Hose Arms

Taking the hose to the top of a truck or a tank car, relieving the operator of that burdensome and dangerous chore.

Helping to hold the hose up while the operator is making the connection.

Taking the hose back to the loading rack to be stored properly, either swung alongside the rack or vertically folded upward.

Advantages

Hemco's hose arm puts hose out to tank car or tank truck with ease. The Hemco hose arm provides easy connection to the tank car or truck while remaining leakproof. Hemco hose arms are a step above and the obvious choice over rigid arms with leaking swivel joints. Rises to vertical for clearance and pivots to swing hose snugly against rack. The Hemco Hose Arm makes the handling of hoses much easier and safer than ever before and is easily installed on any loading rack. It features a wide range of movement and is adjustable up to 7700 in/pound to handle hoses of up to 3" in diameter.

Operation

Bringing It Into Position - "Fold up-down" handle brings the hose arm to a position below the horizontal, where it stops. The Hose Arm is then pivoted horizontally to achieve the correct location. The operator then walks out to the platform of the car or truck, grabs the end of the hose (now conveniently in position) and makes the connection.

Bringing It Back to the Loading Rack

After loading is completed, the operator disconnects the hose from the car or truck and lifts the end of the Hose Arm up above the horizontal. The Hose Arm balance mechanism then takes over and automatically folds it up, taking it back to the loading rack. Or, the operator can also go back to the loading rack and pivot the Hose Arm to a position alongside the loading rack. From the loading rack, the Hose Arm can then be rotated as necessary to obtain the optimum storage position.
