The Enduraplas 6011 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank is a large-volume, above-ground polyethylene tank built for bulk water, fire reserve, irrigation, and industrial process water storage. It holds a nominal 6,000 gallons on a 142 x 142 in. footprint (an 11.8 ft square pad) and stands 110 inches tall, so it carries serious volume without sprawling across your site. If you are searching for a 6000 gallon plastic water tank or a large vertical bulk water storage tank, this is the size class you are looking at.
Will it work for your site
The tank stands 110 inches high on a 142 x 142 in. footprint. Fittings on this unit include a 3-inch bolted fitting, a 2-inch threaded fitting, and a 16-inch lid — see the technical drawing on this page to confirm fitting placement against your plumbing before you set the tank. Two details matter on install day: the 3-inch fitting is a bolted flange, so confirm you have the matching gasket and bolt kit for it, while the 2-inch port is threaded and seals on tape or dope rather than a gasket. The largest liquid port is that 3-inch bolted fitting, so size your discharge, suction, and any pump connection to it; the 16-inch lid is fill and inspection access only, not a plumbed outlet.
Weight, pad, and load
Filled with water this tank carries roughly 50,040 pounds. Spread over the 142 x 142 in. (about 140 sq ft) footprint, that is an average bearing load near 360 psf — the number your engineer checks the soil and pad against. A tank this size is not a set-it-on-gravel install: size the foundation and get it dead level before delivery, because uneven bearing concentrates stress on the tank wall and the fittings. Our concrete pad sizing guide (ACI 360R-10 framework) walks the load math, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide confirm this volume matches your demand. After install, run a proper acceptance fill with our hydrostatic test methodology to catch pad settlement and fitting leaks before the tank goes into service.
Service rating and the mistake to avoid
This unit is rated and listed for water service; a specific-gravity rating for heavier-than-water liquids is not published for this tank, so call 866-418-1777 before storing anything with an SG above 1.0. The number-one field error on a tank this size is under-building the pad or setting it on unlevel ground — get the foundation and levelness right first. If this tank is going into a fire-protection role, our NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection; for reclaimed or captured supply, see our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
This tank ships LTL freight and, given its size, moves as an oversize load. Get a live rate to your ZIP with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to line up delivery and confirm fittings for your application.
