Thanks, if all goes as planned, you will either get to come by and see the finished product, or see a massive tank with a crack. I can't find a place to rent the heavy duty suction cups. If I can't find any by Fri, I will probably hire moves to do it so no one gets hurt. With the cups it is pretty easy.

When I bought the 240 I used three two by fours that I cut three feet long. We slid the tanlk out of the truck and onto the first 2x4 that had a guy on each side. Mid way out the next two guys had their 2x4 under the tank. Slid it out the rest of the way and the last two guys got their 2x4 under the back end. Walked it up onto the stand and slid it on. Then slid the stand with the tank on it to the final spot. Will there be room on both sides of your stand?

don't have room for forklift, we might use some straps my dad got off the light night TV infomercial.
We have 2 suction cups used for granite, and mark your idea will work.

Hey Jon get everything ready and when we all come by after the swap meet we can all help set it off for you. im bring a new member with me and we both are coming by so if you get several guys to be there at the same time it won`t be hard on us.
