I have got to move and store a few large tanks prior to
relocating. Looked at using the glass suction handles, but they
still leave you with the dilema of
what to place the base on to ensure it avoids point loads etc while
being transported. So came up with these tank cradles to make
lifting and moving tanks around a lot easier to do.
And if you add tied down points to the handles you can really lock it down on a
ute bed.
Using these cradles means that it is easy for only two guys move a 7'x2'x2'.
The
cost per cradle was about $15 and two were made in under an hour from start
to clean up. All parts obtained from the Shrine of Bunnings:
- a few metres of structural pine
- liquid nails
- big screws
- adhesive backed door foam
The cheapie straps work best for keeping tanks firm on the cradle. They
are relatively weak and have just the right amount of stretch in the
web tape.
