The Bushman 3000 Gallon Polypropylene Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is an upright bulk storage tank built for high-volume liquid holding where floor space is tight but vertical height is available. It carries a full 3,000-gallon working capacity in a cylindrical vertical body measuring 95" in diameter and 116" tall, putting serious volume on a compact 95" x 95" footprint. Dimensions on this listing are verified, so you can plan your pad and clearance from real numbers rather than estimates.
Will it work for my site?
This is a vertical storage tank, so it holds liquid at atmospheric pressure and stands upright on its own with no external stand required. It is sold for water service. This listing does not publish a specific-gravity rating, so treat it as water-only (1.0 SG) until confirmed: if you plan to store anything heavier than water, call 866-418-1777 before you buy so we can confirm the tank is rated for your fluid's weight. There is no higher-density variant substituted in on this page, so the honest step is that phone confirmation, not a guess. For pure capacity questions, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume to your draw-down and refill schedule.
Plan for the full weight
A tank this size is a structural decision, not just a plumbing one. Filled to 3,000 gallons, the tank and its contents weigh roughly 25,020 lb. That load sits on a 95" round footprint of about 49 square feet, so a full tank imposes on the order of 500 lb per square foot on whatever it stands on. That surface has to be a level, engineered pad — a reinforced concrete slab is the standard call at this volume. Verify your surface can carry it before delivery day, and review the technical drawing on this page for the outline and profile you will be setting in place.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a vertical tank this large is under-building the base and under-planning the fittings and height. This listing does not publish fitting sizes or locations, so do not assume a fill, vent, or outlet layout — confirm the exact fittings by phone at 866-418-1777 before you spec your plumbing. At 116" tall, fill and access points sit high off the ground, so factor in ladder or platform access early. And because a water-rated polypropylene tank is matched to a specific liquid weight and chemistry, never assume it clears a chemical or high-density fluid without confirming with us first.
This tank ships as an LTL freight item from the nearest stocking plant, quoted separately to your ZIP code — never included in the list price. Run your address through the Freight Cost Estimator for a freight rate, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the freight and confirm the tank's suitability for your application.
