How steep an incline can the Tank Turtles walk a tank up?
A- It depends on the size of the tank; the issue is not the steepness of the incline, but the sharpness of the transition. We recently walked a 50’ diameter tank up 5’ in about a 40’ distance, that’s an 8-1 incline without any problem. In that situation the transition was rather sharp as well, on a larger tank we would need a transition zone long enough to keep the turtles on the ground that are at the halfway point around the tank. However by positioning the Tank Turtles to accommodate the transition sharpness, sharper transitions and steeper inclines could be traversed.
