Who in thier right mind would drive a van with a 500ltr tand full of water tied down with canvass straps?
??..................
I was recently looking at a brand new fire appliance and the way it was constructed meant that you could see the water tank when the lockers on the side of it were open. While looking at the tank i noticed that it sat in a steel tray which was about eight inches deep and was secured in this tray with heavey duty ratchet straps. The tank is baffled and holds 1800 litres so all in all porbalby wieghs two tons.
Now i rember serveral years ago in our county a fire appliance rolled over on the way to an incident and the insecure load that was highlighted was hemets in the crew cab flying about, nothing was said about the water tank.
