The Snyder Industries 12500 gallon vertical liquid storage tank in white is one of the largest single-tank polyethylene vessels you can put on a pad, standing 199 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch square footprint. It is built from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold heavier-than-water liquids at full volume without exceeding the wall design. For bulk water storage, fire-water reserves, and large-scale liquid handling, this white vertical storage tank is a genuine workhorse.
Will it work for your site?
Size the pad and the load before anything else. Filled with water at 12,500 gallons, the contents alone weigh 104,250 pounds, and the tank is rated to a maximum contents weight of 198,075 pounds at its 1.9 specific gravity limit. That means your foundation has to be engineered concrete rated for the full load across the 142.0 x 142.0 inch footprint - a compacted-gravel pad is not adequate at this scale. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.9; if you are storing anything denser, this tank is not the right choice. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity, height clearance, and fill weight to your application before you commit.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the base and the plumbing. At over 50 tons full of water - and up to nearly 100 tons at its rated 1.9 specific gravity fill - a vertical storage tank this size puts real structural demand on the pad, so engineer the concrete for the full 198,075 pound rated load spread across the 142 x 142 inch footprint. Fitting configuration is not published for this specific unit, so confirm the outlet and any bulkhead fittings by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order valves or design your manifold, and plan the fill and draw so the tank is never loaded past its rated contents weight.
Freight and how to order
This tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, quoted live to your ZIP code. A vessel this size moves as a dedicated freight load, so confirm carrier and offloading arrangements when you get your number with the Freight Cost Estimator. If you are staging a fire-water reservoir or a multi-tank installation, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through sizing discipline and freeze protection. For pad specs, fitting confirmation, or help sizing a smaller companion tank, call 866-418-1777.
