The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU SII-1008600C26) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding bulk water duty. Its 1.9 specific-gravity rating gives the shell structural margin above a standard-duty tank, which is what earns the "heavy duty" name and gives you extra headroom on a full 1,000-gallon column of water or heavy water-based contents.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water at roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, this 1000 gallon vertical tank holds about 8,340 lb of full water weight. The manufacturer's maximum rated contents weight is 15,846 lb — that is simply the 8,340 lb water figure multiplied by the 1.9 SG rating, so it represents the heaviest fluid load the shell is engineered to carry when brimful. Size your foundation to your actual contents: contents weight equals 8,340 lb times your fluid's real specific gravity, up to that 15,846 lb ceiling. A level, continuously supported base is essential for any vertical poly storage tank of this footprint. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 1,000-gallon vertical geometry fits your available footprint and headroom before you order. Fitting configuration — outlet size and placement and gasket material — is not specified here, so confirm those details by phone before you buy if your plumbing has to land in a specific spot.
Freight: how it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from Snyder's plant in Chowchilla, California, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships only from Chowchilla, so West Coast and California-adjacent ZIPs quote lowest, while a cross-country East Coast delivery becomes the main freight-cost driver to check before committing. Get an exact number by running your ZIP through our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we'll quote it by phone.
The mistake to avoid
The most common oversight on a heavy-duty vertical is pouring a pad sized only for water weight, then loading a denser fluid the 1.9-rated wall was actually bought to handle. Match your foundation to your real contents, not just the 8,340 lb water number. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right. If this unit is headed into rural fire-water or reserve service, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
