The Chem-Tainer 65 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU TC2342IC-NAT) is a compact vertical polyethylene tank built for water and general-purpose liquid storage where floor space is tight. It holds 65 gallons in a 42-inch-tall body on a 23 x 23-inch square footprint, so its 23-inch width clears a standard 30-inch doorway and it tucks into a corner, a utility closet, or the bed of a work truck. If you have been searching for a 65 gallon vertical tank that stores water, rainwater, or process water reliably year after year, this is a straightforward vertical storage tank sized for the job.
Will it work for your job?
Filled with water, this tank carries about 542 pounds of contents on a full 23.0 x 23.0-inch footprint, an easy load for a level concrete pad. The tank is molded from polyethylene and rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, meaning it is engineered to hold liquids up to 50 percent heavier than water, at a maximum rated contents weight of roughly 813 pounds. Design your pad, shelf, or platform for that full 813-pound figure rather than the 542-pound water weight, so a later switch to a heavier liquid never overloads the base. For water service you keep generous headroom on the rating. Check your load with our Tank Sizing Calculator, and if you are choosing between capacities the Tank Sizing Guide walks through matching tank volume to your draw-down and refill cycles.
Siting and support
A vertical tank of this height holds a tall, narrow column of water, so a flat, fully supporting base matters more than it does with a squat tank. Set it on a smooth, level surface with no point loads or gaps under the floor. For a permanent outdoor install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI framework for getting the foundation right, and if this tank feeds a grey-water or rainwater reuse setup, that guide covers quality-banded storage staging. In cold climates, plan freeze protection for both the tank and any exposed plumbing.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships from one of two Chem-Tainer plants, Hanford, CA or Marked Tree, AR, so most orders truck from the nearer coast rather than across the country. It moves by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code, so get an exact number for your delivery address with our Freight Cost Estimator before you order, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you and confirm the tank matches your application. The listed price is the tank only, before freight.
