me and my uncle got together today, and were thinking about ways to carry more water, the safest possible way...whilst maximising full potential of the van



they say my van has a 800kg payload, but we thought that its just an estimate and figured that the payload is only for inside the van...i carry a 400 litre inside, so thats half the payload...anything outside van doesnt count




i will be able to carry 1400 litres of water without any problems. as you can see we have secured with 2 ratchet straps which is more than ample to hold it to the van. we did try it with one ratchet strap, but after going over a speed bump figured...we realised that it would have to be 2 of them



if you are interested in our setup, please feel free to contact us anytime.

The weight of that full of water sploshing about would be a lethal it would rip the roof bars off,are you brainless?

[huntercontractors]

This Cannot be a serious posting can it !!!!!!!
i am no engineer by any stretch of the mind but even an idiot would know that the S.W.L of roof bars etc was not intended for anything that heavy and high and non stable

please tell me that someone is having us on, and has not been putting peoples lives in danger?
then we wonder why window cleaners get a bad rep!

Can't believe your thinking of doing that.
There's no baffles in the tank and as posted above the water would be sploshing about it wouldn't take much to rip the roof bars off or tip you over.
I wouldn't be surprised if you got stopped by the Police aswell.
I'm sure also the maximum weight you can carry on the roof would be over it's limit when full of water.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you when you were driving that.

dear me you guys...can you not sence a hint of sarcasm in my post

[takinatrip]

OMG

I cant believe you are thinking of trying that!

For starters its the wrong way up... the filler should be on the top...

How stupid are you..

Re-reading your post i can see it now, but i wouldn't be surprised if some muppet would actually think of doing something like that.

I've seen a trailer tip over because the guy had 3 full IBC tanks, one strapped on the top.
He went round a round-about quite slow, but it still tipped.

IT WAS A JOKE!!!

its a rainy day and im bored so thought id have a laugh! and thought i could make you all laugh too..... obviously not

[craig jwc]

You sure it was a joke or have the replies made you realise what a muppet you were

Bobby if you read the post above you would have realised it was a joke.

I cannot believe some people thought you were serious, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Had to double check my van was still parked outside....thought you'd nicked it!!

[pylofm]

Could you supply that in a double configuaration for my transit?

[Pureandclean]

If you leave the top off the tank, when it's raining it could re-fill itself and save you some money in producing pure water.
Also, at that height you could turn your pump off when doing downstairs windows and just let it syphon out.

[matt]

nowt wrong with that, you could double it up aswell, carry 2400 L

BUT

becarefull when going under bridges

I thought for a minute, where's he gonna put his ladders and then I saw the ladderless sign, so you should be okay mate.

Do you think I could do the same thing with a moped?

[Jon T.C.]

I think it's a goer ! Can't wait for you to post the crash test video 

[Dean Aspects]

I think you should try straping one either side of the van- just to keep the balance right
then it doesn't matter what way you park the van

[NWH]

I use that size tank on a backpack set up.LOL.LWC are you sure you were just winding us all up,i reckon before some of the replies you were considering it.

[LWC]
