The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white bulk tank molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene (HDLPE) for water and liquid storage. It stands 109 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint, so plan your pad and overhead clearance around those numbers before you order. It carries a specific gravity rating of 1.9, meaning it is built to hold water and denser liquids up to that limit.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this vertical HDLPE storage tank weighs roughly 25,020 lb, and at its full rated 1.9 specific gravity the contents can reach about 47,538 lb. That total load, not the empty tank weight, is what your foundation has to carry. A 3000 gallon vertical tank on a 96 x 96 inch base needs a level, continuously supported concrete pad sized to the full footprint, with no overhang at the base knuckle. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the capacity and pad match your draw-down and refill cycle.
Fittings and configuration
Fitting sizes and locations are not published for this SKU, so do not assume a specific outlet, vent, or manway layout from the listing alone. Refer to the technical drawing on this page as a general reference, and confirm the exact outlet and vent configuration by phone at 866-418-1777 before ordering so your plumbing lines up on delivery day.
How does it ship?
This is a large vertical tank, so it moves by LTL freight, shipped from the nearest stocking plant in Albertville, AL and quoted live to your ZIP code. Because dimensional weight and destination drive the cost, get an exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator before you commit. Have a forklift or crane and a clear, level unloading spot ready; a tank this size is offloaded upright and should not be dragged or rolled.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is under-building the base. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the shell can safely hold dense liquids, but your pad, ring wall, and any secondary containment still have to support the full contents weight near 47,538 lb. Confirm the liquid you are storing stays at or below SG 1.9 and that your foundation is engineered for that load, not just for water.
