Norwesco Saddle Assembly for 110 Gallon Applicator Tank

The tank the name points at

Start with what the name is telling you, since on an accessory the name does more work than any cell. This assembly is sold against an applicator tank of 110 gallons: that figure describes the vessel, not the steel, and no dimension, weight or capacity of that tank has been carried onto this page. An applicator tank is a low, wide vessel meant to be carried on a frame rather than stood on a floor, which is why it needs a purpose-made cradle at all and why the cradle is sixty inches long. Sixty inches is the number to take to the site: that is the length of frame that has to find somewhere flat and continuous to sit. Our write-up on Norwesco applicator and leg tanks covers the vessel side of that family in detail, and the companion piece on Norwesco loaf-style portable utility tanks covers the neighbouring shape. Where the storage volume itself is still open, settle it with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide before you go shopping for the frame under it.

One hundred ten gallons is the host tank's figure

The family question on this record has to be answered without a family, because Norwesco prints no companion part numbers against 60315. What separates it from every other cradle in the catalogue is therefore the tank named in its own title and the four numbers on its own sheet: 60 inches long, 24 inches across, 6 inches high, 47 lb of painted steel. Notice how low that 6 inch height is. This is a frame that cradles a shallow tank close to whatever it is mounted on, rather than a stand that lifts a vessel clear of the ground, and that single figure is the clearest statement of what kind of thing this is. If you are comparing it against anything, compare it against the alternative of mounting a tank on a flat surface with no shaped support at all, which is where the shape of the tank decides the outcome rather than the bolt you happen to have. The gallons in the name stay with the tank throughout; nothing on this page rates the frame, because the sheet does not.

Nothing in the related column, one line in the classification

No comparison table is drawn here because there are no sibling rows to draw it from. The classification Norwesco gives, Flat Bottom Cradles, is the same line that appears on the other cradles in this part range, and it is the thing that tells you the shape of the support: a frame for a tank with a flat base, along a footprint. Read one further consequence out of that. A cradle designed around a flat-bottomed applicator tank of a stated size is not a general-purpose frame, and this record names exactly one host size. It does not publish a list of other tanks it suits, and we are not going to write one. If the tank you own is not the one in the title, confirm the pairing with our team against part numbers rather than against a description.

Assembly is the operative word

1. The store name says assembly, so more than one piece is involved; the record does not break out what those pieces are, and this page does not invent a list.
2. Material is painted steel, colour cell Black, weight 47 lb with the ship weight cell agreeing at 47 lb.
3. Part dimensions are 60 by 24 by 6 inches. The shipping size is printed at 60 by 40 by 12 inches, larger than the part in two directions; both are printed as the sheet gives them and neither is explained.
4. Not printed anywhere on this record: no fastener count, no hole pattern, no figure for what the assembly carries, no coating specification beyond the word painted, and no tank part number.
5. The opening this serves is the underside of the tank. Whether the shape clears the tank's own bottom fitting is a question for the tank; this sheet names no cut-out and no clearance.

The install detail that repays the most attention is the order of operations. Put the assembly together on the ground, in the open, and check the frame sits flat on a known-flat surface before it goes anywhere near its final position. A frame assembled in place, half-reachable, tends to be a frame that is out of flat, and an out-of-flat cradle carries that geometry into a tank for the rest of its life. The honest limitation on 60315 is that the record names an assembly and then says nothing about its assembly: no pieces, no hardware, no sequence.

Forty-seven pounds in a sixty by forty shipment

The record prints six plants, at Hanford in California, Griffin in Georgia, Sheldon in Iowa, St. Bonifacius in Minnesota, Owego in New York and Washington Court House in Ohio, with a ship-from list of ten states. The weight cell and the ship weight cell both read 47 lb. The freight class cell carries the literal string LTL and the ship mode cell reads LTL as well; the NMFC cell reads 95190-01. All of those are printed as the sheet has them and none of them is reconciled against another. Because the shipping size is printed at 60 by 40 by 12 inches while the part measures 60 by 24 by 6, the box is doing the pricing here rather than the 47 lb, which is worth knowing before the quote. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator will cost the lane against your ZIP. When it arrives, measure the shipment across its 40 inch width and give it a gentle rock before you sign: a part narrower than its packaging has room to move, and hardware that has been sliding around inside a box for a thousand miles is hardware worth looking at while the driver is still in the yard. Unpack it on a flat floor rather than on gravel, so that any twist in the frame is obvious the moment it comes out. Save the pallet; a tank that ever has to move again is easier to move on it.
