How to Secure and Haul Propane Tanks in a Truck

This video demonstrates a straightforward method for hauling propane and other utility tanks in the back of a pickup truck using a secure mounting approach. It highlights how proper positioning and restraint can prevent tanks from shifting during transport, which increases safety and peace of mind.

Step-by-Step Summary

Here’s a quick breakdown of the key steps featured in the video:

  1. Position the Tank Bracket
    Place the propane tank bracket upright close to the tailgate, ensuring it’s centered and stable.

  2. Apply Restraint System
    Use a cargo bar in the hook points on the bracket and extended to truck bed walls to secure. This restricts movement forward, backward, and side-to-side.

  3. Load tanks and barricade bar with 'bungy balls' in correct slots sized for tanks
    Tanks should be prevented from tipping in any direction, there will be 'wiggle room' - but tanks should not tip over.

  4. Visual Safety Check
    Give the tanks a gentle push to confirm minimal to no movement. Safety starts before you drive.
