The Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU SII-1002100C37) is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk liquid holding on farms, fire-water reservoirs, and rural water systems. It stands 154 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch footprint, so before you pick a location, confirm you have the overhead clearance and a level pad wide enough to carry the load. It ships LTL on a single freight movement from the Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, quoted live to your ZIP, so if you are far from WV it is worth pricing freight early with our Freight Cost Estimator before you finalize the order.
Will it work for your liquid and site?
This tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the polyethylene wall is engineered for dense contents, not just water. Full of water, the contents weigh 41,700 pounds; only jobs storing liquids up to that full 1.9 specific gravity approach the maximum rated 79,230 pounds. For a white water tank, fire reserve, or lighter liquids you have substantial headroom on the wall rating and no need to over-build. If you are unsure which capacity and footprint suit your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before ordering.
The mistake to avoid
Size the pad to the liquid you will actually store. A water-service installation needs a foundation that carries roughly 41,700 pounds; reserve the 79,230-pound figure for the case where you are storing liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity. Whichever number applies, verify the surface is dead level across the full 102 x 102 inch footprint, because uneven or undersized support is what shortens the service life of an otherwise sound vertical storage tank. Check the technical drawing on this page for the fitting layout and configuration so your plumbing is planned before delivery day.
Fire-water and reservoir use
At 5000 gallons this is a workhorse size for private fire protection and remote-site water reserves. Our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, and our 5000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide covers configuration choices in depth.
