The Chem-Tainer 700 gallon vertical liquid storage tank (SKU TC6460IA) is a natural-white polyethylene tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real volume in a compact footprint. It stands 60 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch base, so it holds 700 gallons without sprawling across the pad. This is a vertical storage tank in the truest sense: closed-top, free-standing, and sized for tank yards, well systems, fire-water reserve, irrigation buffers, and process water holding.
Will it work for your application?
Start with the envelope: 60 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch base. Check your overhead clearance for fill access and confirm the tank will clear any door, gate, or roofline on the way to its pad before the truck arrives. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 5,838 pounds of contents on that 64.0 x 64.0 inch footprint. That is real load, so the pad underneath matters as much as the tank above it. Before you set it, read our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks so the base is rated for the standing weight.
This is the heavy-duty 1.9 specific-gravity shell, which is why the maximum rated contents weight reaches 11,092 pounds: it gives you headroom for liquids denser than water. For straight water duty at 8.34 pounds per gallon, you are well inside that envelope. If your liquid is at or below water density and you only need storage, a standard lower-SG tank may cost less, so size the rating to the job. Still deciding between 700 gallons and a larger size? Run your demand through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For fire-water reserve specifically, our rural fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline, and for cold-climate or outdoor service it covers the freeze protection an above-ground poly tank needs.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code. The nearest stocking plant for this size is Marked Tree, Arkansas, which sets the freight basis for most of the country. Pull a real number with our Freight Cost Estimator before you order, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it by phone. A tank this size and weight rides on a pallet and needs a forklift or a liftgate-equipped truck at delivery, so plan your receiving end before the truck arrives.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a tank like this is treating the 1.9 specific-gravity rating as a guarantee for any liquid. The rating defines how dense a liquid the shell can structurally hold; it does not, by itself, certify chemical resistance. For water and the liquids you have already confirmed against the polyethylene, you are set. If you ever plan to store something denser or chemically active, confirm both the specific gravity and the resin compatibility first. The second mistake is undersizing the pad: filled, this tank concentrates thousands of pounds on a 64-inch square, so a level, load-rated pad is not optional. See the technical drawing on this page for overall dimensions, and confirm fitting locations on the drawing or by phone at 866-418-1777 before you commit your plumbing layout.
