3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The Bushman 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a full-size bulk water tank built for bulk water storage, rainwater capture, agricultural supply, and rural fire-water reserve. It holds 3,000 gallons on a compact 95 x 95 inch footprint and stands 109 inches tall, so it stores a large volume without spreading across your pad. Dimensions on this listing are verified — confirm inlet, outlet, and manway placement against your site plumbing before you set the pad.

Verified dimensions: Height 109" × 95" × 95" (footprint 95 x 95 in), 3,000 gallon capacity. Filled with water, operating weight is about 25,020 lb.

Will it work for your site

Filled with water this tank weighs about 25,020 pounds, so the pad is the first design decision, not an afterthought. Set it on a level, continuously supported base — a reinforced concrete pad or a compacted, ring-contained aggregate bed sized to the full 95 x 95 inch footprint. A vertical poly tank needs uniform bearing under the entire floor; unsupported edges or a crowned pad concentrate load and stress the base. If you are still deciding between one large tank and a bank of smaller vertical water storage tanks, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit the space.

The mistake to avoid

This is a water and light-liquid storage tank. This listing carries no published specific-gravity rating, so treat it as water and light-liquid service only — specific gravity 1.0. Before you store anything heavier than water — fertilizer solutions, brine, or any chemical — a fluid denser than water raises the hydrostatic load on the wall the tank was rated for, so confirm the resin and rating against that fluid first. Do not assume a bulk vertical water tank is cleared for chemical duty. When in doubt, call us at 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the fit before you buy.

Fire-water and rural reserve use

At 3,000 gallons this size is a common building block for private fire-protection reserves and remote-site water storage. If that is your application, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For a closer look at other 3000-gallon vertical configurations, compare the buyer's guides for the 102" x 93" #45246 and 102" x 93" #43136 models, both taller-and-narrower footprints than this one.

This tank ships LTL freight on its own pallet, quoted live to your ZIP. The 25,020 lb figure above is the filled operating load, not the shipping weight — empty poly ships far lighter, and the Freight Estimator returns the real freight number for your ZIP in seconds. Get that quote with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the freight, confirm lead time, and match the tank to your application before you order.
