Anybody have any pics or ideas how I can secure my fryer in the trailer?
It's a full size stand up unit, with four legs.

I'm thinking of bolting it to the floor somehow?
How do the concession trailer manufacturers do it?

I seem to be having a brain phart Embarassed

, would appreciate your help.

I don't know on that Ranger.
Mine is a portable, outside use cooker.
I just strap mine in after I drain and filter it into 5 gallon steel buckets with a lid.
Angle brackets maybe?
Looking forward to some more input.

I thought of the angle brackets as well.

Some way to easily bolt it to the wall is another option.

Either way I'd make sure it can be easily disconnected for cleaning/maintenance.

The removal thing would also be nice if you vend a large event and can use it outside for huge quantities of fried foods.

Any good marine store will have SS snap down cleats, some are even lockable...

I've welded a plate on the bottom of ea leg with four holes so's I can use bolts to attach thru the floor and a bracket at the back attached to the wall. There'll be enough acess for cleaning around the back etc, but will be a tad tight.
I'll post a pic when I get it done.

Thanks for the advice all.

Jess-I like the idea of the snap dwn cleats, never seen them before, I'll have to find some.

Great looking install! Cool

You may find that the ATP backsplash is a bit hard to wipe down.

Greased Lightning works wonders.

It does look awesome to be sure!

The ATP really holds up nice over time- you will love it for the floor too!
