Frames and racks for tanks are necessary elements for the safe and stable installation of LPG or CNG tanks in cars, trucks and power generators. They ensure proper fixing of the tank to the car chassis and protect it from damage.
Types of frames and racks for tanks in gas installations
Universal frames: Fit a variety of car and tank models.
Dedicated frames: These are designed for a specific car and tank model, ensuring a perfect fit.
Frames: Lighter and less elaborate than frames, used for the installation of smaller sized LPG tanks.
Frames and frames are usually made of strong materials such as steel or aluminium. They can be powder coated or galvanised to protect them from corrosion.
Functions of frames and racks for LPG/CNG tanks
Stable fixing: The frame or rack provides a stable fixing of the tank to the vehicle chassis, preventing it from moving while driving.
Tank protection: The frame or rack protects the tank from mechanical damage, such as the impact of stones or branches.
Load distribution: The frame or rack distributes the load of the tank onto the chassis of the car, preventing damage to the body.
Installation of LPG frames and racks
The installation of frames and racks should be carried out by a qualified mechanic or gas fitter. Fitting includes:
Selecting a suitable frame or rack: The frame or rack must fit the size of the tank.
Fixing the frame or rack to the chassis: The frame or rack is fixed to the car chassis using bolts or other fixings.
Fixing the tank to the frame or rack: The tank is fixed to the frame or rack with screws or other fixings.
Important operating notes
Use frames or racks from reputable manufacturers to ensure a safe and durable installation.
Assembly of frames and frames should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Regularly check the condition of the frame or rack for damage and corrosion.
