The Norwesco 150 Gallon Plastic Pest Control Operator Tank in White is a compact 150-gallon polyethylene tank built for PCO spray rigs, where every pound and every inch of bed space counts. At 28 inches tall on a 36 x 48 inch footprint, it drops low and stable behind the cab or on a flatbed, and the 1.5 specific gravity rating gives you headroom for the heavier-than-water mixes a pest control operator actually runs. It is molded at 11 Norwesco plants nationwide, which is why freight stays competitive from almost any region. If you have searched for a Norwesco 150 gallon tank or a 150 gallon PCO tank to mount on a service truck, this is the unit those searches point to.
Will it work for your spray setup?
Filled with plain water this tank carries 1,251 pounds, so plan your truck suspension, mounting straps, and bed rating around that number before you load. The 1.5 specific gravity rating means the tank shell itself is engineered to hold contents up to 1,876 pounds, which covers the concentrated solutions that weigh more than water. Stay under that 1,876-pound ceiling when you fill, and match your fill volume to your route so you are not hauling dead weight. The 28 x 36 x 48 inch dimensions and low profile keep the center of gravity down, which matters on a moving service vehicle. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator to confirm 150 gallons fits your daily application volume, and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between this and a larger or smaller unit.
Mounting and the mistake to avoid
Plan your mounts for the 1,876 lb worst-case rated load, not the 1,251 lb water figure. The common mistake on a PCO build is treating the 1.5 specific gravity rating as a license to ignore weight: the rating protects the tank, not your truck. A full 150-gallon load is roughly 1,251 pounds of water alone, and heavier mixes climb toward that 1,876-pound figure fast, so verify your vehicle and mount are rated for the loaded weight. Strap it down properly and support the full footprint on a flat surface. If your loaded mix approaches or exceeds the 1,876-pound rated-contents limit, do not push this tank past its rating — call 866-418-1777 and we will spec a higher-rated unit for your concentrate.
