Elkhart Plastics, a Myers Industries Company and recognized leader in rotational molding, introduced its new Vertical Water Storage Tanks—broadening its product portfolio and marking its entry into a new market.

Designed to protect people, livestock, crops, and property, these vertical storage tanks support a wide range of commercial and residential water needs. From crop irrigation and livestock care to manufacturing processes and fire suppression, they provide reliable access to water—critical in regions facing water scarcity. The tanks also protect resources by enabling bulk water storage, well water collection, and rainwater harvesting.

Elkhart’s Vertical Water Storage Tanks have been engineered for durability and cost-efficiency, making them the ideal choice in many operations. Constructed from UV-resistant, FDA-approved high-density polyethylene, the tanks come with a 10-year limited warranty and currently are available in four sizes—1,000-, 1,500-, 2,500-, and 3,000-gallon capacities—with more sizes planned.

The tanks also feature key design elements that enhance performance:

• Multiple connection points—risers and tie-downs with flat surfaces offer greater flexibility for additional fittings
• Dual manway lids—provide more flexibility for secure top-down access
• Integrated air bleeds—help maximize fill efficiency and minimize fill time
• Tough tank top—large radii and increased wall thickness safeguard against sun exposure

“The launch of our Vertical Water Storage Tank underscores our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability,” said Cullen Jones, V.P. of Sales for Rotational Molding at Myers Industries. “As water becomes an increasingly precious resource, effective storage and conservation are vital to maintaining ecosystems, supporting human populations, and ensuring a sustainable future. These tanks demonstrate our dedication to delivering economically viable and environmentally responsible solutions to customers.”

The Vertical Water Storage Tanks are available for purchase directly from Elkhart or through the company’s dealer network.
