Idea for gas bottle transport

admin

So I'm building a trailer and I'm making a gas bottle rack for it but I want to be able to lock it up so I'm thinking of making a rack with locking bolts to hold in place (just tightien stug against the bottle and building a cabinet with a hole in the top to go on the rack with a door and lockable latch. To move bottle unlock door and loosen bolts.  Thoughts?Thanks, Hotshot
Reply:Is the bolt going to push against the bottle? Not a good idea as it will create a micro-stress deformation in the side of the bottle leading to the possibility of future failure. Better to make 2 half bands to go around the bottle and tighten them so it can not be easily pulled out.
Reply:yea, i think theres some better more efficient ways out there than this. I started thinking about it more and its more trouble than anything to do it this way. i was thinking to much into it
