Custom Tanks

Southern Tank has been building custom tanks for as long as we’ve been in business. Since our founding in 1937, we’ve expanded from small petroleum tanks to a wide range of specialized designs.

Custom Tank Solutions That Go Beyond Expectations

At Southern Tank, we specialize in building tanks that meet the most demanding and unconventional needs. From compact hydraulic oil tanks that support satellite launches, to towering water tanks engineered for dairy barn waste systems — our work spans industries and missions.

We’ve delivered six-compartment lubricant tanks for streamlined operations, stainless steel double-wall tanks for secure by-product collection at classified sites, and realistic training tanks built for hands-on learning. Our generator base tanks power remote military installations, and our custom fuel tanks support rigorous engine testing across sectors. Whatever the challenge, we bring precision, innovation, and purpose-built design to every project.

Industrial, Energy and Agriculture

Common custom builds include condensate and dirty oil tanks for cleaning and maintenance. These tanks handle grease, chemicals, and hazardous waste, and may feature double walls, dished or flat heads, and protective linings.

Past projects show our versatility:

• Data Center storage tanks
• Sprinkler tanks
• Surge bins
• Exhaust stacks
• Asphalt sealer tanks
• Oil reservoirs
• Dip tanks and vats
• Sprinkler System tanks
• Open or closed top mixing tanks
• Culverts, feed troughs, Slop tanks
• “Disc and donut” assemblies
• Custom rolled and cut steel

If it’s made of carbon or stainless steel, just send us your plans or a sketch. We’ll gladly take a look. Southern Tank is more than standard shapes — we’re a “can-do” company ready for most any challenge.
