Ideas for shipping tanks

[Belushi]

I am considering shipping scuba cylinders around the UK
they are twins weighing either 20/30/40kg.

So, I am looking for ideas on how to ship these twins.

Obviously as the postal service is less-than-careful, if they were dropped, the packaging would have to protect the cylinders and their bands.

They will not have valves in, so that isnt a consideration.

At the moment, I am scrabbling around looking for broken pallets to hack up.

But I welcome all sensible suggestion.
Thanks
D.

I got a couple boxes that new cylinders are shipped in and used them. At the ends place some solid styrofoam. As you noted take the valves off - I had someone send me a set of doubles with the valves on that got dropped. THey bought me a new manifold (the shipper declined claim cause it was not protected well enough.)
