These are very common in the fire service. The tank is pretty much always at the front because the pump is at the back so that you can get at the motor controls and the valves. If you were going to store it dry and fill it up when you wanted to use it you could put it on and take it off easily with a fork lift. If you needed to keep it full it would have to be a big fork lift or an overhead lift. You would most likely want self-fill capability so you need a gated 2.5 inch discharge line to the tank from the pump, along with the 2.5 inch suction line from the tank to pump. In order to readily separate the pump from the rest of it you would want unions in the lines. The general design would be dictated by the shape of the tanks. The pump could be held in place between two pieces of "L" stock. You would tee off from the 2.5 inch discharge with a second 2.5 inch pipe upon which would mount a 2.5 x 1.5 gated wye. You should be able to pick these up from your fire dept because every truck carries two and they get replaced every 10-20 years whether they get used or not.
