Wide operating reach, smooth balanced movement and easy maintenance make the Minerva a reliable solution for efficient marine loading operations.
The Minerva is developed for terminals and jetties where a larger operating range, smooth manoeuvrability and dependable uptime are essential. Its lightweight low-maintenance cable pantograph system keeps the arm in balance across the full working envelope, allowing effortless operation while limiting dead weight on the structure.
The robust swivel joint construction is designed to withstand the forces created during daily marine loading cycles while maintaining sealing integrity and controlled movement. Seals can be replaced easily without dismantling the loading arm or requiring auxiliary lifting equipment, helping reduce maintenance time and operational disruption.
The Minerva can be supplied for a wide variety of products, including chemically aggressive media, and performs reliably under both high and low temperature or pressure conditions. Depending on the application, optional hydraulic operation, vapour return lines or emergency release systems can be integrated.
