TM Mounting in a Ford Transit Van

[rwcarpet]

Got to check out a neat mounting system in a Ford Transit van yesterday. This was for ProChem machines. As you might know, drilling holes in the wrong area of the Transit can void the warrantee. If placed in the right areas, warrantee is not voided. This framework assures that you will correctly mount the TM and not void warrantee. I'll check Monday to see if the inventor will share some pics. Those Transit vans are really nice and roomy height wise, but still the normal width of a van.

Would be nice to see some pics, is he making them for customers or just for himself?

Some TM designs have tanks that span completely across the width of the van.

This allows even weight distribution across the floor & between the four wheels.

Mount a bracket/frame/rail system in the van then mount everything else to it !!

Everyone overstresses over this.

Flat plate sized to allow BOTH bolt to approved van holes AND proper machine mounts.

A $50 1 hr fix.

He says he making them for custys. I'm not sure how he will market it. I think Lee Stockwell is right. Anyone with any welding or fabbing experience can build their own frame. Or don't go with Ford Transits.
I didn't get to stop at his place today....was actually busy! Tomorrow, too. I may make it out there for pic's.
