The Snyder Industries 6000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white vertical storage tank molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene, built for high-volume water and bulk liquid holding where a large footprint and serious standing capacity are the priority. It stands 132 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch base, so plan the pad and overhead clearance before it arrives. Rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, it carries denser contents than a plain water-only tank while staying a straightforward fit for bulk fresh-water and vertical storage duty.
Will this tank work for your site?
Filled with water this tank carries roughly 50,040 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is engineered to hold up to about 75,060 pounds. That standing weight drives everything about the install: the slab has to be flat, level, and sized to support the full 120 x 120 inch footprint with the tank at capacity. Overhead matters just as much — allow at least 11 feet of clearance above the pad for the 132-inch shell, plus room for fill and vent access on top. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 6000-gallon volume matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit. For rural fire-water and reservoir planning at this scale, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If 6000 gallons is more than you need, the smaller white vertical tanks — such as the 2000 gallon, 500 gallon, and 300 gallon — share the same vertical storage tank format at a lighter footprint.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is under-building the foundation. The 1.5 specific gravity rating tells you what the wall can hold, but it does not lighten the load on your pad — 75,060 pounds is what the slab has to carry at full rated density. The rating also means this shell can take liquids heavier than water, so if you plan to run anything denser than fresh water, match your gasket and fitting materials to that liquid rather than defaulting to a water setup.
