The Norwesco 2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (model N-42950) in natural white is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk liquid holding. The natural-white translucent wall lets you read the liquid level through the side at a glance, so you always know roughly how full the tank is without opening a lid. Below are the answers to the three questions that decide whether this 2500-gallon Norwesco vertical tank is right for your site: does it fit your job, what does freight look like, and the one thing not to get wrong.
Will it work for your application
This is a 2500-gallon vertical storage tank molded from polyethylene by Norwesco, model N-42950. Filled to capacity with water, the liquid alone weighs roughly 20,850 lb, so plan your pad for at least that load with the empty tank weight added on top (confirm tank weight with us before you order). The slab or pad underneath has to be flat, level, and rated to carry the full filled load with margin. Vertical tanks transfer their entire weight onto a small footprint, and an uneven or undersized base is the most common cause of stress problems down the road, so pour or verify a level concrete pad before the tank arrives. One thing to confirm before ordering: this model ships in more than one footprint, so check the size-specific buyer's guides for 102 x 79, 96 x 96, and 95 x 91 to match diameter and height to your opening and route. Fitting locations and outlet details are confirmed per order, so contact us before you buy. If you are still deciding on capacity, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through matching gallons to your real usage.
What freight looks like
A 2500-gallon tank is an oversized item that ships LTL (less-than-truckload) freight on its own, not by parcel. This unit ships from the Norwesco plant in Petersburg, TX, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code based on that origin and your delivery location. Run your address through the Freight Cost Estimator for a number before you order, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it with you. Plan ahead for delivery: a tank this size typically arrives on a flatbed or liftgate truck, and you will want equipment or hands on site to offload and position it.
The one thing not to get wrong
Match the tank to the liquid. This is a natural-white polyethylene tank sized for water and water-like liquids. If you are storing anything heavier than water or any chemical, the specific gravity and chemical-service requirements change which tank you need, and a standard water tank is not automatically rated for it. For straight water storage, the natural-white wall and 2500-gallon capacity do exactly what you need. If your liquid is anything other than water, confirm the requirements with us before you buy.
