Safety. Economy. Speed. These three major factors were carefully weighed by Richfield when they evaluated the new Chiksan Marine Loading Arm. On each point the new Loading Arm measured up and more. Take safety. The majority of marine loading mishaps are back injuries resulting from handling heavy rubber hose. The new hydraulically operated loading arm eliminates this costly hazard. Hose bursts, while less common, are extremely dangerous, terrifically expensive... one burst cleanup could easily cost more than an entire 5-arm unit. The new Chiksan Loading Arm has a burst ratio of 8 to 1 compared •with rubber hose 4 to 1 ratio.
BEFORE —Unwieldy dock hose was difficult to make up, was hazardous, cluttered the dock and was subject to spillage.

From a speed standpoint, it takes 3 men just 7 minutes to.make up the Chiksan Loading Arm compared with 7 men taking 24 minutes •with rubber hose. Loading operations can be speeded up, materially reducing turnaround time. And from the all important economy viewpoint, the new Loading Arm means substantial savings in lost man-hours due to injuries, insurance and compensation premiums, and expensive rubber hose replacement costs. Savings that within a decade will actually amount to the purchase price of the Loading Arm.
