The Bushman 200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 900200-1.9-NAT) is a plastic tank built for straightforward liquid storage where a wide, stable footprint matters more than height. It holds 200 gallons in a body measuring 47 inches wide by 47 inches deep with a 33-inch profile — a low, broad stance that sits securely on a level pad without demanding much overhead clearance. That short-and-wide geometry makes it a practical fit for tight vertical spaces where a taller 200 gallon vertical tank simply will not fit.
Will it work for your setup?
Start with the load number on this page. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 1,668 pounds, so the pad or platform underneath it has to be rated for that weight fully supported and level across the entire 47 x 47 inch base. Plastic tanks are engineered to be bottom-supported over their whole footprint — not bridged across joists, not ringed by a stand that only touches the edges. If you are still deciding whether 200 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and cross-check the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For a fuller walkthrough of this size class, see our 200 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water and general-liquid storage tank. With no higher specific-gravity rating published for this SKU, treat it as rated for water and water-weight liquids only — specific gravity roughly 1.0. Do not store any liquid denser than water without written confirmation, because overloading a plastic tank beyond its density rating is the most common and most expensive error with vertical storage tanks, and it is entirely avoidable with one phone call. A standard inlet, outlet, and fitting configuration is not published for this SKU either — call 866-418-1777 to confirm fitting size and gasket type before you cut any plumbing, and refer to the technical drawing on this page rather than assuming a layout.
Freight
This tank ships by LTL freight. Because crated weight and dimensions drive the cost, freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than folded into the list price. Get an exact number through the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk you through delivery, liftgate needs, and lead time. Questions on sizing, load ratings, the 1,668-pound filled weight, or which fittings come standard — same number, and we will confirm every detail before you order.
