The Snyder Industries 6000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 7000000C137) is a white, high-density linear polyethylene tank built for large-volume liquid storage where footprint and vertical height do the work. It measures 120" diameter x 132" tall, holds 6000 gallons, and ships empty at 1,155 pounds with an 18-inch lid and a 1.9 specific gravity rating. If you are comparing 6000 gallon vertical tanks from Snyder Industries, this is the no-fitting version - it arrives without a factory-installed bulkhead outlet, so you specify and locate your own fittings during install. It carries certifications 2285 and 2282 and is rated to a maximum contents temperature of 120 F / 48 C.
Will it hold your liquid
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number that matters here, and on a tank this size it is a capability, not just a constraint. It means the wall is engineered to carry contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water - dense liquids that a standard SG-1.0 or SG-1.35 tank cannot hold. Filled with plain water (SG 1.0) the tank carries roughly 50,040 pounds of liquid; at full rated capacity the contents weight climbs to about 95,076 pounds. That headroom covers most heavier-than-water liquids, but confirm your specific gravity against 1.9 before you commit - a liquid denser than the rating is the single most common sizing mistake on tanks this size. This is HDLPE (linear, not cross-linked), so if your service is chemical rather than water, verify the resin and SG fit before ordering. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity, footprint, and contents weight to your pad.
Site, foundation, and fittings
A 120-inch diameter footprint carrying a worst-case 95,076-pound contents load demands a level, engineered pad rated for the full weight - a flat concrete slab sized to the 120-inch circle with no voids under the base. The 18-inch lid gives top access for fill, venting, and inspection. Because this is the no-fitting configuration, plan your outlet location and bulkhead size before the tank is set; it is far easier to lay out plumbing on an empty tank than a full one. One thing to get right: match both the HDLPE tank wall AND your chosen gasket and fitting material to the stored liquid - the gasket is a separate compatibility decision from the tank resin.
