BOTTOMLESS STOCK
TANKS
WHEN YOU NEED LOTS OF CAPACITY
IN PERMANENT LOCATIONS
Galvanized steel from 10 gauge to 20 gauge.
Reinforced at the rim with 2"x2" angle iron, 1/8"
thick. Usually of 34" height for extra capacity. Sidewalls
punched with single row hill and valley on vertical seam. 9-3/8"
spacing on one horizontal seam (where angle attaches). Fasteners
included.
Tanks come in diameters from 15' to 42' (in
3' increments). Capacities range from about 4000 gallons to 30,000
gallons. Our prices are extremely competitive because we typically
use steel for these tanks that may not exactly fit with our other
steel requirements. A range of gauges, sheet height and thus capacities
are available. Call our sales desk with your requirements. Sheets
may have minor discoloration but have adequate galvanizing.
