The Enduraplas 1550 Gallon White Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and general liquid holding on farms, rural fire-water reservoirs, and remote job sites where a dependable 1,550-gallon supply matters. Molded in natural white and standing 80 inches tall over an 85-inch diameter footprint, it gives you real capacity in a stable vertical profile without stepping up to a horizontal or a leg tank. It ships from our Enduraplas plants in Converse, TX and Neche, ND, so buyers in the South and the northern plains alike can pull from a nearby origin. This is the tank people search for as a white vertical storage tank when they need volume that a smaller vertical tank cannot carry.
Will it work for your site?
Fill a vertical tank with water and the weight adds up fast. At full capacity this tank holds roughly 12,927 pounds of water, which lines up with the 8.34 lb-per-gallon math on 1,550 gallons, so you can verify the number yourself rather than take it on faith. That is why the pad matters more than most buyers expect. The shell carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning it is built for liquids up to 1.9 SG, and at that ceiling the rated contents weight reaches about 24,561 pounds. For plain water at 1.0 SG you have large safety margin, but your foundation still has to be engineered for the actual liquid you plan to store. The footprint is 85.0 x 85.0 inches. Size the pad and the supply against your real draw with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For rural fire-protection duty, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold climates.
Foundation and the mistake to avoid
The most common and most expensive mistake with a tank this size is setting it on soil or an undersized slab. A full 1,550-gallon vertical concentrates thousands of pounds over an 85-inch circle, and any settling or edge deflection stresses the tank wall. Pour a full, level, properly reinforced pad sized to the footprint, and anchor or tie down the empty tank until it is filled, because a tall poly vertical standing 80 inches over an 85-inch base is wind-vulnerable before the water goes in. Our Concrete Pad Sizing guide covers the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies. For a model-specific deep dive, see the 1550 gallon vertical tank buyer's guide (note that the footprint on this Enduraplas model is 85 x 85 inches, and confirm dimensions against the technical drawing on this page).
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP, from the nearest of our two Enduraplas plants: Converse, TX or Neche, ND. Because a 1,550-gallon vertical is a tall, bulky freight item, the origin closest to you usually sets the best rate.
