The Enduraplas 1200 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 32701) is a molded polyethylene vertical bulk-storage tank built for water and non-aggressive liquid service. It stands just 56.5 inches tall on an 86 x 86 inch footprint - a wide, low-profile stance that holds a large volume without demanding vertical clearance. That makes it a practical fit for pump houses, equipment sheds, and covered pad sites where headroom is limited but floor space is available. If you are still confirming whether 1200 gallons matches your draw rate and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Will it work for your site
This is a vertical liquid storage tank with a 1200-gallon capacity and outside dimensions of 86 inches wide by 86 inches long by 56.5 inches tall - dimensions verified against launch spec, not guessed from a catalog number. Filled to capacity with water, the tank and its contents weigh roughly 10,008 pounds. Spread across the flat 86 x 86 inch base, that works out to a bearing load of about 195 pounds per square foot, so size and pour the foundation deliberately rather than setting it on bare grade. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right. Once anchored, the broad footprint gives the tank a stable, wind-resistant stance.
Common uses and the mistake to avoid
Buyers put vertical poly tanks like this into fire-water reservoir duty, water reuse trains, bulk non-potable storage, and general liquid holding. If this tank is headed for stored fire-protection water, size the reservoir against the demand math in our NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir design guide. For reuse and aggregation projects, the industrial water reuse topology guide covers how to band storage by quality. The mistake to avoid: this tank is specced and dimensioned for water. No specific-gravity rating is published for this SKU, so water at a specific gravity of 1.0 is the only rated service. If you are considering storing anything heavier or chemically active, do not assume it carries that rating - confirm the resin and the specific-gravity rating for your fluid with us first. It is also worth understanding where poly tanks tend to age: the vapor-saturated headspace above the liquid line, explained in our write-up on HDPE wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic.
