These are replacement leg-tank bands sized for the Norwesco 1610-gallon drainable leg tank, and this listing is for the bands only - not the tank itself. Each 1610-gallon leg tank requires four (4) bands to be properly secured. The bands are steel and measure 72 inches long by 2 inches wide across the strap face; the 49-inch dimension corresponds to the tank height the bands wrap and cradle. They are the structural hardware that restrains the tank body during transport on a non-roadable trailer or applicator frame. If you run Norwesco leg tanks or are spec'ing a new fertilizer or rain-water haul setup, this is the hardware that keeps the tank seated and stable under load.
What these bands do and how many you need
A drainable leg tank carries its weight low and wide, and the band set is what transfers that load from the tank shell into the trailer or frame. For the 1610-gallon model, plan on all four bands - a partial set will not hold the tank correctly. Before you order, confirm whether this listing's cart unit is a single band or the full set of four; if you are unsure, call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the count for your tank. Because these are steel restraint hardware rather than a vessel, there is no specific-gravity rating and no fittings on this part - the SG and fitting questions belong to the tank listing itself, not to this band hardware. Match the 72-inch length and 2-inch strap width against your existing tank and frame so the wrap and bolt spacing line up.
Sizing the load they carry
The 1610-gallon tank these bands support holds a substantial load: filled with plain water it runs about 13,427 lb, and a fertilizer blend at a higher specific gravity will weigh more. That full-water figure is the baseline for confirming your trailer rating and band condition - worn or undersized bands on a fully loaded leg tank are a real failure point. If you are still working out tank size, trailer capacity, or fill weight for a fertilizer application, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you check the numbers, and our guide on Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer covers DOT non-roadable trailer (NRT) scope and how these tanks are classified for farm-fleet use. For blends that tend to settle, our write-up on fertilizer-blend tank stratification covers the mixing and field-verification side.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error is ordering the wrong quantity or assuming bands are universal. This part is for the 1610-gallon drainable leg tank specifically - do not substitute bands sized for a different leg-tank capacity, and confirm your tank is the matching Norwesco 1610 model before buying. See the technical drawing on this page for band placement and dimensions, and verify the four-band requirement against your tank.
