Norwesco Loaf Tanks

Norwesco Loaf Tanks

Norwesco loaf tanks are low, rectangular polyethylene tanks with a rounded, loaf-like top. They range from 50 gallons up to 1,050 gallons. Their flat bottom and low height let them sit steady in a truck bed, on a trailer or on a skid. Most are white, and the 100, 200 and 500 gallon sizes also come in black.

What people use them for

  • Portable water in a pickup, UTV or trailer
  • Spray tanks for weed control and small farm jobs
  • Water for livestock, gardens and job sites
  • Low tanks for tight spaces where a vertical tank won't fit

Sizes and features

Sizes are 50, 100, 200, 300, 500 and 1,050 gallons. The 50, 100 and 200 gallon tanks each come in two footprints: the 50 and 100 gallon tanks at 20 or 27 inches wide, and the 200 gallon tank at 36 or 40 inches wide. Loaf tanks come with an 8 inch threaded lid and no outlet fitting. The tanks are rated to 1.5 specific gravity. Check each product's specifications for the exact length, width and height.

Before you order

  • Plan the outlet. These tanks don't come with an outlet fitting. Call us if you need one added, or see Norwesco Accessories for bulkhead fittings.
  • Check your weight. Water weighs about 8.3 lbs per gallon, so a full 500 gallon tank carries over 4,000 lbs of water. Make sure your truck or trailer is rated for the full load.
  • Support the bottom. Set the tank on a flat surface that supports the whole base, and strap it down before you drive.
  • Not for fuel. Don't use these tanks for gasoline, diesel or any other fuel.

Questions we get

Can I haul drinking water?
The tanks are molded from FDA-compliant polyethylene. Check the Certifications line on each tank if you need NSF 61.

Loaf tank or flat bottom utility tank?
Both are low, portable tanks. Many flat bottom utility tanks come with an outlet fitting, and some have a slosh guard. See Norwesco Flat Bottom Utility Tanks.

Do you have a tank shaped for a pickup bed?
Yes. See Norwesco Truck Water Tanks, or Norwesco Low Profile Water Hauling Tanks for larger loads on a flatbed or trailer.
