The Norwesco 8400 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in natural white is built for high-volume bulk storage. It stands 188 inches tall on a 119-inch diameter footprint, holding a full 8,400 gallons in a natural white polyethylene vertical storage tank. If you are sizing a Norwesco vertical tank for a farm, nursery, fire-suppression reserve, or municipal water program, this is a large-format unit built for water service.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical storage tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.5, meaning the wall is engineered to hold liquids up to one-and-a-half times the weight of water. Filled to capacity with water, the tank carries roughly 70,056 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating it is built to handle up to 105,084 pounds. That 1.5 SG rating is a real benefit: this same tank handles heavier-than-water liquids that many water-only tanks cannot, so it gives you about 35,000 pounds of contents headroom if the service ever shifts from water to a denser solution down the road. Those numbers matter for your pad: a foundation has to support the contents plus the tank itself across a 119-inch-diameter circle, so plan a level, engineered concrete base sized to the full footprint. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and our Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 8,400-gallon vertical is the right capacity and height before you commit to the pad.
Specs and what to check on the drawing
Dimensions are 188 inches tall by 119 inches in diameter, with a 119-inch-diameter base footprint. In practical terms, that means you need about 10 feet of level floor diameter and roughly 15 feet 8 inches of vertical clearance, plus extra rigging height to stand the tank upright on its pad. Before you order fittings or plan plumbing, see the technical drawing on this page for exact outlet and manhole locations, gallon markings, and wall detail; the safest move is to confirm outlet size, location, and gasket type against that drawing before you buy any mating fittings or plumbing. At this size, also confirm your site access and overhead clearance for an 188-inch-tall tank before delivery day, including any gates, barn doors, or building eaves on the route to the pad. If you are weighing footprints, there is a near-identical 8,400-gallon option at 120 inches by 187 inches; see its buyer's guide to pick the variant that fits your pad and clearance.
Freight: how this tank ships
This Norwesco vertical ships LTL freight from the Hanford, California plant, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code. Because it leaves from Hanford, CA, buyers in the East and Midwest should pull a live freight number early, since cross-country LTL on an oversized tank is a major part of total freight cost. Because of its height and footprint, an 8,400-gallon tank moves as oversized freight, so get an accurate number before you buy with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. The most common mistake on a tank this large is treating it like a small drum on delivery, so confirm forklift or crane access and a prepared, level pad at the drop point ahead of time.
