Brands

• Autoload: Automatic tanker loading arm that recognises an open manhole, moves to it, inserts, self-checks and loads without operator involvement.
• Zip-Load

Products and services

• Safe Tanker Access (Fall Prevention Systems) Comprehensive range of fall prevention systems including gangways, folding stairs, mobile access carts, vertically elevating platforms, fixed access platforms, rail car access systems, and tarping systems for safe access to road and rail tanker tops.
• Top Loading Arms Loading arms for transferring liquids through manholes on top of road or rail tankers, including configurations for chemicals, fuels, LPG, and vapour recovery, with open, semi-closed, or closed connection options.
• Autoload Automatic Loading Arm Intelligent loading arm that recognises an open manhole, moves to it, inserts, self-checks and loads, then self-checks/purges and parks without operator involvement. Suitable for road, rail, IBC and drum loading.
• Bottom Loading Arms Fully counterbalanced ground-level loading arms for road and rail tankers that can be handled by one person, including configurations for chemicals, fuels, LPG, LNG/cryogenic, and vapour recovery.
• Meter Skid Systems Metering skids, blending skids, transloading skids, LPG and LNG/cryogenic metering skids, CO2 bulk tanker transfer systems, and loading control systems for accurate fluid measurement and transfer.
• Powder Loading Equipment Equipment for loading powder and bulk solid materials, including the Dino S Line and Dino Bulk Truck Loader systems for cement, minerals, and bulk powder applications.
• Couplers for Tanker Loading Quick-release and dry-disconnect couplings for tanker loading, including the Kamlok, Autolok, Drylok, and Kamvalok systems, API couplers, and breakaway couplings for safe fluid transfer.
• Storage Tank Equipment Storage tank equipment including floating suctions and floating skimmers for efficient liquid withdrawal and surface liquid removal from bulk storage tanks.
• Electronic Earthing & Grounding Systems Systems such as the Earth-Rite RTR that eliminate static build-up during tanker loading by verifying earth connection and providing a permissive signal for process operation.
• Engineering Consultancy Services Expert engineering consultancy from initial concept through to installation and commissioning for end-users, EPC companies, terminal operators, chemical plants, fertiliser producers, food and drink processors, bitumen, and LPG plants.
• Installation and Commissioning Services On-site professional installation and commissioning of loading arms, fall prevention systems, meter skids, and associated equipment supplied by the company.
• Maintenance and Spares Services Ongoing maintenance services and supply of spare parts for loading arms, skid systems, and tanker access equipment, available on a contract basis or as required, supporting multiple brands including ALMA, Cavotec, Dixon, Emco Wheaton, OPW, and others.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Emco Wheaton (Dover Corporation): Major manufacturer of tanker loading arms, couplings and fluid transfer equipment for road and rail tankers. Directly comparable to Carbis Loadtec's loading arm portfolio and historical lineage (Alec Keeler previously worked at Emco Wheaton as Global Marketing Manager).
• Cavotec: Global supplier of loading arms, aircraft fuelling systems and shore power for ports, airports and industrial terminals. Direct competitor in road/rail loading arms and aviation refuelling — verticals where Carbis Loadtec explicitly competes.
• SVT (Schwäbische Hüttenwerke Automotive / Loading Solutions): German specialist in marine and road/rail loading arms and turnkey terminal equipment. Direct peer in the European tanker loading arm market serving chemicals, oil and gas terminals.
• Dixon Valve & Coupling: Manufacturer of hose couplings, dry-disconnect fittings and fluid handling accessories widely used in tanker loading. Directly comparable through Carbis Loadtec's aftermarket support of Dixon-branded spares and its own coupling portfolio.
• Woodfield Systems: UK-based specialist in marine loading arms and terminal equipment. Previously acquired the Loadtec Marine Arm Division from Woodfield, evidencing direct overlap and customer/supplier relationship in marine arm design.
• OPW Engineered Systems (Dover Corporation): Producer of loading arms, dry-disconnect couplings (Kamlok, Autolok, Drylok, Kamvalok — also carried by Carbis Loadtec) and vapour recovery systems. A direct competitor in tanker loading equipment where Alec Keeler was a Sales Engineer earlier in his career.
• Manntek (Dixon Valve & Coupling): Manufacturer of dry-disconnect couplings and breakaway systems for the chemical, petrochemical and tanker loading industries. Overlaps directly with Carbis Loadtec's Kamlok/Autolok/Drylok/Kamvalok coupler portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• TechnipFMC: Large oilfield services and equipment provider serving upstream and midstream energy. A broad incumbent whose loading/skid/terminal equipment competes with Carbis Loadtec's meter skid and LNG/cryogenic offerings in major EPC projects.
• Endress+Hauser: Global process automation and instrumentation leader, including flow metering commonly integrated into tanker loading skids. Comparable as a metering/component supplier within Carbis Loadtec's meter skid systems and supported as a third-party spare brand.

Emerging players

• Zipfluid Srl: Italian loading arm manufacturer based in Bologna that is jointly controlled as an adjacent operating subsidiary of Carbis Loadtec. Comparable as a niche European loading arm specialist serving chemicals, fuels and cryogenic markets.
