This 1200-gallon vertical water storage tank from Enduraplas is built for bulk above-ground water storage where you need real volume on a stable, wide base. It holds 1,200 gallons in a polyethylene body measuring 86 inches across and standing 52 inches tall — a low-profile vertical footprint rather than a tall, narrow column. Every dimension here is verified, so you can confirm the tank's profile against its stated dimensions and the technical drawing on this page before you pour a pad or frame an enclosure.
Will it work for your site?
The tank sits on an 86.0 x 86.0 inch footprint, so plan your pad or platform for a square that size plus working clearance around the plumbing and lid. Water is heavy: filled to 1,200 gallons, this tank plus its contents comes to roughly 10,008 pounds. That load has to rest on a flat, continuously supporting, engineered surface — a properly sized concrete pad is the correct base for a tank in this weight class. If you are sizing the pad yourself, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary begins. Not sure 1,200 gallons matches your draw-and-refill cycle? Run it through the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first. Confirm the outlet and fitting configuration against the technical drawing on this page so your plumbing lines up before delivery day.
How it ships
A tank this size ships LTL freight on its own. Freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP — it is not included in the list price — so get your exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator or by calling 866-418-1777. A large-footprint poly tank rides best on a flat deck with room to offload; confirm you have equipment or enough hands to receive it, since a tank of this size is offloaded whole.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a wide low-profile tank like this one is treating a filled tank as if it can bridge an uneven or undersized base. It cannot — polyethylene walls flex, and 10,008 pounds concentrated on a soft or partial support will stress the shell and the outlet connection. Set it on a continuous, level, load-rated pad, then commission it correctly: the hydrostatic test methodology guide covers the water-fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, fitting leak detection, and hold-time math to catch a problem before the tank is in service. One more thing to verify up front: this unit is configured for water storage. If your application is a chemical or brine service with a specific gravity above 1.0, confirm the correct SG rating before you order rather than assuming a water tank covers it.
