The Enduraplas 2000 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV02000B) is a 2,000-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where a tall, small-footprint reservoir makes sense. It measures roughly 90 inches in diameter and 93 inches tall, so it drops onto a 90 x 90 inch pad - useful when you are laying out a foundation or fitting a vertical storage tank into an existing wash bay, farm yard, or remote fire-water site. Before you move it in, confirm the doorway or gate clearance against that 90 in diameter and 93 in height so the tank actually reaches its spot. The black polyethylene shell blocks light, which slows algae growth in outdoor water storage compared with lighter, translucent tanks. It ships LTL freight quoted live to your ZIP from whichever of our two stocking plants is closer - Converse, TX or Neche, ND - so buyers across the middle of the country often see a materially better number from one plant than the other.
Will this tank work for your job?
Filled with water, this tank carries a full water weight of 16,680 lb, so the pad and everything under it has to be rated for that load plus the tank itself. The shell is rated to a specific gravity of 1.9, and at that rating the maximum contents weight climbs to 31,692 lb - meaning the body can hold denser liquids than plain water, up to that 1.9 SG ceiling. Size your foundation for the contents you will actually store, not just the water figure: a buyer planning a denser-than-water liquid who anchors on 16,680 lb can badly under-design the pad, since the real load can reach 31,692 lb plus tank tare at maximum SG. For plain water at 1.0 SG you are nowhere near the structural limit, which makes this a dependable choice for non-potable water storage, irrigation supply, rainwater aggregation, and fire-water reservoir duty. If you are still choosing a size, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint.
Planning the pad and the install
A vertical storage tank this size needs a flat, fully supported, continuous foundation - a partial or uneven pad concentrates load and stresses the tank wall once it is holding thousands of pounds. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that foundation right. If this tank is headed into a rural or remote fire-protection role, our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For reuse setups pulling from grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, see our piece on industrial water reuse tank topology. Any closed vertical also needs adequate venting for your fill and draw rates; our atmospheric vent capacity calculations guide runs API 2000 worked examples for verticals in exactly this range. Fitting configuration is not published in this listing - confirm inlet, outlet, and fitting sizes and locations against the technical drawing on this page, or by phone, before you plumb anything.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tall vertical is treating the SG rating as a green light for any heavy liquid. The 1.9 rating describes what the tank wall can structurally hold - it does not mean the polyethylene is chemically compatible with every dense fluid, and 1.9 is already the top of the structural range on this shell, so there is no heavier-rated version to step up to. This listing is for water service; if you are considering anything other than water, confirm chemical compatibility first rather than assuming the SG number covers it. The other frequent miss is skipping the vent sizing - a fast pump on a sealed tank can pull a vacuum and collapse the wall.
