Simply better built

The loading arms supplied by SVT offer customers a range of innovative and technical advantages. As all components, including the safety system, have been developed by SVT and are therefore part of the same family, there is consistent quality and optimum compatibility between all the elements.

The components transporting the fluids are separate from the static structures and are often made of stainless steel or coated with Teflon. Consequently any unavoidable frictional wear does not extend to the supporting structures and is confined to the transporting components which can be replaced if required. This modular design reduces the number of spares and the lighter sub-structure saves weight. Faster installation times are also an important argument for customers. The leaner, lighter design of the arms also offers advantages in seismically-sensitive areas and has proven its worth on many occasions, such as during earthquakes in Taiwan.

The safety cut-off systems also designed by SVT ensure the required safety.

All products feature a low-maintenance design. For the first installation, SVT generally sends two specialists, who work together with the local personnel to set up the arms. Major maintenance work is managed by SVT, while smaller maintenance tasks can be performed autonomously by local personnel after the appropriate training. This results in time and cost-savings for the customer.
