6. DELIVERY AND PLACEMENT
In most areas, tanks will be delivered by a truck equipped with a crane located at the rear
of the vehicle. Such vehicles will back up to the hole, lift and slew the tank into position
behind the vehicle before placing it into the prepared hole. Maximum reach from the rear of
the truck to the centre of ABS will vary depending on the size of the crane.
To enable the ABS to be unloaded, a minimum width of 7m (may vary depending on
crane
truck) will be required at the hole. This distance allows for the width of the crane
truck, the
width of the tank itself, and clearance for safe and free manoeuvring of the
ABS into the
excavated hole.
