A swap tank has transverse bars disposed at the standard spacing of ISO containers and end portions extending beyond the transverse bars. Each end portion has associated to it a base frame structure including the said transverse bar and a pair of diagonal struts 14 which extend towards each other and are welded together at the tank end. A support member 24 is welded between the interconnected ends of the diagonal struts 14 and a ring 23 welded to the tank bottom 11 below the tank axis 21. The support member 24 is formed as an integral bent sheet metal part having two lateral triangular wall elements 26. To compensate for manufacturing tolerances, the support member 24 may be adjusted by varying the bending angle in such a manner that the free edges 27 of the triangular wall elements 26 extend parallel and flush with the outwardly facing surface of the ring 23 and may be welded thereto. A structure is thus obtained which not only protect the projecting tank end but also serves to transmit longitudinal acceleration forces from the tank bottom 11 into the corner fittings 13 provided at the ends of the transverse bar. |
