Low maintenance required due to:
Swivel joints: Kanon Swivel joints are engineered according to
the strictest mechanical rules. Thats why the balls
of our swivel joint have 4 contact points in ball
races for a perfect handling of mechanical loads.
Almost no tears & wears
No replaceable ball races needed
No replacement of inner body is required
during the entire life time of the loading arm
Easy In-situ seal replacement provision
without the need of removable elbows
Only one visual check per year is
recommended
Drain processing: Purge connection at Riser base to avoid the
need of piping or flex hose maintenance.

Easily operated
Balancing:
Full balance of the loading arm is provided by means of a
mechanical link with a rotating counterweight system.
In accordance with operational requirements the arm will be
optimum balanced for empty or full condition.
Electric-hydraulically operated:
When operating envelope requirement becomes larger or when
safety-systems are required, hydraulic operations are recommended
Hydraulic operation of the arm is provided by three hydraulic drives:
2 drives for in- and out board arm movement
1 drive for rotation movement
Our loading arms, when manoeuvred in connecting position, can be
easily rotated by the operator.
Movements of the hydraulic loading arm can be electrically
effectuated by: push-buttons on either operator console or
remote control pendant box / wireless set.
