Shop truck air tank straps at Truckstop Group
Air tank straps hold the compressed air reservoirs in place beneath the chassis, and these reservoirs supply air to the braking system and, on many trucks and trailers, the air suspension as well. A failed strap doesn't just risk a rattling tank, it risks the tank shifting or dropping, potentially damaging the pipework connected to it.
Straps corrode from road salt and general underbody exposure over time, and this is worth checking during routine inspections rather than waiting for a visible problem. A strap that looks intact but has corroded internally can fail suddenly under the vibration of normal driving.
Reservoir diameters vary between vehicles, so strap length and width need to match the tank being secured rather than being treated as universal. Check the existing strap's dimensions and fixing type before ordering a replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do air tank straps actually secure?
They hold the compressed air reservoirs in place beneath the chassis. These reservoirs supply the braking system and, on many vehicles, the air suspension, making the strap's job more significant than it might first appear.
How do I know if an air tank strap needs replacing?
Check for visible corrosion, particularly where the strap contacts the tank or chassis mounting point. A strap that looks intact on the surface can still have corroded internally, so physical inspection during a routine check matters.
Are air tank straps a standard size?
No, reservoir diameter varies between vehicles, so strap length and width need to match the specific tank being secured. Check the existing strap's dimensions before ordering a replacement.
How can I tell if the strap will fit my vehicle?
