Strapping down my tanks.

SEE OUR WORK HERE!!! · Guest

David,

I just came across this Rust Encapsulator today while I was surfing the net. It just may come in handy for those bands from what the customer reviews say. There is alot of other good items on that site that I thought would come in handy for roof cleaners also.

I like those mounts you found. Great thinking outside that
darn old box.

Thats a great idea.

I was thinking the same thing about the cost of the tank hold downs. way over priced

I saw a setup once that used 1/4 cable and stainless steel turnbuckles.

That's a good idea also. I have left over cable from when I hung my Riding lawn mower from the ceiling . I got tired of it being in my way. Thank god I had a high ceiling. I installed a pulley in the ceiling over by the wall and ran it down to the floor where I anchored a 12v winch ( $39) to the concrete floor.

I bought plates with a D loop at Harbor Freight and bolted them to my trailer. I used ratchet tie down straps and secured my tanks to the trailer. I can remove my tank within a minute and remove if needed. You can buy these tie down plates at trailer supply stores.

B. A.'s distinctive appearance and confrontational attitude usually lead to a more direct approach to problems, which often involve either his skills at hand to hand combat, or his mechanical talents.

Hannibal once said to B. A., "With a pair of pliers and a little time, you could fix anything but dinner

Thanks David
I needed to tie down 2 tanks in the pressure washing van I'm outfitting (not used for roof cleaning) and the tie down problem came up. I ordered the hardware today from a mobile home place my Lowe's did not have it. I never even heard of a split bolt. RCIA Prem site paid for its self today.

So glad I could be of help.

Here is one I did so my grinder won't take up counter space when I am not using it. It slides out on drawer glides and then flips up onto the counter. I epoxied magnets from old hard drives to it and then glued 2 more magnets to a piece of wood under the counter. That was enough to hold it in place.

Roof Cleaning Raleigh NC · Feb 19, 2011

After looking at the first picture I just realized I can make a little drawer and slide it right in there. That would be a good place to keep a couple vise grips and screw drivers. Tomorrows project!

Very cool ideas David.....
Yep, your definitely the Macgyver of the RCIA.... Lol
