Horizontal leg tanks integrate molded support legs into the tank shell — no separate cradle or stand purchase, no bolt-up, no failure interface between vessel and support. The leg geometry is the defining feature: it sets ground clearance for outlet valves, drainage to a sump, and field-side accessibility. Catalog covers Norwesco, Snyder Industries, Chem-Tainer, Enduraplas, and Bushman leg-tank SKUs from 35 gallons (utility) to 3,200 gallons (commercial nurse / hauling).
Applications
Agricultural nurse-tank service — water and chemical refill for sprayers in the field
Stationary bulk storage where overhead clearance is limited (low-profile horizontal)
Mobile DEF / AdBlue refueling and dispensing
Skid-mounted dosing and chemical staging
Compliance & Standards
Typically rotomolded to ASTM D1998; FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 resin compliance varies by model (see each product's Specifications). Leg tanks intended for highway transport must use proper baffling — verify whether your selected SKU includes internal baffles or is sold as stationary-only. DOT 49 CFR 178.345 governs portable cargo tanks for hazmat; consult your shipper for non-water transport. For ag/non-hazmat use, follow OEM strapping and load-securement spec.
Engineering & Selection
Two configurations dominate this catalog: cone-bottom legs (sump-style, total drain to a centerline outlet) and flat-bottom legs (residual but simpler geometry). Sump-bottom variants drain completely for chemical service; flat-bottom variants are cheaper and adequate for water. Saddle/cradle is built in — no additional band or stand purchase. Confirm outlet diameter and position before ordering: 2" for gravity to drum, 3"–4" for pump-suction or transfer line.
Freight & Delivery
Tanks ship LTL motor freight from the closest stocking warehouse to your delivery ZIP. Typical transit 5–10 business days. Liftgate available at delivery (per-shipment fee). Always inspect at delivery and note damage on the bill of lading before signing — that is the carrier claim trigger. Bulk-order consolidation reduces per-tank freight 25–40%. Get your LTL freight quote by ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 for same-business-day quoted pricing.
Sizing & Selection
Match capacity to your trailer or skid footprint. Most leg tanks list axle-to-axle length and outside width — confirm against your platform before ordering. Need a sizing or compatibility review? 866-418-1777.
