Manually operated arms can be
supplied with attachment brackets for the
later addition of hydraulic operations. Operational limiting controls
and other warning devices are available as optional extras.
Woodfield Arms, although normally
fixed in one jetty position, can be
mounted on movable trailers or rail tracks to provide dockside
flexibility.
Several types of quick
connect/disconnect couplings are available for
the full range of Loading Arms. An emergency disconnect coupling is
also available as an operator initiated device or as part of a sequence
controlled “shut down” disconnect-system.
Both ambient and cryogenic swivel
technologies are well proven within
the industry and Woodfield’s swivels have surpassed expectations
in OCIMF testing and the LNG swivel has excelled in life cycle testing.
Our designs are currently being used for offshore loading systems
within the Aker Kvaerner Group and other
companies in the market place.
