Mounting Services Built for Canadian Fleets
Dependable Truck & Tank provides professional tank mounting services for fleets bringing their own tank, upgrading a chassis, or moving a tank between trucks. From a single tank mount installation to a full fleet remount program, every job is engineered around your chassis, weight distribution, and application.
What Is Tank Mounting?
Tank mounting is the process of securing a tank body onto a truck chassis using a properly engineered subframe, so the finished unit distributes weight correctly and holds up under road use. Fleets across Canada rely on a professional chassis mounting service to move a tank onto a new or replacement truck without compromising structural integrity or axle balance.
Whether you need a new chassis mount for a freshly built tank or a tank remount when transferring an existing tank to another truck, Dependable Truck & Tank builds the subframe and mounting hardware around your specific chassis and tank combination.
Mounting Services We Provide
Every mounting job depends on the chassis and tank involved, so we scope each one around your specific setup.
New Chassis Mounting
We mount a newly fabricated tank onto a new chassis, engineering the subframe and mounting points to match the tank’s weight and compartment layout.
Tank Remount
A tank remount transfers an existing tank from an aging or damaged chassis onto a replacement truck, extending the service life of a tank that’s still structurally sound.
Cross-Chassis Mounting
When a fleet standardizes on a new truck make or model, we re-engineer the mounting subframe so an existing tank fits correctly on the new chassis.
Multi-Compartment Tank Mounting
Mounting a multi-compartment tank requires additional attention to weight distribution across compartments, which we account for in every subframe design.
Auxiliary Equipment Mounting
We also mount pumps, reels, meters, and other equipment onto the chassis alongside the tank, so the finished unit is ready to run.
Smart Solutions for Weight Distribution & Compliance
Every mount we install is engineered to keep axle weights within provincial limits and maintain the structural rating of both the tank and the chassis. A poorly executed mount can shift weight distribution enough to cause overload violations or long-term chassis stress, which is why we treat mounting as engineering work, not a bolt-on job.
Standard practice includes custom subframe fabrication matched to the tank’s dimensions, torque-specified mounting hardware, weight distribution calculations before installation, and a full inspection once the tank is secured. Every mount is completed with your unit’s B620 certification and provincial compliance in mind.
Applications Across Canada's Tank Truck Fleets
Our mounting services support fleets across a wide range of tank truck applications.
- New Build Mounting: When we fabricate a new tank in our shop, mounting is built into the process, so the finished unit leaves ready to load.
- Chassis Replacement: When a chassis reaches the end of its service life, we remount the existing tank onto a replacement truck instead of building new.
- Fleet Standardization: When a fleet moves to a new chassis make or model across its trucks, we handle the mounting work needed to keep existing tanks in service.
- Third-Party Tank Mounting: We also mount tanks fabricated elsewhere, provided they meet the structural specifications needed for a safe, compliant installation.
Equipment That Fits How Your Crew Works
A proper mount accounts for more than the tank itself. We handle every mounting job with:
- Custom-fabricated subframes matched to tank dimensions and chassis type
- Torque-specified mounting hardware for long-term structural integrity
- Weight distribution calculations completed before installation
- Auxiliary equipment mounting for pumps, reels, and meters
- Post-mount inspection to confirm alignment and compliance
Every mount we complete is fitted to your specific tank and chassis combination, not a generic bracket kit.
Custom Mounting Work for Canadian Fleets
A properly engineered mount starts with your tank specifications and chassis, not a one-size-fits-all subframe. Our process:
Consult & Assess
We review your tank, chassis, and application to determine the subframe design and mounting hardware needed.
Mount & Inspect
Our team fabricates the subframe, mounts the tank, and inspects weight distribution before the unit leaves the shop.
Deliver & Support
Ongoing inspection and remount support keeps your unit compliant as your fleet's chassis or tanks change over time.

- Mounting engineered for proper weight distribution and long-term durability
- New chassis mounts, remounts, and cross-chassis mounting all handled in-house
- Auxiliary equipment mounted alongside the tank in the same job
- Weight distribution calculations completed before every installation
- Ongoing inspection and remount support after delivery

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tank mounting?
Tank mounting is the process of securing a tank body onto a truck chassis using an engineered subframe, so the finished unit is structurally sound and properly weight-balanced.
Can you remount an existing tank onto a new chassis?
Yes. A tank remount lets you transfer a structurally sound tank onto a replacement truck instead of retiring it with the old chassis.
Do you mount tanks that weren't built by Dependable Truck & Tank?
Yes, provided the tank meets the structural specifications needed for a safe, compliant mount, we can mount third-party tanks onto your chassis.
Will mounting affect my truck's weight compliance?
No, when done correctly. We complete weight distribution calculations before every mount to keep axle weights within provincial limits.
Can you mount pumps and equipment along with the tank?
Yes. We mount pumps, hose reels, meters, and other auxiliary equipment onto the chassis as part of the same mounting job.
Do you offer mounting for fleet standardization projects?
Yes. When a fleet switches to a new chassis make or model, we handle the mounting work needed to keep existing tanks in service across the fleet.
