Norwesco 2610 Gallon Skid Frame

The Norwesco 2610 Gallon Skid Frame is the structural steel base built to carry a 2610-gallon Norwesco tank as a skid-mounted unit. This is the frame itself, not the tank: a fabricated steel platform measuring 139 in. long by 94 in. wide and 15 in. tall, with an empty weight of 699 lb. If you are configuring a skid-mounted Norwesco water storage setup, this is the component that turns a standalone tank into a transportable, forkliftable, ground-anchored assembly.

Does it fit your setup?

The footprint is 94.0 x 139.0 in., so plan your pad, trailer deck, or equipment bay around that rectangle plus clearance for strapping and the fittings on the tank it will hold. At 15 in. tall the frame keeps the tank low and stable, which matters for center-of-gravity when the unit is moved full or partially full. Confirm the frame model matches the specific 2610-gallon Norwesco tank you are pairing it with before ordering, since the tank body, saddle contour, and tie-down points are what the frame is dimensioned to. See the technical drawing on this page for the frame layout and overall dimensions, and use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are still settling on the tank volume for the application.

Material and load planning

The frame is steel, rated as a Tank Frame in the Skid-Mounted Storage Tanks class. Steel gives you the rigidity to lift and relocate a filled or drained tank without the tank body taking structural load, but it also means you have to plan for real weight. At roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, water alone in a full 2610-gallon tank is about 21,800 lb, and that sits on top of the tank body plus the 699 lb frame, so a filled skid runs well past 22,000 lb. Size your forklift, lifting points, and ground anchoring to the loaded figure, not the empty frame. For a permanent installation, review pad requirements in our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. If this skid feeds a rural or remote fire-water reservoir, our NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir design guide covers the sizing discipline that drives frame-and-tank selection.

The mistake to avoid

Do not order the frame in isolation and assume it will cradle any 2610-gallon tank. Skid frames are matched to a specific tank geometry; a mismatched frame can leave the tank unsupported at the load-bearing contact points. Verify the pairing against the Norwesco skid assembly you intend to build, and call us at 866-418-1777 if you want that confirmed before it ships.

This skid frame ships LTL, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from the Norwesco facility nearest you, with production locations including St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, Shawnee, Oklahoma, Washington Court House, Ohio, and Utah among the plants serving this line. Because the steel frame carries real weight, get an accurate delivery number up front with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the freight and confirm frame-to-tank fit in the same conversation.
