The Norwesco 1610 / 2010 Gallon Skid Frame is a fabricated steel base sized to cradle Norwesco's 1610- and 2010-gallon tank family (the frame holds no liquid). It measures 137 x 75 x 10 in and ships at 566 lb empty — a rigid, forkliftable, tie-down-ready foundation that turns a loose poly tank into a single movable, securable unit. If you are staging bulk water for a remote site, a fire-water reservoir, or a mobile fill station, this is the frame that carries the tank; it is not a tank itself.
Will it work for your setup?
Check the footprint first. The skid gives you a 75 x 137 in seating area with a low 10 in profile — confirm the base of your 1610 or 2010 gallon Norwesco tank sits within it, and confirm your pad, trailer deck, or truck bed can carry the frame plus a full tank of water. That loaded number is what drives everything downstream: a 2010-gallon tank holds roughly 16,700 lb of water at full fill (2010 gal x 8.34 lb/gal), on top of the 566 lb frame and the tank's own weight. The skid is steel, a structural carrier — it does not hold liquid and it does not replace a properly poured slab under permanent full-time load.
Sizing the tank and the pad
Run your capacity and weight math before you order. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide confirm gallons-to-footprint, and if the frame will sit on a permanent slab rather than a trailer, the concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI framework for supporting a full above-ground tank. For fire-protection and remote-site reservoir builds, the NFPA 22 reservoir design guide covers how a skid-mounted tank fits the private fire-protection stack. Match the drawing on this page to your tank's base before committing.
The mistake to avoid
Do not treat the static footprint as your only constraint. This skid is built to carry a specific tank family — size the tank to the frame, not a mismatched tank to the frame. Seat a 1610 or 2010 gallon Norwesco tank, band and strap it securely, and never assume a steel skid substitutes for a poured pad under permanent load. Matching the frame to the right tank is what keeps the assembly stable when it is full.
