The Chem-Tainer 130 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU TC2376IC) is a tall, small-footprint polyethylene vertical tank rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, which means it carries liquids meaningfully heavier than water - brines, concentrates, and many process liquids that a standard 1.0 or 1.1 water tank is not built to hold. It stands 84 inches tall on a compact 23 x 23 inch footprint and holds 130 gallons, fitting into corners, equipment rooms, and narrow utility spaces a wider vertical tank would never reach.
Will this tank work for my application?
The 1.5 SG body rating is the headline capability here: it gives you room above plain water for heavier liquids without compromising the wall. Filled with water, the contents weigh about 1,084 pounds; at the full 1.5 SG rating the contents reach roughly 1,626 pounds, so size your pad and any tie-downs around that 1,626-pound maximum, not the water number. That load lands on a 23 x 23 inch base - about 530 square inches - which works out to a real point load of roughly 3 pounds per square inch at full rating, so a level, continuously supported pad is not optional. To match this 130-gallon vertical tank to your volume and refill cadence, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide. As a tall, small-footprint storage tank, it also suits rural water reserves and freeze-protected setups - our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA-22 sizing and cold-climate considerations.
How does freight work?
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from Hanford, CA, the nearest named plant for this SKU, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code. Freight on a 7-foot vertical tank depends heavily on your delivery location and accessorial needs, so get an exact number through the Freight Cost Estimator before you order, or call 866-418-1777 to talk through delivery.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a tank this tall and narrow is treating the 84-inch height casually. A 7-foot column of liquid is top-heavy on a 23-inch base, so it must sit on a fully supporting, level surface and, in many installs, be strapped or braced against tipping. Confirm your overhead clearance accommodates the 84-inch height plus fittings and fill access before committing the space. Fitting, outlet, and gasket configuration is not spec'd on this page - verify it against the technical drawing on this page or by phone before ordering. Because this is a 1.5-SG service tank, gasket and bulkhead material compatibility with your stored liquid is the real risk: confirm those materials against your specific liquid first. If you are comparing options at this capacity, our 130 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide walks through the trade-offs.
