ABS1500 Excavation Mark Out
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 ABS1500 will vary depending on the size of the crane.
To enable the ABS1500 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
ABS1500 into the excavated hole.
