The Norwesco 120 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank stands 54 inches tall on a compact 28-inch round footprint and holds 120 gallons. Molded from high density linear polyethylene in natural white, this Norwesco vertical tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the shell is engineered to support contents heavier than water by weight. It is built for water and general liquid storage, so verify chemical compatibility before any non-water service.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your application?
The numbers tell the story. At 28 inches wide by 28 inches deep by 54 inches tall, this tank slips through standard doorways and tucks into corners, pump houses, and trailer beds where a wider tank will not fit. The pack also lists a second 120 gallon vertical in a 38 inch diameter by 31 inch tall format: same capacity, but that shorter, wider option trades doorway clearance for a lower, more stable center of gravity. Pick on the footprint your site needs. If you are not certain this capacity matches your draw or refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Pad load, specific gravity, and material
Filled with water, the tank and its contents weigh about 1,001 pounds, so a level pad rated for that load handles plain water. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the shell can carry contents up to roughly 1,902 pounds at full volume, so if you run anything denser than water, size your pad and base to 1,902 pounds, not 1,001. That 1.9 rating is the ceiling for this shell; if your liquid exceeds 1.9 specific gravity, this is not the right tank, and you should call 866-418-1777 for a higher-rated option rather than overfilling this one. Remember the rating governs weight, not chemical compatibility, and this is high density linear polyethylene, not a cross-linked shell, so linear PE suits water and many ambient liquids but is generally not the choice for aggressive oxidizers or high-concentration acids.
Fittings and the mistake to avoid
This listing does not specify pre-installed fittings, so confirm bulkhead and outlet configuration and gasket material against your liquid before ordering. Check the technical drawing on this page for the tank profile, and call 866-418-1777 with any fitting questions. The single most common error on a vertical storage tank this size is treating the specific gravity rating as a suggestion: confirm your liquid's specific gravity against that 1.9 number, and match your pad and fittings to the actual contents, not just to water.
Freight: how it ships and what to expect
This Norwesco vertical tank ships LTL freight from the plant in Fairfield, Texas. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price, so you see the real delivery number before you commit. Get a figure with our Freight Cost Estimator, compare both 120 gallon formats in the complete buyer's guide, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
