Hi LWC

They can be supplied with fitting brackets that bolt through in to the floor plan/chassis.  I can dig out a photo of these mounting brackets and send it to you.  If you want to mount it so that it's removable you could always have a custom-made clamp that perhaps the skid would slide onto and then fasten down with a large wing-nut or something.  I'll dig out the pictures and email them to you. 

We now also are able to supply another skid mounted tank that is not on the website.  This is a 400 litre tank complete with a compartment on the top for the pump to mount onto and have a galvanised skid frame.  It is a very lightweight design specifically designed for sliding in and out of pick-ups on a regular basis and would be suitable for ratchet strap mounting.

Sent  :)

There are 6 of them, 3 on side although I would imagine for the smaller size tank two on each side would be enough. I will sort out some details on the new tanks. We have only just arranged to stock them.

ok thanks, didnt notice youd replied in my quote  ;D

not being funny like, but are them bolts enough? but they look good, dont suppose it would be much of a problem to leave the brackets in any who even when the tank was out.

superb  :)

Sorry about that!  Mucked up the quote thingie. 

6 of those bolts are more than enough as long as the brackets are bolted to something solid.  The manufacturer of the tanks (who supply the brackets and bolts) reckon that you don't even need to bolt the brackets to the chassis, you just need the spreader plates underneath the floor plan and bolted through with the two bolts to the brackets.
