Swivel Repair & Changeout
We remove worn swivel joints, install OEM-equivalent replacements, align assemblies, and pressure-test the arm before return to service.
Loading Arm Service, Repair & Replacement
KPM technicians service existing loading arms in active terminals and industrial transfer points. We repair worn components, change out swivels, replace seals, and complete full loading arm replacement projects when existing systems have reached end-of-life.
Core Loading Arm Service Scope
Seal & Bearing Replacement
KPM technicians replace leaking seals and worn bearing elements, then verify smooth articulation and product compatibility.
Hydraulic and Balance Restoration
From HPU tune-ups to counterweight and articulation balancing, we restore safe, predictable arm movement for operators.
Emergency Repairs
If an arm is down, we can mobilize quickly for troubleshooting and temporary or permanent corrective repairs.
Complete Loading Arm Replacement Projects
For obsolete or heavily damaged systems, KPM can remove the existing arm and install a fully upgraded replacement package. Our team coordinates mechanical, civil, electrical, and controls activities to reduce downtime and return the berth or loading point to service quickly.
Typical replacement workflow
- Site walkdown and existing arm condition assessment
- Demolition and safe removal of legacy arm hardware
- Foundation, pedestal, and flange compatibility checks
- New loading arm installation with mechanical and controls tie-ins
- Commissioning, function testing, and operator handoff
