do anybody know were to buy these in the uk and how much weight they can hold.
 
A 8ft jack is going to cost a ton and be a lot more then you need. Just buy a cinder block to use as the base and cut treated 4X4's the length you need and hammer them in snuggly. Depending how big the tank is 2-3 of these would hold just about anything.
 
my in-laws are builders and those jacks will carry a hell lot more than your two tanks. Ugly looking yokes though. My wife wouldn't be best pleased if I put them up anywhere in the house

lucky for me were my tank is going the floor goes outside about 2ft of the floor ,so they are going outside.
 
The original weight jacks posted (for use with the 4X4) at 8' will hold 20,000 LBS. Why wouldn't those work for you?
