The Enduraplas 6011 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a large-volume vertical polyethylene tank built for bulk water storage where you need serious capacity in a stable, self-supporting vessel. At a rated 6,011 gallons, it stands 110 inches tall on a 144-inch (12-foot) diameter round footprint. That 6,011-gallon figure is the rated working capacity within the shell, not a raw cylinder calculation, so plan around the rated volume rather than back-computing from the height and diameter. Every dimension here is launch-verified, so you can size your site around real numbers instead of estimates.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water, this tank carries a load of roughly 50,132 pounds. That single number drives almost every siting decision you'll make, so treat it as the anchor of your plan. A 144-inch diameter round base needs a flat, fully supporting foundation rated for that weight across its circular bearing area - a properly sized concrete pad is the standard approach, and our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks. If you're still confirming this is the right capacity for your draw-and-refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. This is a bulk vertical water storage tank sized for agricultural supply, fire-water reserve, rainwater capture, and process-water holding and other high-volume non-potable applications. Fitting configuration - inlet, outlet size, manway, and vent - along with tank color is confirmed at quote, so call 866-418-1777 and we'll lock the spec to your plumbing before it ships. This tank is rated for water and non-potable water-weight service; for any liquid heavier than water (specific gravity above 1.0), confirm the tank's SG rating with us before ordering.
The mistake to avoid
The failure mode on tall poly tanks like this one usually isn't the liquid-side wall - it's the vapor-saturated headspace above the waterline, where premature wall issues tend to originate and where routine liquid-side inspection misses them. Understanding the ASTM D1998 wall-thickness logic will help you inspect the right zone and get the full service life out of the tank. Check the technical drawing on this page for the shell profile before you finalize your layout. If this vessel is going into a rural or remote fire-protection role, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For reuse and aggregation setups, the water reuse topology guide maps out grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate storage trains.
Given its size and weight, this tank ships LTL freight on its own pallet. Get a live rate to your ZIP with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll help you spec the tank and stage the delivery. Freight is quoted separately from the tank list price.
