construction details.

KANON Cross-Over bottom loading arms for filling road tankers are provided with double articulated boom arms. The inner arm is flanged onto the 6” heavy-duty swivel joint.

This swivel joint is the base swivel joint designed to carry all the loads created by the weight of the arm.

The outer arm is perfectly balanced by use of the KANON adjustable spring balance cylinders which feature multiple compression spring packages, and which can be adjusted to meet changes in operating conditions.

Compared with conventional designs, KANON adjustable spring cylinders excel in terms of safety and long life.

As standard, KANON Cross-Over bottom loading arms are provided with a spring clip for retaining arms in the parked position.

With this provision the loading arms are parked in such a way that the loading island is clear of trip hazards and the potential for damage to be caused to the arms as a result of vehicle impact is minimised.
