2500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume bulk water and dense-liquid holding. Its dimensions are a clean 90 x 90 in footprint by 107 in tall - nearly nine feet at full height - so confirm your pad, doorway, and overhead clearance before you commit to a spot. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered to hold liquids far denser than plain water.

Will it work for your site?

Full of water, 2500 gallons weighs roughly 20,850 lb resting on that 90 x 90 in square. That number drives the whole install: the ground has to carry more than ten tons concentrated on the footprint, so a level, load-rated concrete pad sized to the full 90 x 90 in base is not optional. The 1.9 SG rating raises the maximum rated contents weight to about 39,615 lb (2500 gal x 8.34 x 1.9), which is your storage ceiling - the tank is spec'd for liquids up to 1.9 times water density, covering many fertilizers, brines, and process liquids in that range. If you are weighing capacities or working out pad loads, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first. For outlet, bulkhead, and fitting placement on this vertical tank, see the technical drawing on this page.

Freight: how it ships

This is a large vertical tank that moves by LTL freight, not parcel. It ships from the nearest Snyder plant: Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV. Eastern buyers typically route out of West Virginia and central or western buyers out of Nebraska, and which plant serves you materially changes the LTL cost. Because a tank this size is quoted by dimensions and destination, freight is priced live to your ZIP rather than baked into the list price. Get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will route it from whichever plant lands the better rate to your door.

The mistake to avoid

The most common error on a tank this heavy is underbuilding the foundation. People see a plastic tank and forget the water inside weighs over ten tons. Set it on soft ground, gravel, or an unlevel slab and the shell can distort or the pad can shift, shortening tank life. Give it a full-diameter, level, load-rated pad. And use the 1.9 SG capability rather than assuming a lighter-rated tank would have done the same job - this one is built to store demanding liquids that thinner-walled tanks are not.
