8000 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank with Stand

The Enduraplas 8000 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank with Stand (SKU THC08000K) is a large-volume, full-drain vessel built for batching, mixing, and dispensing where the contents need to empty completely under gravity. The 15-degree cone bottom keeps solids and heavier fractions moving toward the outlet instead of settling, and the integrated stand raises the discharge point so you can plumb a valve, pump, or fill station underneath. At 8,000 gallons in a single tank, this is a bulk-storage decision - here is exactly what it holds, what it needs to stand on, and how it ships.

Will it work for your site

This tank stands 158 inches tall on its stand and occupies a 144.0 x 144.0 inch footprint - a 12-foot by 12-foot pad. Confirm your ceiling or canopy clearance against that 158-inch height before you order, since the cone-and-stand design puts the fill point well above grade. Filled with water, the tank and contents weigh 66,720 pounds, so the supporting pad must be engineered concrete rated for that point load across the stand's feet; a cone-bottom tank on a stand concentrates weight through its legs, differently than a flat-bottom vertical spreads it. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to check your volume math and confirm 8,000 gallons is the right pour before you commit to a foundation this size. Tank color and translucency are not published in this record - if you want a sight line for level or a specific UV shade, confirm the available color at order.

The mistake to avoid on a chemical-service cone

The specific-gravity rating and resin grade are not published in this record, and that is the single most important thing to nail down before you store anything heavier than water. A cone-bottom tank on a stand is rated to a maximum contents specific gravity; exceeding it stresses the cone and the stand connection where the load is already concentrated. Water is 1.0 SG - many process chemicals run 1.2, 1.4, or higher. Because no SG rating is published here, anyone storing above 1.0 SG should call us at 866-418-1777 to confirm the resin (HDPE versus cross-linked XLPE) and whether a higher-SG build is available for that product before ordering. Cross-check your chemical against the Chemical Compatibility Database first.

Fittings and gaskets

Match your outlet fitting AND the gasket elastomer to the same chemical you verified in the compatibility database - the fitting hardware and seals see the product just as the tank wall does, and they are frequently the first thing to fail if the material is wrong. The outlet fitting and valve size are not published in this record, so confirm the outlet configuration by phone at 866-418-1777 when you spec the tank.

Freight on an 8,000-gallon tank

A tank this size ships LTL as an oversized freight load, quoted live to your ZIP because the rate depends on your location and delivery access, not a flat number. Enter your delivery address in the Freight Cost Estimator for a current rate, or call 866-418-1777 and we will build the quote with you, including any liftgate, limited-access, or job-site delivery needs. Have your unloading plan ready: at 12 feet across you will need equipment on site to receive it.
