The Snyder Industries 3500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, high density linear polyethylene tank built for bulk water and liquid holding where footprint matters more than headroom. It stands 125 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch square base, giving you 3,500 gallons of capacity in a compact footprint that fits most equipment pads, pump sheds, and containment areas. The body is molded in HDLPE and rated to 1.5 specific gravity, so it handles standard water and liquid storage with margin to spare.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your site?
The core dimensions are simple to check against your space:
- Overall height: 125 in
- Footprint: 96 x 96 in (square)
- Capacity: 3,500 gallons
- Full water weight: ~29,190 lb
- Max rated contents (1.5 SG): 43,785 lb
Weight is the real design driver here. Filled with water this tank and contents weigh about 29,190 pounds, and at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating the maximum contents weight reaches 43,785 pounds, all bearing on that 96 x 96 inch footprint. Plan a level pad engineered for the full 43,785 pound rated load, not the empty tank weight, and confirm the 125 inch height clears your building, fill line, or overhead structure before you order. If you are matching capacity to demand rather than to a fixed space, run the numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations, and call 866-418-1777 to confirm the outlet and bulkhead configuration for your application before ordering.
Freight: how this tank ships
This is an LTL freight item, quoted live to your ZIP. Snyder molds this vertical storage tank at two plants, so we ship from the one nearest you to keep transit and cost down: East and Southeast orders route from Albertville, Alabama, and Western orders from Merced, California. A 3,500 gallon vertical tank is oversized freight that moves on a dedicated LTL line, not parcel. Get an exact number before you commit with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it with you.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.5 specific gravity rating describes the density this tank is structurally built to hold, not an endorsement for chemical service. This is a water and standard liquid storage tank; if your liquid is denser than water, verify the specific gravity of your actual contents against that 1.5 rating before filling. The other common error on a white vertical tank this heavy is undersizing the foundation, so size the pad around the full 43,785 pound rated load from the start.
