Norwesco 1250 Gallon Hauling Water Storage Tank with Low Profile Design in White

The Norwesco 1250 Gallon Low Profile Hauling Water Storage Tank is built for moving water across the property, not just parking it. Molded from polyethylene at Norwesco's Shawnee, Oklahoma plant and carried in white, this low-profile transport tank holds 1,250 gallons in a wide, low-slung body that keeps the load close to the trailer deck for a stable, road-ready center of gravity. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which gives the shell extra margin for the shock and surge loads of road transport rather than capacity for a denser fluid you would store. If you are shopping a Norwesco water storage tank for hauling water, this is the low-profile workhorse of the line.

Will this water tank work for your job?

Filled with water, this tank weighs about 10,425 pounds at full capacity, and the shell is rated to hold up to 15,638 pounds of contents at its 1.5 specific gravity rating. That weight headroom is the practical reason to pick a transport-rated tank: water at roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon already puts thousands of pounds over your axles, and the low profile geometry keeps that mass low so the trailer tracks straight under braking and on turns. Outlet placement, fill location, and overall dimensions are on the technical drawing on this page, so check those against your trailer deck before you commit. If you are matching this tank to a trailer or a fire-water reservoir, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the loaded weight lines up with your trailer rating and tie-down plan before you buy.

Mounting and field use

A low profile design earns its keep in transport and hauling water service: the reduced height makes filling and gravity-feeding easier and keeps the loaded mass low for a stable center of gravity. For the full procurement and field picture on this series, the Norwesco Low-Profile Hauling Tank Series field operations and procurement guide walks through mounting, baffling considerations, and compliance. If you are sizing a rural or remote fire-water reservoir around this storage tank, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.

The mistake to avoid

Spec your trailer, axles, and tie-downs to the loaded weight, not the bare tank. The number that matters is roughly 10,425 pounds of water at full capacity, and the shell will physically accept up to 15,638 pounds of contents at its 1.5 specific gravity rating. Size your transport hardware and brakes to that loaded figure, then confirm the fill and outlet locations from the technical drawing so the plumbing reaches where you need it on the deck.
