One of Delmeco’s unique innovations is the hose tower — an in-house developed solution that combines safety, reliability, and efficiency in one robust system.
This heavy-duty steel structure is specifically designed to enable controlled transfer of liquids and gases between jetty (or platform) and vessel, without the use of rotating couplings (swivels).

Built with high-quality components, the system is exceptionally suited for the demanding conditions of the petrochemical industry.
Delmeco’s hose tower offers a durable and safe solution for a wide range of loading and unloading processes, with maximum focus on operational efficiency and safety.

What is a hose tower?

A hose tower is designed to guide one or more hoses from a jetty or quay to (oil) tankers for the loading and unloading of liquids and gases. The crane lifts the hose on board the vessel, while the winch and sliding beam support precise hose positioning during handling.

Because a hose tower can be equipped with multiple hoses, it is possible to load and unload different types of liquids, even simultaneously. The number of hoses used is determined in consultation with the client. A hose tower offers a flexible and safe solution for working with hoses.

A typical hose tower is equipped with:

  • Multiple flexible hoses

  • One or more telescopic cranes

  • Hydraulic winches

  • Sliding beams

Delmeco has designed, delivered, and installed hose towers for a variety of clients worldwide. Our hose towers are in daily use in major ports, including the Port of Rotterdam.
