What is the proper method for moving a tank?

Lifting a tank by using lifting lugs is the proper method because these lugs are specifically designed to support the weight of the tank during movement. They ensure that the weight is evenly distributed, reducing the risk of damage to the tank or injury to personnel. This method provides stability and safety, making it the most effective and compliant approach for moving large tanks.

Using heavy machinery might sometimes be necessary, but it typically requires additional safety considerations and coordination. Dragging a tank on the ground can severely damage both the tank itself and the surrounding environment and is highly discouraged. Lifting from the base is not ideal because it can compromise the structural integrity of the tank, leading to potential failure or damage. Overall, utilizing lifting lugs is the safest and most appropriate method for relocating tanks in compliance with industry best practices and safety regulations.
