Hicarer 5 lb Propane Tank Mounting Bracket Heavy Duty

The Hicarer 5 lb propane tank mounting bracket is a compact, heavy-duty steel holder with an adjustable stainless-steel strap and protective bumpers designed to secure 5-pound propane cylinders during travel and storage.

This mounting bracket provides a space-saving, weather-resistant solution for transporting small propane tanks on vehicles, boats, or in storage areas. Built from thickened steel with a satin black powder coat, it resists corrosion and adds a solid point of attachment for roll bars, racks, trailers, and other vehicle mounting locations. Rubber padding and a quick-release latch protect cylinders from scratches while keeping them snug under motion and vibration.
