The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SII-5130000C26) is a white, high density linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and heavier liquid holding. It stands 127 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, holds 3,000 gallons, and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what separates it from a water-only vessel. Here is what to confirm before you order and how it ships.
Will it work for your site?
At 127 inches (about 10.6 feet) tall, this vertical HDPE storage tank is taller than a standard 8-foot opening and clears most 10-foot doors and ceilings only barely, so plan for a taller opening or an outdoor set and check overhead obstructions before you commit. The tank's base is a 90-inch diameter, so pour a level engineered pad slightly larger than the footprint, roughly 96 x 96 inches, so the tank isn't flush to the pad edge. Filled with water at 8.34 pounds per gallon, tank and contents reach about 25,020 pounds, so the pad has to be rated concrete. Because this Snyder tank is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, it can carry denser liquids up to roughly 47,538 pounds of contents, which is why it turns up under searches for heavy-duty vertical HDPE storage tanks. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 3,000 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle.
Fittings and configuration
Published fitting details are not listed for this SKU, so confirm the outlet, fill, and vent arrangement against the technical drawing on this page, and call 866-418-1777 to verify the exact configuration before you order so the plumbing lines up with your existing runs. To compare this against other 3000-gallon vertical footprints, our buyer's guides walk through the tradeoffs: see the 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide and the alternate footprint write-ups for the 102 x 93 and 95 x 109 versions.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number people overlook. The single SKU already covers water and many heavier-than-water solutions up to that 47,538-pound content limit, but a strong SG rating is not a chemical approval. Match your liquid's specific gravity to 1.9 AND verify chemical resistance separately before storing anything but water. The other common regret on a tank this tall is undersizing the pad or skipping the height check, so lock both down first.
