The Snyder Industries 10000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and liquid storage. It holds 10,000 gallons, stands 167 inches tall, and sits on a 142 x 142 inch square footprint. This is a large palletized tank, and the two numbers that decide your project are the loaded weight your pad has to carry and which Snyder plant your freight ships from. Both are below.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank molded in HDLPE and carrying a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, meaning it is rated to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water. Already rated to 1.9 SG, it handles denser liquids without stepping up to a heavier-duty tank, while giving a water-service buyer plenty of headroom. Filled with water, the contents alone weigh roughly 83,400 lbs, and the tank is rated to carry contents up to 158,460 lbs at its full 1.9 SG rating. Plan your foundation for that loaded number: a tank this size needs a level, engineered concrete pad sized for the filled weight, not a gravel bed or a wood frame. An undersized or unlevel pad cracks, settles, and stresses the tank wall. At 167 inches tall (just under 14 ft) on a 142 inch (~11.8 ft) square footprint, confirm door and gate width, overhead lines, and crane or forklift reach before the truck arrives. If you are still working out whether 10,000 gallons matches your draw rate or storage days, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Venting is mandatory on a tank this size
On a sealed 10,000 gallon vertical holding a liquid that moves and changes temperature, under-venting can collapse the wall, so vent capacity belongs in your buy decision alongside the pad. Our worked-example guide on atmospheric vent capacity calculations covers API 2000 thermal inbreathing, liquid-movement outbreathing, and combined sizing right up to the 10,000 gallon verticals like this one. Fittings are not specified in this listing, so confirm your inlet, outlet, and vent configuration against the technical drawing on this page, or call us at 866-418-1777, before you order. A 10,000 gallon vertical is a workhorse for bulk water storage, agricultural and irrigation supply, and rural or remote fire-water reservoirs; if this tank is going into a private fire-protection system, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection for cold-climate service.
Comparing sizes before you commit
If you are weighing this 10,000 gallon vertical against a smaller unit, the buyer's guides for the 2000 gallon vertical and the 500 gallon vertical lay out the same footprint, weight, and sizing tradeoffs at smaller volumes. People shopping this unit search it as a vertical storage tank, a Snyder 10000 vertical tank, or simply a 10000 gallon vertical, and the spec that separates it from lighter verticals is that 1.9 SG rating.
This 10,000 gallon Snyder Industries vertical storage tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from whichever Snyder plant is nearest you, either Albertville, AL or Merced, CA, and on an 83,400 lb-class freight item that origin choice swings your cost materially between the southeast and the west. Because this is a large palletized tank, freight is quoted per destination rather than carried in the list price.
