The Bushman 700 Gallon Rectangle Water Storage Tank in Black is a low-profile water storage tank built for hauling and storing water where overhead clearance is tight. At 34 inches tall with a 63.5 x 90-inch footprint, it sits low on a trailer, truck bed, or skid and keeps its center of gravity down when full and in motion. It holds 700 gallons, is molded from high density polyethylene, and is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, so it carries 50% more contents weight than plain water before reaching its wall rating.
Will it work for your job
This is a black, low-profile transport tank in the classic storage tank shape: 90 inches long, 63.5 inches wide, and only 34 inches high. Full of water it carries 5,838 pounds of contents; at its maximum 1.5 specific gravity rating it carries 8,757 pounds, which is 2,919 pounds of headroom above plain water for moderately denser liquids. That margin is real, but it only counts if your support and freight are sized to the loaded number you actually run, not just to the weight of water. The black color cuts light transmission into the water, which helps slow algae growth in outdoor service. If you are still deciding on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match gallons to your draw and refill cycle.
What this tank is good for
Low-profile water storage tanks like this one earn their keep in mobile and clearance-limited service: water hauling, fill stations, jobsite supply, and remote-site reservoirs where a tall vertical tank will not fit or will not ride safely. For rural fire protection and reservoir planning, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are building a reuse or harvesting system, see our notes on industrial water reuse tank topology and Bushman rainwater harvesting. Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in our data for this SKU; see the technical drawing on this page for the layout, and call 866-418-1777 to confirm outlet, fill, and vent sizes before you plumb it.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a low-profile transport tank is under-supporting it. The 1.5 specific gravity rating describes the wall's strength margin, not a license to set the tank on a partial or uneven base. The load must transfer evenly across the entire 63.5 x 90-inch footprint, and a moving load on a vehicle adds dynamic stress on top of the static weight. Spec your deck or pad to the weight you will actually carry: 5,838 pounds for water, or up to 8,757 pounds for dense service at the full 1.5 specific gravity rating. For poured pads, our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework. Support the whole footprint, secure it for transport, and confirm your base is rated for the loaded weight before you fill.
