Shop Fabricate API Tank

Only if you have a really big "OVERSIZE LOAD" placard, and if all bridges between the shop and destination have at least 10m clearance beneath, or overpasses around.

I guess securing it to a really really big tarp filled with hot helium gas (heat for more lift!) and using the macy's day balloon handlers won't pass muster with you either?

That might work, or a big Sikorsky SkyCrane.

The biggest load I have ever seen transported was a 58-wheeler between Calgary and Edmonton. My girlfriend and I were on our engagement trip in 1991 when we saw this.

It is not usually normal to be able to put these tanks on their sides. It wouuld require some serious bracing to support the top strake and or the roof weld. Fabricate on site or prefabricate sections and field weld on site as suggested..

The term "shop fabricated" implies transportation of the (semi) finished component to the plant site. For shop-fabricated tanks, this is usually by turck

Where are you located...?

Here in the USA, clearance under our bridges over major highways is approximately 14-15 feet. The maximum allowed width is 16-18 feet.

Pressure vessels (distilation columns) over 100 ft have been transported over major highways, but the maximum diameter is usually 12 ft or less.

Your monster tank is far too large to transport over most developed roads in most countries.....

Field fabrication of your "tank".....(are you sure that its not a pressure vessel) seems best.

Haha, 9.5m diameter pressure tank. Is it low-pressure? You can image how thick the wall is if high pressure! Why not separate to more tanks?
