To be most effective, a bottom loading system must have ample horizontal range to reach the farthest compartment without needing to move the vehicle. Adequate vertical movement and drop-pipe lengths to service vehicles of varying heights is also necessary. A properly designed top loading system can provide protection and achieve this requirement. At Excel Loading Systems, we know that customizability is the best way to supply our customers with these components. For this reason, each one of our bottom loading arms can come with a number of options. We also offer sizing that ranges from 2" to 6" as well as a number of different materials.
Some of these materials our bottom loading arms can be designed with include:
- Carbon steel (made exclusively from domestic materials)
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Special Alloys
Our focus on quality, safety, and service mixed with our ability to ship products fast--typically within half the time of our competitors--is what sets us apart. All of our standard bottom loading arms are 100% domestic. We also provide installation, maintenance, training, in-field replacement and adjustment services as well as factory refurbishment. Excel Loading is ISO certified and ASME coded.
