Tank Cages and internal pole holders
« on: February 13, 2010, 09:51:30 am »
Hello,
I have a neighbour that after 40 years in welding / fabrication is setting up on his own. He made my tank cage for my new van. I was quoted £390 for a galvanised cage from a known supplier and he made it for £120.
You have a choice of bare metal, primed and painted or galvanised.



I had mine painted to match my van, it was a 350ltr upright tank.
So if anyone wants anything making email me and I will sort a price.

Cheers jay

I've not got any in this van he will make to your own spec.
I just thought I could save fellow window cleaners a few quid

Looks good, he made my internal ladder rack in my primastar. I got fed up with ladders on the roof.

Sorry but that cage is totally useless other than to hold the tank upright and stick a few bits on.

No way is it strong enough to withstand any real collision. It has no real structural integrity with a bare minimum of materials used in the construction. No wonder it's cheap.

I use these with a bungee,you can put a bungee hook in the holes and connect the other hook to the Y piece on the pole to prevent movement ;)
