Since tanks are large and heavy, shipping requires planning:
- Transportation Method: Larger tanks may need flatbed trucks or special permits for oversized loads. It is advisable that the tank be fabricated at factory that is equipped with tools and remain a diameter size below 4200mm diameter to ease road transportation.
- Site Access: Cranes or forklifts may be needed to unload and position the tank.
- Packaging & Protection: Tanks are often wrapped or crated to prevent damage during transit.
- Customs & Export (for international projects): Extra documentation and clearance steps may be needed.
