Norwesco 200 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Cradle Tank

The Norwesco 200 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Cradle Tank (SKU N-41305) is a white polyethylene horizontal tank built for stable above-ground water storage where a vertical tank won't fit. Because it sits low on its own molded cradle, it holds level on a pad or in a bed without a separate stand. This 200 gallon Norwesco horizontal tank runs about 61" long with a 31" tank diameter and roughly 48" overall height on its cradle (dimensions per the product listing), weighs 82 lbs empty, carries an 8" lid, and uses FDA-approved resin rated to a 1.5 specific gravity.

Will it work for your water?

This is a full-water tank rated to 120 F / 48 C. Filled with water, the contents weigh roughly 1,668 lbs, well inside the tank's 2,502 lb rated-contents ceiling. The low horizontal profile makes it easy to strap down and easy to fit under a low roofline, and the 31" diameter keeps the footprint tight. If you're matching gallons to demand, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a size.

Freight: how it ships

The N-41305 ships LTL freight, quoted live to your delivery ZIP. Norwesco lists Iowa, Oklahoma, and Utah as ship-from points for this SKU, so the Freight Estimator routes your quote from the stocking origin nearest you rather than a single fixed plant. Get an exact number from the Freight Cost Estimator or by calling 866-418-1777 - a tank this size crates as a single LTL unit, and quoting to your ZIP is the only way to see the real freight cost.

The mistake to avoid

Match the fluid to the tank's 1.5 specific gravity ceiling before you fill it - the limit is weight, not volume. Water at SG 1.0 fills the tank at about 1,668 lbs. A fluid right at SG 1.5 fills it to the full 2,502 lb ceiling, so anything denser than 1.5 means you must reduce the fill volume to stay under that weight, even when the tank looks far from full. Confirm your fluid's specific gravity and its compatibility with FDA-approved polyethylene before running anything but water. Outlet and plumbing configuration are not specified on this listing - plan around the 8" lid for fill and vent access, review the technical drawing on this page, and confirm any port layout with our team before ordering.
