Tank Fastening Methods

1

Bolt Fastening

Bolt fastening is a basic and stable fastening method. First, prepare mounting holes on the mounting platform that match the screw holes on the tank's bottom. After placing the tank in the designated location, thread high-strength bolts through the mounting holes and the tank's screw holes, securing them with non-slip washers and nuts.

Some tanks have pre-installed reinforcement ribs or mounting pads on the bottom to increase the load-bearing capacity of the bolted connection. This makes it suitable for applications where the tank is permanently fixed in place and subjected to frequent vibrations, such as transfer tanks used on trucks.

Dedicated Bracket Fastening

Dedicated bracket fastening improves the tank's compatibility with the mounting surface. Custom metal brackets are custom-made based on the size and shape of the transfer tank. The brackets must be securely attached to the mounting platform, and the tank is then inserted into the brackets.

Brackets, pressure plates, or bolts are used to secure the tank. Brackets can be designed with adjustable height or angle to suit different installation environments. These brackets also reduce direct friction between the tank and the mounting surface, protecting the tank's surface and making them suitable for installations in irregular spaces or where flexible positioning is required.

Strap Fixing

Strap fixing is a flexible and convenient temporary or supplemental fixing method. Choose high-strength, oil-resistant nylon or polyester strapping to wrap around the transfer tank and secure it to the mounting points on the platform.

When tying, ensure the straps conform to the tank's contours and distribute the force evenly to avoid damage from overtightening. Some straps are equipped with automatic locking mechanisms to prevent loosening during transport. They are suitable for short-term transport, temporary storage, or as an auxiliary method for bolt fixing to enhance stability.

Snap-in Mounting

Snap-in mounting allows for an integrated connection between the tank and the mounting surface. A groove prefabricated on the mounting platform matches the shape of the tank's bottom. The tank is snapped into the groove.

Non-slip rubber pads can be applied to the inner wall of the groove to increase friction and prevent shifting. Some snap-in designs are equipped with side locators or top bars to further restrict lateral and vertical movement. This design is suitable for applications where space utilization is critical and the tank must not protrude, such as built-in transfer tanks for small equipment.
