The Enduraplas 3000 Gallon Green Horizontal Leg Tank is a 3000-gallon polyethylene horizontal leg tank built for hauling and field transfer, where the load rides on its side and the integrated legs keep it stable on a trailer or skid. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what lets this enduraplas horizontal tank move heavy fertilizer blends and dense chemical loads that would overstress a standard 1.5-rated tank.
Will it work for your load?
The tank measures 130 inches long by 87 inches wide by 90 inches high, giving an 87.0 x 130.0 inch footprint to plan your trailer deck or containment pad around. Filled with water it weighs about 25,020 lb, and at its 1.9 SG rating it is engineered to carry up to 47,538 lb of contents. Read that ceiling honestly: at 1.9 SG a full 3,000 gallons of product weighs essentially the rated maximum, so the SG rating and the volume are matched at the brim and there is no headroom to top off a dense 1.9 product. Confirm your trailer, axles, and tie-downs are rated for the loaded weight before you haul, and run the dimensions through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are matching this tank to a deck or a target volume. Because this is a horizontal leg tank, it is designed to ship and transport on its side rather than stand vertically. Factory fitting sizes and locations are not specified in our listed specs, so confirm them against the technical drawing on this page or by phone before you plumb it.
Chemical compatibility
This tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating. Confirm the resin grade with the manufacturer before you commit it to chemical service, since linear (HDLPE) and cross-linked (XLPE) polyethylene behave differently with aggressive media. Within its rating, this tank is compatible with a broad chemical list when paired with the correct fitting and gasket materials. Common matches include sulfuric acid at 98% (CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets), hydrochloric acid at 37% (PVC, Viton), phosphoric acid at 85% (PVC, Viton), sodium hypochlorite below 16.5% (PVC, Viton), hydrogen peroxide at 50% (PVC, Viton), ferric chloride at 50% (PVC, EPDM), aluminum sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM), calcium chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM), ethylene glycol at 100% (PVC, EPDM), acetic acid at 60% (PP/PVC, EPDM), hydrofluoric acid at 48% (PP/PVC, Viton), peracetic acid at 30% (316SS, Aflas), DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) at 32.5% (316SS, EPDM), urea solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM), and potassium hydroxide saturated (PVC, EPDM). DEF and peracetic acid are the two exceptions on this list that require 316 stainless fittings rather than plastic, so do not plastic-plumb a DEF transfer line. Others on the chart include ferric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium chloride, hydrofluosilicic acid, polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate, propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium carbonate, sodium thiosulfate, zinc orthophosphate, and ozonated water (up to 10 PPM). Always verify your exact chemical against the OEM chemical-resistance chart at your specific concentration and temperature, match the fitting and gasket material listed, and start from our chemical compatibility reference.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest error on a tank like this is loading a dense product into a tank that is not rated for it, or assuming the resin handles a chemical it does not. The 1.9 SG rating is what allows heavy hauling, but it is not a blanket chemical approval. Confirm the resin grade for your chemical, match every fitting and gasket to the chart, and never exceed the rated contents weight even if there is room in the tank. Review the technical drawing on this page for the fitting layout and leg geometry before you plumb it. For agricultural hauling, our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer, loaf-style portable utility tanks and 49 CFR exemptions, and fertilizer-blend tank stratification are worth reading before you load.
