The 1000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco stands 81 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter footprint, holding a full 1,000 gallons in natural white polyethylene. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the spec that tells you what this tank can actually hold by weight. Water fills it to roughly 8,340 pounds, and the tank is rated to carry contents up to 12,510 pounds, so you have real headroom for liquids denser than water within that 1.5 SG ceiling.
Will it work for your storage job
This is a vertical storage tank built for bulk liquid: water storage, rainwater catchment, irrigation supply, and ag and commercial water reserves. The 64-inch round footprint and 81-inch height make it a compact vertical for sites where floor space is tighter than ceiling clearance, so measure your doorway and overhead before delivery. Note this is the tall, narrow 64 x 81 build, not the squat 72 x 66 version or the 64 x 80 variant in the same line, so match the dimensions on the technical drawing to your site clearance. If you are still settling on capacity, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit, and see the complete buyer's guide for the full rundown on this exact tank.
The 1.5 specific gravity mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a tank like this is reading the 1.5 SG rating as a "store anything" license. It is not. The 1.5 specific gravity figure means the tank wall is engineered for contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water, capping rated contents at 12,510 pounds. If your liquid is denser than that, this tank is the wrong choice no matter how the volume works out. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity against the 1.5 rating first. Then plan rigging for a full load, 8,340 pounds of water and up to 12,510 pounds of rated contents, and confirm your pad and equipment ratings to those numbers. Confirm the inlet, outlet, and fitting configuration against the technical drawing on this page or by calling 866-418-1777 before you size your plumbing.
Freight and how it ships
This 1000 gallon Norwesco vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the nearest stocking plant in Burnet, Texas, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price. At 64 inches wide the tank overhangs a standard 48-inch pallet, which is normal for this class but affects the LTL quote, so pull your exact number from our Freight Cost Estimator before you budget. You can also call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you and answer any fitment questions on this Norwesco 1000 gallon vertical tank.
