CWH Series Counterweighted Hose Loader
Installation and operation is simple and efficient with
OPW hose loaders. Adjustable counterweights mounted on
a pair of horizontal rails are simply moved until the desired balance point
is located. This design provides for efficient handling and coupling to the
tank adaptors.
This popular hose loader features a flange-by-flange base
swivel joint for reliable performance and ease of maintenance. A heavy-duty
Endura™ split flange base swivel joint is standard on 4" arms.
Construction is carbon steel with a drop hose for maximum flexibility and
easy handling. Composite hose (standard) and stainless steel hoses are available.
Outboard swivel joint, spacer spool, and API coupler are aluminum on the
standard model.
Standard horizontal reach is 114" to fully cover the
API RP-1004 bottom loading envelope with up to four loading arms spaced 18"
apart. Each loader should be mounted successively higher; 16" stagger is
recommended to provide maximum crossover capability for efficient simultaneous
compartment loading.
Optional reaches of 66", 78", 90", and 102" are
also available, but full coverage of the API envelope may require moving
the truck. Minimum recommended drop hose length is approximately 60".
