Wind & Seismic Restraints

Why restrain a tank

Plastic tanks are light when empty and can be moved by wind, seismic activity or the motion of their contents. Securing the tank and any stand protects the tank, its fittings and the piping connected to it.

Our cable tie-down system

A cable tie-down system for Bailiff Enterprises vertical tanks under 5,000 gallons in capacity, rated for 120 mph winds.

• Heavy-duty tie-down lugs (2 or 4, based on tank size) molded into the upper sidewall of the tank. Lugs are molded into Bailiff-molded tanks over 265 gallons.
• ¼″ galvanized steel cable with excellent flexibility and good abrasion resistance
• 4″ tall × 4″ deep × ½″ thick cable anchors fabricated from galvanized A36 steel, anchored to the concrete pad
• Cables loop through the molded tie-downs and attach to the anchors with ¼″ galvanized steel shackles
