I am not sure of the best place to post this as it is an odd ball topic but I suppose here is as good as any.
I frequently haul up to 25 or more tanks around. I have a short box truck with a rolling tonneau cover. I'd like to be able to store gear in the front of the box with the tonneau partly closed and have a rack at the back for the tanks. In Canada, if you are transporting more than 5 tanks they have to be securely stored upright. I have been designing a ladder style rack to strap the tanks to but I was wondering if anyone on here has built a setup before or has any suggestions. I have a big shop and lots of fabricating experience so I can build just about anything and can weld aluminum... but the challenge would be finding the most ergonomic setup. It would also be nice to be able to remove the rack when not in use.
I would also like the setup to store my 4-5 personal tanks and 2 stages laying down with the tonneau closed when not transporting other tanks.
Personal tanks are 2 S120's, 2 S80's and Al80... all other tanks are Al80's.
Thanks for any input and photos would be great as well if you have them!
