Peabody 300 gallon cone tank metal stand

Peabody Steel Cone Bottom Tank Stand for 300 Gallon Tanks

A cone bottom tank cannot sit on the floor, because the cone ends in a point with the drain fitting at the tip. This Peabody steel stand gives the tank a level base and keeps that drain point accessible. It is sized for Peabody ProChem cone bottom tanks with a 22.5° slope in the 250 and 300 gallon sizes. A rolled steel ring at the top catches the tank just above where the cone begins. Four legs drop to the floor, tied together by cross braces near the bottom for stiffness. Gussets at the ring support the shoulder of the tank where the load concentrates. The stand leaves 12 inches of clearance under the cone. That gap leaves room for a ball valve, a short drain line or the suction side of a transfer pump. Each foot has bolt holes, so the frame can be anchored to a slab once it is set. The frame is finished in gray paint over the steel. This model has no mixer or agitator bracket, which keeps the top of the tank open for a lid or fill line. Peabody builds its tank stands to the exact dimensions of the tank model they carry.

Installing a 300 Gallon Tank Stand

Choose a level concrete floor that can carry the full weight of a filled tank. Three hundred gallons of water alone weighs roughly 2,500 pounds, before counting the tank and stand. Set the stand in place and check it for level across the ring in two directions. Mark the bolt holes in the feet, drill the slab and anchor the stand before the tank goes in. Install the drain valve on the tank's bottom fitting while the tank is still easy to reach. Lift the empty tank into the ring with enough help or equipment to keep it centered. Make sure the cone hangs freely and does not touch the cross braces. Connect the drain line or pump suction under the cone and support any long runs of pipe. Fill the tank slowly the first time and watch the stand and fittings for movement or leaks. Keep forklifts and carts clear of the legs, since a bent leg can tip a full tank. Inspect the paint for chips now and then and touch up bare steel to slow rust in humid rooms. Pair the stand with the matching 300 gallon 22.5° ProChem tank for a complete mixing station.
