The Enduraplas 800 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in black is a straight-wall polyethylene tank built for bulk water storage where a tall, compact footprint matters. It stands 116 inches high on a verified 47 x 47 inch footprint, so it holds 800 gallons of usable capacity while occupying under four feet of floor width. Filled with water it carries 6,672 pounds, and that number drives your pad, your anchoring, and your freight class. If you are still deciding between capacities or working out how many tanks a given draw-down requires, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical bulk water storage tank sized at 800 gallons, verified at 116 inches tall on a 47 x 47 inch base. The black exterior blocks light through the wall, which discourages algae growth in stored water compared with translucent tanks. It is specified for water service at 1.0 specific gravity, so if you are planning to store anything denser than water, confirm an SG-rated tank before you order rather than assuming this one covers it. Fitting and bulkhead configuration is not listed here, so confirm your outlet size and gasket material with us at 866-418-1777 before ordering rather than guessing. Because it fills to 6,672 pounds, the load path underneath it is not optional: a full tank of this height needs a flat, continuously supported base rated for the full water weight. For above-ground siting on a poured pad, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the slab matches the point load.
Freight: how it ships
Tanks this size ship LTL freight on a pallet, quoted live to your ZIP code. Note that the 6,672-pound figure is almost all water: the poly shell itself is a small fraction of that, so the unit arrives light and only becomes a full ring load once you fill it. Enter your delivery ZIP in our Freight Cost Estimator for a rate, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work it out with you. Confirm you have a way to offload at the destination, an 800 gallon vertical tank is a full-size unit and most LTL deliveries are curbside without a liftgate unless you request one.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tall vertical water tank is treating the headspace like an afterthought. Wall stress on a vertical polyethylene tank is highest low on the sidewall where the standing column of water is deepest, and the section at the vapor-saturated top behaves differently than the liquid-wetted wall below it. Our breakdown of HDPE wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace explains why premature failures often start where liquid-side inspection never looks. Size and support the tank for its full 6,672-pound water weight, and do not partially support the base. If this tank is going into fire-reserve or reuse duty, see our notes on fire-water reservoir design and industrial water reuse tank topology.
