High-performance loading and unloading systems specifically configured for the Dar es Salaam and Mtwara port standards.
Tanzania is rapidly transforming into a regional logistics hub for East and Central Africa. With the expansion of the Dar es Salaam port and the growing demand for petroleum products in land-linked countries like Zambia, Rwanda, and Malawi, the requirement for Safety Breakaway Loading Arms has reached a critical peak. Shenzhen Liftora Arm Co., Ltd. provides the precision engineering necessary to mitigate risks in these high-stakes environments.
The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) in Tanzania has implemented stringent safety guidelines for petroleum handling. Our breakaway technology ensures that in the event of a tanker "drive-away" or unintended movement, the loading arm detaches safely without spilling hazardous chemicals, protecting both the personnel and the fragile Tanzanian ecosystem.
Designed for the heavy-duty cycles of the Port of Dar es Salaam, ensuring 24/7 reliability in tropical maritime climates.
Our systems meet ASME, API, and ISO 9001 standards, aligning with the Tanzanian Bureau of Standards (TBS) requirements.
Integrated Emergency Release Couplers (ERC) provide dual-valve shut-off within milliseconds of a breakaway event.
Utilization of corrosion-resistant 316L Stainless Steel and specialized coatings for the Tanzanian salt-spray environment.
IoT-enabled sensors that track arm position and flow rates in real-time, preventing overfill and mechanical fatigue.
Balanced swivel joints that allow for effortless operator handling, reducing physical strain and operational downtime.
Traditional loading arms without breakaway valves pose a significant risk of structural failure at the terminal. In the Tanzanian context, where infrastructure downtime can disrupt the entire East African supply chain, the Information Gain from using Liftora’s technology lies in the "Passive Safety" mechanism. Unlike active systems that require human intervention, our breakaway couplers are tension-triggered, ensuring a fail-safe response even during power outages or communication failures.

Bridging the gap between Chinese manufacturing excellence and African industrial needs.
Driven by continuous innovation and a customer‑centric approach, Shenzhen Liftora Arm Co., Ltd. offers fluid handling equipment that enhances efficiency, safety, and operational excellence. Our global reach extends across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, earning the trust of terminal operators and major industrial customers worldwide.
We understand the importance of uptime in Tanzania. Liftora Arm provides comprehensive documentation, remote diagnostic support, and on-site training for local engineers in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma. Our products are engineered for durable performance, operational reliability, and ease of maintenance, ensuring that spare parts and maintenance protocols are straightforward and accessible.
Our loading arms comply with API 2350, ASME B31.3, and the Tanzanian EWURA safety guidelines, ensuring full legal and operational compliance for petroleum and chemical transfer.
The coupler consists of two check valves. When a pre-determined force is applied (due to a truck pulling away), the breaking bolts shear, and both valves snap shut instantly, sealing the fluid on both the arm and the truck side.
Yes, we offer specialized electric or steam-heat traced loading arms designed specifically for high-viscosity products like asphalt and bitumen, which are essential for Tanzania's infrastructure projects.
While our factory is in Shenzhen, we provide comprehensive installation supervision, commissioning, and training services via our mobile engineering team or regional partners in East Africa.
