The Snyder Industries 10000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in green is built for high-volume bulk water storage, holding a full 10,000 gallons in a 142-inch by 142-inch footprint that stands 166.5 inches tall. It is molded from high density linear polyethylene with a 1.2 specific gravity rating, so it carries the weight of water and modestly denser liquids without stress to the wall. Full of water this tank weighs roughly 83,400 pounds, and it is rated to carry contents up to 100,080 pounds, which is the number that matters when you pour and level the pad underneath it.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank in the truest sense: a tall, large-diameter cylinder sized for fixed water-storage installations where you need serious gallons in a compact 142 x 142 inch square of ground. The 1.2 specific gravity rating means the tank is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.2 times the weight of water, so straight water service leaves comfortable headroom. If your liquid runs heavier than water, confirm it stays at or under 1.2 SG before you order; anything heavier than that calls for a higher-SG tank, which is a separate model, so call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to the right one. Confirm the fitting and outlet layout you need against the technical drawing on this page before you order, since vertical tanks this size are typically configured with a specific bulkhead outlet and vent arrangement. If you are still settling on the right capacity for your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide first.
Foundation and weight planning
At 100,080 pounds of rated contents weight, the pad under this tank is the single most important part of the install. A 142-inch square footprint concentrates a heavy load, and a vertical of this size demands a level, full-coverage reinforced concrete foundation with no point loading at the edges. The most common and most expensive mistake operators make with a tank this large is undersizing the foundation or setting it on uncompacted fill, which lets the base flex and load the wall unevenly. Plan the pad to the full rated weight from the Tank Sizing Calculator, not just the weight of the water you expect to keep in it day to day. Operators should also understand where these tanks actually wear: our HDPE wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing guide walks through why premature failures originate in the vapor-saturated headspace, not the liquid side.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP, from the nearest Snyder Industries plant in Albertville, AL or Merced, CA. A 166.5-inch tall vertical is an oversize load, so freight is handled as a dedicated LTL movement rather than parcel. Get an exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator before you commit. For rural or remote fire-water reservoir work, bring our engineering in through the fire-water reservoir design guide; if you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows how a vertical of this scale fits a quality-banded storage train. Operators planning vent capacity on verticals this size should review our API 2000 vent sizing worked examples. For a freight quote or help confirming fittings, call 866-418-1777.
