The Enduraplas 870 Gallon Green Vertical Storage Tank stands 78 inches tall on a 60-inch diameter footprint and holds 870 gallons of water or liquid in molded polyethylene. Because Enduraplas rates this vertical to a 1.9 specific gravity, the same tank that handles straight water can later carry a denser-than-water liquid without stepping up to a heavier-walled tank - the wall is built to a maximum rated contents weight of 13,786 pounds. For a water install you will likely never use that full rating, but it is real headroom if your service changes.
Will it work for your site?
Screen the clearances first: at 78 inches tall on a 60-inch diameter base, confirm door, ceiling, and slab dimensions before delivery. Full of water this vertical storage tank weighs about 7,256 pounds, which is the figure that drives pad design and rigging for a water install. If you intend to fill with a heavier liquid, design instead toward the 13,786-pound maximum rated contents weight. A flat, level pad that fully supports the base is not optional at this weight class. If you are still confirming that 870 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle, work through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Pad and placement
At roughly 7,256 pounds full of water and up to 13,786 pounds with denser contents, this is a tank that wants engineered support. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for sizing a slab under a vertical like this one. If the tank anchors a rural or remote fire-water reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, and reuse setups are covered in our industrial water reuse tank topology guide.
The mistake to avoid
Match the specific gravity to your actual contents, not to the tank's maximum, and decide before you pour the pad. The 1.9 SG rating means this Enduraplas can legitimately hold liquids heavier than water, but it does not change how you support it: a slab sized and padded for water weight will be undersupported if you later switch to a denser liquid. Size the pad to the heavier of the two weights from the start. Fittings, bulkhead and gasket selection, and outlet placement are confirmed at the time of order, so call us with what is going in the tank and we will set them up correctly.
