The Enduraplas 2800 Gallon White Horizontal Leg Tank is a transport-and-storage workhorse for fertilizer haulers, applicators, and chemical operations that need a wide, stable footprint. At 2800 gallons in natural white polyethylene, it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, measures 145 in. long by 97 in. wide by 75 in. high, and rides on integrated legs that keep it level on a trailer or a pad. This is the kind of horizontal leg tank operators search for when they want real haul capacity without stepping up to steel.
Will it work for your load?
Confirm two numbers before you buy: weight and footprint. Filled with water this tank carries about 23,352 lb, and at its full 1.9 SG rating it is built to hold up to 44,369 lb of contents. That rated figure is what matters if you are hauling a dense fertilizer blend or a heavy chemical, so size your trailer, axles, and tie-downs to the rated weight, not the water weight. The footprint is 97.0 x 145.0 in., which sets the deck space you need on a transport trailer or in a containment area. The horizontal leg design carries that load low and wide, which is exactly why this white Enduraplas horizontal tank is favored for fertilizer transport and field service. Run your scenario through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your route and product density.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is rated at 1.9 specific gravity in polyethylene, which is the top SG rating, so there is no heavier-rated tank to step up to for dense product. The resin is recorded in our data as HDLPE, but that value is unconfirmed - confirm HDLPE versus XLPE with us before any chemical service, because crosslinked and linear polyethylene behave differently under aggressive chemistries. If you are running one of the harsher products below (98% sulfuric acid, 50% hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, or peracetic acid), verify resin type before you purchase. The compatibility below comes from the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific; verify your exact concentration and operating temperature against that chart before committing a product. One important note: fittings and gaskets are not pre-installed and are not part of this tank's listed package - select and order them separately to match your chemistry.
- Acetic Acid (60%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrochloric Acid (37%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Peracetic Acid (30%) - 316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets
- Phosphoric Acid (85%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets (concentration not specified in our chart; confirm before service)
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets (concentration not specified in our chart; confirm before service)
- Sodium Bisulfate - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets (concentration not specified in our chart; confirm before service)
- Sodium Bisulfite - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets (concentration not specified in our chart; confirm before service)
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sulfuric Acid (98%) - CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Zinc Orthophosphate - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets (concentration not specified in our chart; confirm before service)
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
Note the harshest chemistries here demand upgraded hardware, not the default PVC/EPDM: 98% sulfuric acid runs CPVC fittings with Viton gaskets, peracetic acid runs 316SS with Aflas, DEF runs 316SS, and the Viton-gasket oxidizers (hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric, phosphoric, and hydrofluoric acids) all need Viton rather than EPDM. Match the materials above to the exact chemical you are running. For the full picture and side-by-side material selection, see the chemical compatibility resource.
The mistake to avoid
The two most common errors on a tank this size are loading to volume instead of weight, and mismatching fitting materials. Hauling a dense product at 2800 gallons can push you well past the water weight and into the rated 44,369 lb territory, so plan your axles and securement around the rated figure. Just as critical: a fitting or gasket that is wrong for your chemistry will fail long before the tank does, which is why the materials listed above are product-specific - and why they are ordered separately rather than assumed. Review the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and dimensions, and call us at 866-418-1777 if you want to talk through a fertilizer-blend or chemical haul setup. Our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer, loaf-style portable utility tanks and DOT classification, and fertilizer-blend tank stratification cover the field details that catch problems early.
