The Norwesco 110 Gallon Portable Flat Bottom Utility Tank in White is a polyethylene utility tank built for hauling and dispensing on a truck bed, trailer, or skid. Its flat bottom sits fully supported on a flat deck, which is what keeps a portable transport tank stable and load-spread while you move it. What sets this Norwesco apart from a baseline water tank is the 1.5 specific gravity rating: the wall is rated to carry liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water, so this single tank covers heavier ag and utility liquids that a 1.0-SG water-only tank can't.
Does it fit your job?
This is a 110 gallon utility tank that earns its keep on water-hauling, spot-spraying, fill-station, and general transport duty where you need a compact, deck-mountable reservoir. Size your vehicle, rack, and tie-downs to the loaded number, not the empty tank. The weight math is simple to plan around:
- Empty: easy to handle
- Full of water: ~917 lb of contents
- Max rated contents (1.5 SG): ~1,376 lb
Match the 1.5 SG rating to your actual liquid and confirm the loaded weight stays within your trailer or truck rating. If you are unsure how 110 gallons maps to your run, the Tank Sizing Calculator and our Tank Sizing Guide walk through volume, weight, and footprint together.
Mounting, fittings, and transport
Always carry a portable utility tank on a continuous, flat, fully supporting surface and strap it down so it cannot shift in transit. See the technical drawing on this page for the tank's dimensions and fitting locations before you build a rack or cut a deck opening. Confirm the outlet and fill-fitting sizes and gasket to your plumbing before you order, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll verify fittings to your setup. If you are running this on a farm fleet or agricultural vehicle, our guide on Norwesco portable utility tanks and the 49 CFR 173.5 agricultural exemption covers DOT classification for farm use. For a fixed install on a pad, review concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks.
The mistake to avoid
The common error with a portable 110 is underbuilding the support and tie-down for the loaded weight. Empty, the tank is easy to handle; full and in motion at up to roughly 1,376 lb of contents, an unsupported flat bottom or a loose strap turns into a real hazard. Spread the load, support the entire bottom, and rate your rigging to the full number. If this tank will feed a rural fire-water or reuse setup, the fire-water reservoir design guide and the industrial water reuse topology guide cover how this tank fits a larger storage train.
Because Norwesco stocks this tank from seven plants coast to coast, it ships LTL freight quoted live to your ZIP from whichever ship-point is closest to you - Fairfield, TX; Griffin, GA; Hanford, CA; Lancaster, OH; Shawnee, OK; Sheldon, IA; or St. Bonifacius, MN - which directly lowers your LTL cost versus a single-origin tank.
