Top Loading ArmsTop loading is the most efficient, safest, and cost-effective method of loading/unloading in many situations.

A properly designed top-loading system should have a sufficient horizontal range to reach the farthest compartment without re-spotting, and have enough vertical movement and length for various vehicles heights. By using components, such as vapor plates, tapered hatch plugs, and inflatable hatch seals, top-loading systems can be used in tight-fill and vapor recovery applications.

By using a wide range of specialty valves, fittings, and instrumentation, SafeRack can provide you with the most effective loading/unloading top-loading arm systems to safely and efficiently handle the needs for your application.
