Custom-Built Tank Saddles for Safe and Stable Transport of Cylindrical Equipment
Transporting cylindrical tanks and pressure vessels requires engineered precision. Without proper support, loads can shift, deform or become unstable during handling and transit.
Gerritsen Packing designs and manufactures custom tank saddles that ensure controlled load distribution, structural integrity and full compliance with international transport standards.
We combine engineering expertise, in-house production and logistics integration to deliver a complete and reliable solution. Safety and quality are never up for discussion.
Why custom tank saddles are essential
Cylindrical equipment is vulnerable during transport. Improper support can result in:
- Structural deformation
- Surface damage
- Instability during lifting
- Uneven weight distribution
- Delays at loading or customs inspections
Our custom tank saddles are engineered to prevent these risks. Each saddle is designed specifically for the diameter, weight, wall thickness and transport method of your equipment.
Engineered for load distribution and stability
Tank saddles are not standalone products. They are part of a controlled transport strategy. Therefor every project starts with a technical assessment.
We evaluate:
- Tank dimensions and center of gravity
- Weight and load points
- Lifting configuration
- Road, sea or container transport conditions
- Securing requirements
Based on this analysis, we produce detailed drawings and calculate optimal load distribution. Our tank saddles are built in our in-house woodshop and manufactured according to ISPM 15 standards.This ensures structural strength, international compliance and seamless export handling.
