The Enduraplas 6011-gallon beige vertical water storage tank is sized for serious bulk water duty - rural fire reserves, irrigation supply, industrial process water, and reuse trains where you need a tall column of stored water on a compact pad. It stands 110 inches tall on a 144-inch by 144-inch footprint, holding 6,011 gallons inside a beige polyethylene shell. If you have been searching for a beige water storage tank, an Enduraplas vertical storage tank, or simply a large-capacity water storage tank, this is the size class that handles it.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical water tank rated to a 1.1 specific gravity, which covers water and water-like liquids up to that density. Plan your pad and your plumbing around the real numbers: filled with plain water this tank carries roughly 50,132 pounds, while the maximum rated contents weight is 55,145 pounds. That ceiling is exactly the 1.1 SG allowance - 6,011 gallons at 1.1 times water density lands at the 55,145 lb figure - so the roughly 5,000 lb gap between water-full and max-rated is the density headroom, not spare structural margin. Check your fluid's specific gravity against that before you fill.
Foundation and bearing load
A tank this heavy lives or dies on its pad. The max-rated 55,145 pounds sits on the full 144 x 144 inch footprint - that is 20,736 square inches, or 144 square feet, which works out to about 2.66 lb per square inch (roughly 383 lb per square foot) average bearing pressure. That is the number a pad designer actually sizes against. Before you set the tank, work through the concrete pad sizing framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks so the slab is matched to the filled load and the footprint - undersizing the pad is the most common and most expensive mistake on a tank this size. Once it is set and plumbed, prove the install before you trust it by following the hydrostatic test methodology for new-install acceptance, which walks the water-fill discipline, pad settlement monitoring, and fitting leak checks. If you are still confirming this is the right capacity for your demand, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a footprint this large.
Fittings, applications, and the mistake to avoid
Inlet, outlet, and fitting configuration are not published for this tank, so confirm the layout you need before you order - call 866-418-1777 and we will sort the plumbing details rather than guessing them. At 6,011 gallons this tank fits private fire-water reservoirs, industrial water reuse, and large irrigation or process storage. If fire protection is the job, design the reserve deliberately rather than guessing capacity - the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the water reuse tank topology guide shows how to band storage by quality. The mistake to avoid: this tank is rated to 1.1 specific gravity, so it is built for water and water-like fluids - do not put a heavier liquid in it without confirming the density math above, and never count on the pad holding 55,000+ pounds unless it was poured for it.
This tank ships LTL freight from the Enduraplas plant in Converse, TX, with freight quoted live to your ZIP. It travels as an empty polyethylene shell - light for its size but a dimensional, oversize LTL load - so the 50,000+ pound figures apply only after you fill it on site. Get your freight number with the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777, and plan for offload equipment rated to the tank's crated dimensions at the receiving end.
