The Enduraplas 1200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 901200-1.5-BLK) is a black polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water holding at a fixed, ground-level location. It stands 68 inches tall on a 76-by-76-inch base and holds 1200 gallons. If you are cross-shopping this against a 1200 gallon vertical water tank or a black poly bulk storage tank, the dimensions and full-water weight below are the numbers that decide whether it fits your pad and your freight budget.
Will it work for your site?
The tank holds 1200 gallons in a vertical configuration, 68 inches high on a 76-by-76-inch base. The water alone weighs roughly 10,008 pounds when full, before you add the tank and fitting weight, so the pad or slab underneath has to carry more than five tons. That is the single most important planning number here: size the foundation to the full loaded weight, not the empty tank. Run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour anything. If the tank will sit on a fresh slab, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework that governs a load like this. Fitting and outlet sizes are not published for this SKU, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm the layout before you plumb it.
How does it ship?
This is an LTL freight item. It ships from the nearest Enduraplas plant and freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP, so use the Freight Estimator for a real number to your address, or call 866-418-1777 and we will price it with you. Because the tank ships upright and empty, it moves as a large, light, high-cube piece, so a liftgate and a clear drop location keep the delivery moving.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is under-building the base. Full, this tank puts roughly 10,008 pounds of water plus its own tare on the ground, and a vertical poly tank bears on a round base — a 76-inch-diameter circle, not a square contact patch. It needs level, continuous, full-diameter (76-inch) support. Partial support or an unlevel pad concentrates load on the tank wall and shortens its life. If this water will support fire protection or long-term reserve service, our writeup on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing and our overview of HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing are worth reading before you commit.
