Norwesco's steel stand for the 5500 gallon cone bottom tank
Part number 60358 is the steel stand Norwesco makes for its 5500 gallon cone bottom tank. A cone bottom tank has no flat base, so it needs a stand that cradles the cone and lifts the outlet high enough to get a valve, a pump or a drum underneath. This is the largest stand in the Norwesco line: a welded steel frame 119 inches square at the floor, 45 inches tall, weighing 1150 lb. The 5500 gallons in the name is the tank it is built for, not a capacity of the stand.

What to check before you buy
- The tank. Built for Norwesco's 5500 gallon cone bottom tank. Tell us the tank part number and we confirm the match before the order ships. Our cone bottom tank and stand compatibility matrix lays out which stand goes with which tank.
- The floor. A flat, level, continuous area 119 inches square, with no drain, joint or slope under it. Almost ten feet square is more than a bay in many buildings; measure before you order.
- The height. 45 inches. That decides what fits under the cone outlet: a valve and a hose, a drum, a pump inlet or a mixer. Measure that equipment before the order.
- The load. A full 5500 gallon cone bottom tank on a stand is a very heavy, concentrated load. The tank manufacturer's documentation and your engineer, not this page, are the source for the slab your site needs. Our stand selection decision tree covers the rest.
- Anchoring. No anchor hardware comes with the stand. If your site needs it bolted down, that hardware and the pad design are yours.

Setting it up
Put the stand in its final position first and check it with a level across both diagonals. Set the empty tank in it with a crane or a loader, not by hand, and turn the tank so the outlet points where the pipe will run. Fit the outlet valve before the first fill, and fill with water the first time. Still sizing the tank? Start with the tank sizing calculator.
Shipping and receiving
The stand ships as oversize freight, 119 by 119 by 45 inches and 1150 lb, from the nearest of Norwesco's plants. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, and a piece this size needs a forklift or a loader at the receiving end, not a liftgate. Before the driver leaves, sight down each leg and across the top ring for a corner that took a knock in transit.
Ships from: Ships with your tank, from the same Norwesco plant.
