FMC Technologies is a distinguished company that produces, among other things, marine loading arms. The company is popular throughout Western Canada and has been recognized in the manufacture of high quality marine loading arms. Today, the company has advanced design and installation of marine loading arm on different loading racks. One of the popular features of the design and installation of the marine loading arm on loading racks is the customer consideration. In other words, FMC Chicksan marine loading arms products are compliant with the needs of the project and the requirements of the customer, making the marine loading arm a customized design. The team of experts is ready to provide solutions for any loading racks and design the marine loading arm that is appropriate for a concrete project. Furthermore, the capabilities of the marine loading arms are so flexible, that they can easily be used on multiple projects, sites and loading racks.

The loading racks in portside locations need specific, complex and high technology installations of marine loading arms in order to achieve optimal loading and unloading. Since there are specific requirements at every site, for over 50 years FMC technologies has perfected the design and installation of the marine loading arms on loading racks. The best solutions are now in our hands based on the in-depth research and constant improvements of the marine loading arms. Furthermore, alongside the development of the optimized marine loading arm, FCM Technologies has created swivel joints that have “snap-in” ball races, which is an original and creative way to allow for maximum flexibility and movement of the marine loading arm as it is connected to the loading racks. Just as the swivel joints maximize the operability of the marine loading arms, there are other accessories, such as hydraulic quick connect/disconnect couplers and manual quickcon couplers, developed by FCM Technologies to advance even further the capabilities and applicability of the marine loading arm. Those accessories serve the purpose of enhancing the operations and making the maintenance of the marine loading arm easier for the workers. As well, the different accessories of the marine loading arms provide increased safety for the operators on the loading racks. For the ease of the client, and to increase the range of application of the marine loading arm, FMC provides a range of standard marine loading arm models that can be purchased in a manual or fully powered versions. The different marine loading arm models have a wide range of configurations, therefore the marine loading arms can encompass a multitude of needs and requirements.

For different loading racks and in different portsides, the marine loading arms should be capable to get the job done. Thus, FMC Technologies has taken it upon themselves to advance and grow the field of marine loading arms such that they ensure the timely and efficient completion of loading and unloading operations.
