Construction: The frame is constructed from galvanized zinc steel and is made with CE standard struts that have been tested to construction industry standards for load-bearing capacity. This construction ensures durability and reliability in holding the water tank in place.

Installation: The frame is designed to be semi-assembled, and it comes with a full set of instructions to complete the installation. The base of the frame has pre-drilled holes that accommodate various anchor bolt positions on your van floor. This allows for flexibility in securing the frame to your vehicle.

500 L Upright Tank Retaining Frame — FAQs
1. What is this product?
It’s a retaining frame designed to securely hold a 500 litre upright water tank — mainly used in trade vehicles like vans carrying pure water for window cleaning or other mobile systems.
2. Why would I use this frame?
The frame gives much stronger and safer support for a large 500 L water tank than just straps, helping prevent movement or tipping during transport.
3. What is it made from?
It’s built from galvanised zinc steel with CE-standard struts, giving strength and corrosion resistance for frequent use in vehicles and trade environments.
4. Does the kit include the water tank?
No — this product is just the frame. The tank itself is not included and must be purchased separately.
5. Does the frame come assembled?
It arrives flat-packed with parts and instructions. You (or a mechanic/competent fitter) assemble it as part of installation.
6. Do I need special bolts to fit it?
Yes — the frame does not include mount bolts, so you’ll need to source suitable anchor bolts separately (typically a minimum of six) to secure it to your vehicle floor or base.
7. Can the tank still be removed once the frame is fitted?
Yes — the design allows you to unbolt the tank’s support straps and remove the tank easily if you need to service or replace it.
8. Is this frame suitable for mobile trade use?
Absolutely — it’s ideal for window cleaners and other tradespeople who transport heavy water tanks and need a secure, fixed mounting inside vans or service vehicles.
9. Will it fit other tank sizes?
This specific frame is sized for 500 L upright Wydale-style tanks. Smaller frames exist for 250 L and 350 L tanks, but it’s best to check dimensions and tank compatibility before buying.
10. Is installation difficult?
The frame is designed to be fitted by a competent DIYer or mechanic — you bolt it securely to the floor with anchor bolts and then strap the tank into place. Good tightening and correct bolt choice are key for safety.
