Stock Tanks
Stock Tank Categories
Galvanized stock tanks offer an effective means of providing water to your livestock and are a traditional source of water for all your animals. Made from 20 and 22-gauge steel, they have a 7/8 OD pipe rolled into the top edge providing strength and rigidity that protects animals as well. The sides feature corrugations for wall strength and have a screw-in drain plug for ease of draining.
We also offer poly stock tanks made from long-lasting poly that won’t ever rust or corrode. They are built for durability, won’t dent, and will provide years of use in all types of climates. The polyethylene creates one-piece construction so there are no seams, solder joints, or places for leaks to occur. A uniform thickness means no thin edges or corners and the plastic walls allow for hog drinkers to be installed. Each tank comes with a two-year warranty.
For very large watering options, we have bottomless stock tanks that offer volume capacities of 2,668 gallons on up to 11,486 gallons for those very large herds. As large as 27’ in diameter, they provide a simple and effective means of getting water to a large number of animals with minimal effort. Made from 12 gauge steel, they are built for years of use and are also available with liners.
Benefits of Using Stock Tanks
Stock tanks effectively meet the hydration needs of your livestock while providing additional benefits that enhance the overall efficiency of your farm or ranch operation. This means less time and labor spent on refilling smaller watering reservoirs and peace of mind knowing that your animals have access to clean and fresh water at all times!
