3000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SII-7410000C26) is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and liquid holding, where a large tank has to sit stable and hold a full column of liquid year after year. It stands 96 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, so before you commit, measure your pad and your gate or doorway clearance against those numbers on the technical drawing on this page.

Will this 3000 gallon vertical tank work for your site?

Filled with plain water, this tank carries roughly 25,020 pounds of contents, and at its rated specific gravity of 1.9 the structure is engineered to support up to about 47,538 pounds. Size the pad to the worst case you plan to store. That load lands on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, so the ground under it matters as much as the tank: a full vertical storage tank this size needs a level, engineered pad — a compacted base or a reinforced concrete slab rated for the load — with continuous full support under the entire bottom. Do not set it on gravel humps, timbers, or a partial ring; unsupported spans are where large poly tanks crack. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the capacity and pad you actually need before ordering.

Specific gravity and the mistake to avoid

The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the walls are engineered for liquids substantially heavier than water. For water service (SG 1.0) that gives you a wide safety margin, which is why this vertical body holds up under years of hydrostatic load. The mistake to avoid is the reverse assumption: the high rating tells you the tank can physically carry a dense liquid, but if you are storing anything denser than water you must size the fill line and the pad to that heavier weight, not the water number. Confirm the outlet and fitting locations against the technical drawing on this page — that drawing is the last check before you set the tank.

How this 3000 gallon tank ships

Because of its 96-inch height and roughly 102-inch outer width, this vertical tank ships LTL freight on a dedicated pallet, quoted live to your ZIP. Snyder builds this model at plants in Chowchilla, CA; Lincoln, NE; and Philippi, WV, and it ships from whichever of those is nearest you to keep freight cost and transit time down.
