CWH Series Counterbalance Units

Counterweighted Hose Pneumatic Cylinders
Loader • Ideal for heavy-load applications • Plug & Play Control Package
Installation and operation are simple and • Eliminates strenuous pushing, pulling or lifting – Weather-proof enclosure
efficient with OPW Engineered Systems hose • Can be designed to provide movement in single – Includes air regulator, dryer and
loaders. Adjustable counterweights mounted or multiple planes, up to and including fully speed controls
on a pair of horizontal rails are simply robotic arm
moved until the desired balance point is – Push-button pendant controller
located. This design provides for efficient
handling and coupling to the tank adaptors.
This popular hose loader features a
flange-by-flange base swivel joint for reliable
performance and ease of maintenance. A
heavy-duty Endura™ split flange base swivel
joint is standard on 4” arms. Construction is
carbon steel with a drop hose for maximum
flexibility and easy handling. Composite
hose (standard) and stainless-steel hoses are
available. Outboard swivel joint, spacer
spool, and API coupler are aluminum on the
standard model.
Standard horizontal reach is 114" to fully
cover the API RP-1004 bottom-loading
envelope, with up to four loading arms
spaced 18" apart. Each loader should be
mounted successively higher; 16” stagger
is recommended to provide maximum
crossover capability for efficient simultaneous
compartment loading.
Optional reaches of 66", 78", 90", and 102"are
also available, but full coverage of the API
envelope may require moving the truck.
Minimum recommended drop hose length
is approximately 60".

Benefits
• Easily meets envelope requirements
• Counterbalance adjustment is smooth and easy
• Multiple-compartment loading capability
saves time
• Simple, rugged construction

Features

is time-tested as a practical method of
locating the drop tube accurately and easily.
The slide sleeve is a medium-duty unit
