The Enduraplas 1600 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank (SKU THF01600BK) is a cylinder-on-its-side transport and utility tank built for moving liquid on a trailer, a skid, or a service truck. It measures 130 inches long, 71 inches wide, and 59 inches tall, with molded legs that let the cylinder sit flat and stable on a bed without a full cradle. The horizontal leg design keeps the center of gravity low, which is what you want when a partial load is sloshing down a field road. All three dimensions are verified against the launch specification, so build your trailer or platform around the 71 x 130 inch footprint and the 59 inch overall height, that last number being the one that decides whether the loaded tank clears a doorway, a bridge, or an overhang.
Will it work for your setup
Filled to its rated 1600 gallons of water at 8.34 pounds per gallon, this tank carries 13,344 pounds of liquid weight. That figure is the starting point for every mounting and axle decision: your trailer frame, deck, and tires have to carry the full water weight plus the empty tank, and your straps or bands have to hold that mass against braking and cornering loads. We do not publish a tare weight for this shell, so request the empty weight from us before you finalize axle ratings rather than guessing at it. If you are hauling a fluid heavier than water, such as a fertilizer blend, multiply 8.34 by your fluid's specific gravity to re-derive the load, and confirm the tank's specific-gravity rating before you fill. Run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator, and if you are still deciding on capacity, the Tank Sizing Guide walks through matching gallons to the job. See the technical drawing on this page for leg spacing and fitting locations before you fabricate a saddle or cut mounting holes.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a leg-style haul tank is treating it like a stationary storage tank. This is a horizontal transport tank, and moving a dense agricultural liquid changes both the weight math and the regulatory picture. Before you put a fertilizer or ag chemical in it on the road, read up on scope and classification: the guides on DOT Non-Roadable Trailer scope for applicator and leg tanks, the 49 CFR 173.5 agricultural exemption, and fertilizer-blend stratification and mixing spell out the density and DOT questions that catch people mid-season. Confirm the specific-gravity rating for your fluid rather than assuming water is the worst case.
This horizontal leg tank, sometimes searched as a 1600 gallon leg tank or plastic transport tank, ships by LTL freight and is quoted live to your ZIP. Pull a number through the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will size the freight and confirm fitment for your trailer or skid.
