The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black, heavy-duty HDPE tank molded from high-density linear polyethylene and rated for contents up to 1.9 specific gravity, which is why it holds up under dense liquids as well as plain water. It carries a nominal 1000 gallons on a 74 x 74 inch footprint. If you are sizing a vertical storage tank for water, feed stock, or process liquid, the numbers below tell you exactly what this tank will do and how it ships.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 8,340 pounds of contents, and its 1.9 SG rating means the shell is built for a maximum rated contents weight near 15,846 pounds. That headroom is what lets you run heavier-than-water liquids without exceeding the tank's design. Plan your pad for the full 74 x 74 inch footprint and the loaded weight, not the empty tank, and confirm the overall height off the technical drawing on this page before you set anchors or a roof line. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to check that this 1000 gallon capacity fits your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing, the tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior entry, cleaning, and inspection. The vent on that 18-inch fitting matters: it lets air move as the level changes, which guards against vacuum pull on a fast draw-down and pressure buildup on a fast fill. Confirm fitting locations and elevations against the drawing before you plumb the site, since inlet and outlet placement drives your manifold layout.
Density is the mistake to avoid
The most common error on a heavy-duty vertical tank is reading the 1.9 SG rating as a license to store any dense liquid. That rating is a structural weight limit, not a chemical-compatibility statement. For anything beyond water, verify your liquid's specific gravity stays within 1.9 and check chemical compatibility separately, including the gasket and seal materials at the flange, the 18-inch threaded fitting, and the 15-inch manway, each of which contacts the liquid independently of the HDPE shell. For the wall-thickness logic behind these ratings, our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing is worth reading first.
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the nearest Snyder plant, either Chowchilla, CA or Lincoln, NE, with the mode quoted live to your ZIP. Because those plants sit on two sides of the country, West-of-Rockies and Central buyers see materially different LTL, so get a real number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777. Have your delivery ZIP and any liftgate or limited-access needs ready so the quote is accurate the first time.
