U want some with a good tonne rating.  Got 2x 15tonne straps on mine.  Got them off ebay
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

the same could be said for a badly fitted cage, with an upright tank in.

i have 4, 5 ton ratchet straps, and they are on 6 different load hooks holding my tank. and its against the bulk head.

ive got this set up but a 650 ltr with 3 brackets can remove my tank in a few min if needed and the frame is made so you can just screw pumps controlers and stuff strait on to it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400l-upright-Tank-Retaining-Frame-for-window-cleaning-/180804466695?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item2a18c93807 or same frame but looks a bit better here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250L-FRAMED-BUDGET-PURE-WATER-SYSTEM-300GPD-RO-DI-17FT-UNGER-POLE-REEL-WFP-/350516992985?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item519c70dbd9

nothing wrong with ratchet straps! have you seen what they hold on the back of some lorrys?

some of the tank frames for sale old there look pretty shoddy to say the least, that budget frame from the cleaning warehouse looks toss
