I got my prototype this week and it's a work of art. Some really neat CAM fabrication. Here is how it looks sitting atop the tank, Bear in mind this isn't powder coated yet.
As you can see it's loaded with tie down slots. The neat feature of these slots is that they are custom designed for bungee hooks. On the back side of the slots are grooves that have been cut to capture the end of the hook. Neat idea, wish I would have thought of it.
This 1/4" thick 6061 aluminum platform is mounted to the top of the tank using 1" x 1/2" 8020 rail with M5 T-slot nuts.
Use of the 8020 rail allows the platform to be slid on and off by just loosening the bolts. Plus it allows some forward and reverse positioning. Another advantage of the 8020 rail is that it is multi-purpose. Want to take the platform off and mount something of your own? Not a problem since there are literally 100's of options available for this rail.
For mounting the platform without the tank we use the same mounting as the tank, Four M6 stainless steel bolts attached under the deck.
Pricing for the platform (powder coated with choice of color) depends on mounting:
- $175.00 for a platform which mounts with and without the tank (must be ordered with tank since the 8020 rail is welded in place)
- $140.00 for a platform without the tank (this is addition to the cost of the mounting system.
