The Enduraplas 1600 Gallon Horizontal Skid-Mounted Storage Tank is built for bulk water that has to move or sit on uneven ground without a poured pad. It holds 1,600 gallons in a horizontal poly body measuring 130 inches long, 71 inches wide, and 60 inches tall, set in a frame with a sump bottom so the tank drains toward a single low point. The skid frame and sump make this a working transfer and staging tank — fill it, haul it, draw it down clean.
Will it work for my site?
The footprint is 71 by 130 inches, so plan your slab, trailer deck, or containment area around that rectangle before it arrives. Filled to capacity, the water column alone runs about 13,344 pounds (1,600 gallons at 8.34 lb/gal) — that figure does not include the poly shell or the steel skid, so add the tank and frame dead weight on top of it and confirm the empty weight with us before you size a pad. Whatever this sits on has to carry well over six and a half tons of water plus the structure. If you are still choosing between capacities or working out how that load spreads across a slab, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide, and see our concrete pad sizing guide for the ACI framework behind supporting a loaded poly tank above ground. The sump-bottom horizontal skid design is a common pick for non-potable water hauling, rural fire reserve, jobsite supply, and water reuse trains — our fire-water reservoir design guide and water reuse topology guide show how a horizontal skid tank fits each stack.
The mistake to avoid
Do not treat this as a chemical tank. This listing is specified for water service, and no specific-gravity rating is published for it here — so before you put anything heavier than water in it, confirm the resin and the SG rating with us. Color and UV rating are not confirmed on this listing either; if the tank will live outdoors, verify the exterior color and UV package with us before you rely on it for algae and sun resistance. The sump-outlet and bulkhead fitting size and gasket material are not published here, and that outlet is the real failure point on a horizontal skid tank in motion — confirm the fitting size and gasket spec (EPDM vs Viton) with us before you plumb it. A skid tank loads its frame hardest when full and moving, so secure it to the skid and inspect the sump outlet and framing before every haul, not after a leak.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code — the price shown is the tank, not delivered. Verify the 60 x 71 x 130 in dimensions and the loaded weight with us, pull a real freight number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will sort out sizing, siting, and freight together before you order.
