A container tank comprises a tank mounted between a pair of end frames by upper bearer members and lower bearer members. The tank comprises a cylindrical shell closed by end caps. Each upper bearer member comprises a bearer plate of arcuate partly circular transverse cross section which is similar to the cross section of the central shell of the tank. Each bearer plate terminates in a transverse tank engaging edge which is seam welded to the cylindrical shell of the tank and a transverse frame engaging edge which is seam welded to an upper connecting member of the end frames.

A container tank comprising: a tank, the tank comprising; a central shell defining a central longitudinal axis and being of at least partly transverse arcuate cross section, and a pair of end caps closing respective ends of the central shell, at least one end frame extending transversely of the longitudinal axis adjacent one of the end caps, and mounting means for mounting the tank to the end frame, the mounting means comprising at least one bearer plate of plate material, each bearer plate extending in a generally longitudinal direction, parallel to said central shell axis, between the tank and the end frame, and having a transversely extending tank engaging end edge, and a longitudinally spaced apart transversely extending frame engaging end edge, the tank engaging end edge and the frame engaging end edge being joined by side edges, the tank engaging end edge of each bearer plate engaging an end of the tank adjacent the central shell at an arcuate portion thereof, and the frame engaging end edge engaging the end frame, each bearer plate being of arcuate transverse cross section, the transverse cross sectional curvature being constant between the end edges, and being substantially identical to the transverse cross sectional curvature of the central shell adjacent the tank engaging end edge.
