The 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco stands 157 inches tall on a 64-inch diameter footprint, holding a full 2,000 gallons in natural white polyethylene. It carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, the spec that decides whether this vertical storage tank is right for what you plan to put in it. Full of water, the tank and contents weigh 16,680 pounds; at its maximum rated 1.5 specific gravity, contents can reach 25,020 pounds. Those numbers drive your pad and freight planning more than anything else on this page.
Will it work for your application
This is a vertical storage tank built for ambient liquid storage. The 64-inch diameter sets the pad you pour or level, and at 157 inches tall it is the tall, narrow 2000-gallon footprint, built to save floor space where you have the overhead room for it. Confirm overhead clearance before delivery, especially under eaves or inside a building. The 1.5 specific gravity rating means the wall is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water; since water is specific gravity 1.0, you have substantial headroom for plain water storage. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator to confirm 2,000 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle, and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are weighing this against other capacities.
Choosing the right footprint
If headroom is tight, the same 2,000 gallons comes in shorter, wider builds. This 64" x 153" model is the tall-and-narrow option; there are also 90"-diameter and 93"-diameter 2000-gallon variants that trade floor area for lower overall height. Use the sizing calculator to weigh floor space against ceiling clearance, then compare the matching guides: this tank's 64" x 153" complete buyer's guide, and for the other 2000-gallon footprints the 90" x 84" and 93" x 80" versions.
The mistake to avoid
The full weight is the number people underestimate. At 16,680 pounds full of water, this tank needs a properly engineered, level base rated for that load, not bare or uneven ground. A vertical tank set on a soft or sloped pad can lean, stress the outlet, and fail prematurely. Pour a level concrete pad or use a manufacturer-approved tank stand sized to the 64-inch diameter, and verify the surface carries the full contents weight before you fill it. If you plan to store anything heavier than water, stay within the 1.5 specific gravity rating and confirm your liquid's specific gravity before ordering. Fitting and gasket sizes for this tank are confirmed at quote, so if you are plumbing it for anything but water, call and confirm outlet and gasket material so the parts match your liquid, not just the wall rating.
Freight and how to order
This Norwesco vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Burnet, Texas plant, the nearest production point for this model. Because freight on a 2,000 gallon tank depends on your delivery ZIP and site access, it is quoted live to your ZIP rather than listed. Get an exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and confirm fittings, footprint, and sizing for your site.
