The Norwesco 1025 gallon black horizontal leg tank is built for haul-and-transport duty, mounted on a trailer or skid and moved between fill point and job site. The molded leg profile cradles the tank so it stays put while you're rolling, and the black polyethylene shell blocks light to slow algae growth in the water you're moving. Filled with water, this 1025-gallon horizontal leg tank carries roughly 8,548 pounds, so before you tow anything, confirm your trailer, axles, and tie-downs are rated above 8,548 lb of tank-plus-water. If you're working out whether a 1025-gallon tank is the right size for your spray runs or fill cycles, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you match capacity to the job.
Will it work for your haul setup
This is a 1025-gallon Norwesco horizontal leg tank molded from polyethylene, designed to be hauled rather than set as a stationary fixture. The flat-bottomed leg design keeps the center of gravity low and gives you bearing surface across the trailer deck, which matters when a full tank of water shifts on turns and stops. Fitting and outlet locations and sizes are shown on the technical drawing on this page, so confirm the thread size and outlet against your hose, cam-lock, or bulkhead fitting before ordering. The drawing also shows leg spacing and overall dimensions so you can check the tank matches your trailer frame and plumbing. The full water weight of about 8,548 pounds is the number to design your transport around: tongue weight, axle rating, and strap placement all key off that figure when the tank is topped off.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a haul tank is treating water weight as a static number. At roughly 8,548 pounds full, a moving tank puts dynamic load into the trailer every time you brake or corner, so undersizing the trailer or skipping proper tie-downs is how these go wrong in the field. This is a water-and-transport-weight design: 8,548 pounds full assumes plain water. For fertilizer or any liquid heavier than water, the loaded weight rises with the specific gravity of the liquid and may exceed what your rig is rated for - verify the liquid's specific gravity against the tank's rating shown on the drawing before you fill. For agricultural transport, the classification of your loaded trailer matters too; our guide on Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and the companion piece on 49 CFR 173.5 agricultural exemption and DOT classification walk through the non-roadable trailer and farm-fleet rules. If you're blending or carrying fertilizer, the guide to fertilizer-blend tank stratification covers density-driven layering and the mixing protocol that keeps your spreader running on spec.
