What this cradle does

A cradle gives a flat-bottom tank a stable, purpose-built base instead of leaving it to sit directly on a rail, skid, or trailer deck. This Norwesco saddle belongs to the flat-bottom cradle line and is sized for the 300-gallon class, so it supports the tank it was matched to rather than serving as a generic one-size stand. It is a steel fabrication — call 866-418-1777 to confirm material and fit against your specific tank before ordering.

Fit-up: the mistake to avoid

The most common error with cradles is pairing them with a tank from a different size class or a different manufacturer's mold, which can leave gaps that undermine the support the cradle exists to provide. Before ordering, confirm your tank checks all three boxes:

Capacity class: 300 gallon. Brand: Norwesco mold. Style: flat bottom.

If you are still selecting the tank itself, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you land on capacity first, then match the cradle to it. For stationary installations, the mounting base deserves the same attention as the cradle — our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground tanks covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting the pad right.
