I have hauled an awful lot of visibles. The only thing I do, with unrestored units, is lay them down and chock the base and top just below the cylinder with wood blocks screwed to the trailer floor. No need to strap them down unless you are going off roading as gravity will keep them in place. I've moved stuff from Arizona back to the shop in this manner with no issues. If you will observe, in most cases, the cylinder does not come into contact with the base? If it does, then simply place blankets below the lower cylinder mount area to lift the whole end and eliminate a problem. I find that the closer to the trailer the pump is, the less opportunity for damage. As Loyd pointed out above, when they are restored, I get very creative to protect them. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

If you are going to continue to be serious about hauling pumps of any kind, invest in a proper trailer design. You can use ANY trailer, just set it up with high sides and stand your pumps up. You will never damage a pump and you can haul a lot more at one time. Cover up good cylinders. A single road stone can be a very expensive lesson. I know someone that happened to.

Nice setup. You guys have got it going on "rasslin" with those visibles. Back in the day I could manhandle one, but that was the day before yesterday. Keep up the good work ! Dave
