ABSTRACT:
A tank apparatus includes a tank, a base for supporting the tank, and a top protector supported on the base and extending above the tank for permitting a plurality of apparatuses to be stacked on top of one another without transmitting compressive loads on the tanks of underlying apparatuses. The base includes a bottom wall, an understructure depending from the bottom wall for bearing the weight of the base and tank, and a plurality of upstanding hollow columns within which reinforcing members may be provided. The top protector is supported on the columns so that compressive loads exerted on the top protector are transmitted to the base without being transmitted through the tank. Thus, the load bearing capacity of the apparatus is determined by the strength and rigidity of the base and reinforcing members independent of the tank construction.
