The Enduraplas 10000 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV10000B) is a full-scale bulk polyethylene vertical storage tank built for large-volume water and non-potable liquid storage. It stands 178 inches tall on a 144 x 144 inch footprint, molded from black polyethylene rated to a 1.9 specific gravity and holding 10,000 gallons. Whether you searched for an Enduraplas vertical tank, a black 10000 vertical storage tank, or just a large vertical storage tank, this is the top of the standard vertical range.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries a full water weight of 83,400 pounds. The 144 x 144 inch footprint (12 feet square) and the 178-inch height decide your pad and your headroom, so confirm both against your slab and any building or canopy clearance before you order. A bulk vertical tank puts enormous concentrated load on its base, so the pad is not an afterthought. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for a load this size, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 10,000 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle. Fitting and outlet configuration is not published for this model, so confirm the exact size, location, and gasket material you need with us by phone before you order.
Rating headroom, vent capacity, and the mistake to avoid
The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the tank is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water, which works out to a maximum rated contents weight of 158,460 pounds. Read that strictly as a structural safety margin, not a fill target: plain water at 8.34 pounds per gallon puts you at 83,400 pounds full, well inside the rating. The mistake to avoid on a tank this large is treating the open bung as enough venting. A bulk vertical that fills or draws at a high rate needs vent capacity sized to that flow, or it can pull vacuum on drawdown and pressurize on fill. Our worked examples in atmospheric vent capacity calculations run the API 2000 sizing right up to the 10,000-gallon vertical ceiling this tank sits at. Note also that dry shipping weight is not published here, so confirm empty weight and offload rigging with us before delivery day; the 83,400-pound figure is filled water, not a handling number.
Where it ships from and how freight works
A 10,000-gallon vertical tank is oversized freight, so it moves by LTL quoted live to your ZIP rather than at a flat rate. This model ships from the Enduraplas plants in Converse, TX and Neche, ND, and we route from the plant nearest you: a Northern-tier buyer typically pulls from Neche, ND and a Southern buyer from Converse, TX, which shortens the lane and lowers your live quote. If you are planning a fire-water reservoir or a water-reuse train around a tank this size, our guides on fire-water reservoir tank design and industrial water reuse tank topology cover the engineering around it.
