The Enduraplas 1400 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in white is a freestanding polyethylene vertical tank for above-ground bulk water and liquid storage. It holds 1,400 gallons, stands 79 inches tall, and sits on an 80 x 80 inch footprint, so it fits under low eaves and clearances where a taller, narrower vertical tank will not. The white shell is built to a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the wall is engineered for liquids well heavier than water - useful headroom if you ever change service to a denser product.
Will this tank work for my application?
Run the weight numbers before you pour your pad. Filled with water this tank carries 11,676 pounds of contents; at its maximum 1.9 specific gravity rating it is built to hold up to 22,184 pounds, meaning it is rated for liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. That is a real spec advantage over a 1.5-SG water-only vertical tank - the same shell covers future denser-product service without re-buying. That contents load sits on the 80 x 80 inch base, so the foundation has to be flat, level, and continuous - a full-contact concrete pad or compacted base, not blocks or an uneven slab. To match the tank to your actual draw and refill cycle, work through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so you land on the right vertical storage tank capacity the first time. If you are weighing this 1400 against larger and smaller verticals, the buyer's guides for the 2000 gallon vertical, 500 gallon vertical, and 300 gallon vertical walk the trade-offs in detail.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a fixed-diameter tank this size is not checking access before it arrives. This is an 80 inch diameter LTL piece that cannot be disassembled, so confirm that the 80 inch width clears your gate, doorway, and the path to the pad before you book freight. Set and plumb your hardware only to the tank's molded fitting locations - check those positions and the cover detail against your plumbing layout on the technical drawing on this page before you commit your piping, and confirm the white color and 1.9 SG rating match what you ordered. If your end use will be fire-water or rural fire-protection storage, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection for polyethylene tanks.
Freight and ordering
This is a large vertical tank, so it ships by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from the Enduraplas plant in Neche, ND - the closer your delivery point is to that origin, the lower the freight. Because of its size and base, plan on equipment to offload at delivery - a forklift or loader rather than a liftgate, which will not handle a tank this large. Get a real number for your address with the Freight Cost Estimator before you order, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and walk you through delivery, offload, and setup. Listed price is for the tank only; LTL freight is quoted separately to your ZIP.
