Best for households needing two mounting points or shared installations. The kit provides two brackets with safety features. Safety chain support enhances hold. Consider this if you regularly transport two 11 lb cylinders or want redundancy in mounting.
11 lb & 4.25 lb Tank Holder Mount
Best for limited space or 9-inch mounting needs. This holder supports 11 lb and 4.25 lb tanks with adjustable stainless steel straps. It includes multiple strap mounting points and rubberized trim to prevent scratches. Choose this if you value compact dimensions and secure, height-adjustable mounting.

Avoid this if your cylinder isn’t Flame King 10 lb or if you need a multi-tank setup.
Buying Guide
What size propane tank bracket do I need? The options shown are designed for 11 lb cylinders and similar 9″ to 10″ tall tanks. Measure your tank height and mounting space on your vehicle to ensure compatibility with strap length, bracket depth, and clearance around the cap.
What mounting style should I choose? Wall-mounted brackets with straps are common for trucks and trailers. Some models include safety chains or dual-bracket designs for redundancy. If you travel rough terrain, rubber padding and bumper protection help prevent tank scratches and shifting.
What materials matter? Steel frames offer durability for frequent travel, while rubber padding protects the tank surface. Stainless steel straps resist corrosion in damp or salty environments. For RVs, consider brackets with adjustable straps to accommodate small height variations.
How important are additional features? Quick-release or adjustable latches speed access when you need to swap tanks. Safety features such as multiple strap mounting points and rubberized trims reduce wear and noise while driving.
Is a single-tank or dual-tank setup better? If you routinely carry more than one cylinder, dual brackets with safety chains provide redundancy and balance. For compact vehicles, a single-tank bracket with a compact footprint is often sufficient.
Common considerations
- Compatibility with your tank brand and model.
- Mounting location on your vehicle (bed, wall, trailer frame).
- Ease of installation and whether you need tools for adjustments.
- Weather exposure and corrosion resistance.
- Ease of access for refilling or exchanging cylinders.
