Lifting Equipment Requirements for Tank Deliveries

When it comes to delivering large tanks, ensuring the right lifting equipment is available on-site is crucial for a safe and efficient process. Depending on the size and type of the tank, as well as its fittings, different lifting gear may be required. In this article, we’ll outline the specific requirements to help you prepare for your delivery.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Delivery

1. Site Preparation: Ensure that the delivery site is clear of obstacles and has a firm, level surface where the tank can be safely placed.
2. Access Clearance: Our delivery trucks are large and require ample space for maneuvering. Please make sure that there are no low-hanging branches or power lines that could obstruct the truck’s path.
3. Communication: Keep in contact with our delivery team and provide them with detailed information about the site and any specific requirements you may have.
