Newberry UL 142 Single Wall Skid Tank – 1000 Gallon Fuel Tank

This Newberry Farm skid tank – single wall – 500 gallon fuel tank provides safe, durable fuel storage for agricultural operations, irrigation sites, and farm use. For example, you can store diesel, gasoline, or kerosene for tractors, irrigation pumps, and other farm equipment. Therefore, this UL-142 compliant tank delivers reliable fuel storage where you need it most .

Why Choose a Newberry Skid Tank?

Standard fuel tanks often require cranes for repositioning, which adds cost and safety risks. In contrast, Newberry’s award-winning skid tank features a balanced, no-swing design that allows forklift movement when empty, eliminating the need for costly crane rentals . Consequently, you can reposition the tank safely across your farm or worksite without special equipment. Moreover, the skid design includes cutouts that make the tank easy for a forklift to grab . Thus, you gain both safety and cost savings.

500 Gallon Capacity – Perfect for Farm Operations

The 500-gallon capacity provides a practical fuel supply for medium-sized agricultural operations. For example, the tank measures 72 inches long, 45.5 inches wide, and 45.5 inches high, offering a compact footprint that fits easily on farm sites . Likewise, the 500-gallon size holds enough fuel for multiple days of tractor operation or irrigation pumping. Furthermore, the approximate 500 lb empty weight ensures stability when full. If you operate a family farm or agricultural business, this 500-gallon tank matches your fuel needs.

Single Wall Construction – Standard Farm Design

Newberry constructs this tank with standard single-wall, 12-gauge carbon steel for reliable farm use . First, the single-wall design offers a lower initial cost than double-wall tanks – ideal when you have appropriate secondary containment measures in place . Second, the tank undergoes factory leakage testing before shipping, ensuring quality construction . Third, the 12-gauge steel resists impacts common in farm environments. If you have proper spill containment or use the tank in a low-risk area, this single-wall model delivers excellent value.

UL-142 Compliance – Safety Certified

This Newberry tank meets the Underwriters’ Laboratories UL-142 specification for Aboveground Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids . For example, this certification confirms the tank meets rigorous safety standards for construction, venting, and fire protection. Likewise, UL-142 compliance helps satisfy local fire code requirements. Furthermore, emergency vents are available as an accessory for added fire protection . If you need a code-compliant fuel storage solution for your farm, this UL-142 tank meets the requirement.

Skid Design – Easy Forklift Mobility

The integrated skid design makes this farm tank exceptionally practical for agricultural settings. For example, Newberry designed the skid with cutouts that allow forklift tines to easily grab and lift the tank . Likewise, the balanced design eliminates the “swing” that can cause injury or equipment damage during transport . Furthermore, you can move the tank when empty using the forklift you already own – no crane crew needed . If you need fuel storage that moves with your operation, this skid tank provides that flexibility.

Standard Gray Primer Finish

The tank arrives with one coat of gray primer from Newberry’s state-of-the-art paint booth . For example, this primer coat provides initial corrosion protection for the carbon steel surface. Likewise, we recommend adding a topcoat of paint to extend the tank’s lifetime and protect it from outdoor elements . Furthermore, we offer optional colors and coatings upon request . If you plan to install the tank in exposed outdoor conditions, a topcoat will significantly extend its service life.

Recommended Accessories

We offer several accessories to customize your tank for specific fuels and applications . For instance, add a flip top fill cap with lockable design for security . Likewise, choose an updraft vent for diesel (directs vapors outward and upward per NFPA 30) or a vacuum vent for gasoline . Furthermore, we can supply fuel pumps that mount directly into the 2-inch bung on the tank top. If you need a complete fueling solution, add these accessories to your order.

Warranty and Limitations

Newberry backs this tank with a one-year manufacturer’s limited warranty covering defective workmanship and materials . However, note that the warranty explicitly excludes corrosion damage. Therefore, proper paint maintenance and corrosion protection remain your responsibility . For long-term service, we recommend annual inspection and touch-up of any paint damage.
