The Snyder Industries 1025 Gallon Horizontal Leg Tank is a long, low-profile transport and storage tank built for hauling liquid loads that need to ride low and stay stable. It measures 139 inches long by 48 inches wide by 50 inches high, holds 1025 gallons, and is molded from white polyethylene with integral leg-style supports and securing hoops to lock the tank to a trailer or skid. This is a haul-rated tank carrying a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the high-density end of the range, which is what lets it handle dense liquids well beyond plain water. If you have searched for a horizontal tank, leg tank, or Snyder horizontal tank to move product around a farm or job site, this is that tank.
Will it work for your liquid and your load?
Start with weight, because that is what governs whether your trailer and tie-downs are sized correctly. Filled to capacity with plain water, the contents weigh about 8,548 pounds. At the tank's full 1.9 specific gravity rating, the maximum rated contents weight climbs to 16,242 pounds, so the denser your liquid, the closer you move toward that ceiling. Before you load, multiply your liquid's specific gravity by the water-full figure to confirm you stay under the rating, then check the result against your trailer's axle capacity. The Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide walk through that math. The 48 x 139 inch footprint and 50 inch height keep the load low and centered, which matters when the tank is in motion. For agricultural transport, the guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and on DOT classification for farm fleet use explain how these tanks are scoped under the relevant exemptions.
Chemical compatibility
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is what makes this tank suitable for many dense chemical liquids rather than water alone. The resin family is recorded as HDLPE but is not yet confirmed against this exact mold, so confirm HDLPE versus XLPE construction with us before you commit it to chemical service. Compatibility always depends on concentration, temperature, fitting material, and gasket material, so match the chart below to your real conditions and verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your specific concentration and operating temperature. Note that the fitting and gasket materials listed are the seal and plumbing materials to spec separately for each chemical, not hardware included with the tank.
Within the 1.9 specific gravity rating, the following are listed as compatible at the noted concentrations, with the recommended fitting and gasket materials: Acetic Acid 60% (PP/PVC, EPDM, details), Aluminum Sulfate 50% (PVC, EPDM, details), Calcium Chloride 40% (PVC, EPDM, details), DEF 32.5% (316SS, EPDM, details), Ethylene Glycol 100% (PVC, EPDM, details), Ferric Chloride 50% (PVC, EPDM, details), Ferric Sulfate 60% (PVC, EPDM, details), Ferrous Sulfate 20% (PVC, EPDM, details), Hydrochloric Acid 37% (PVC, Viton, details), Hydrofluoric Acid 48% (PP/PVC, Viton, details), Hydrofluosilicic Acid 26% (PP/PVC, Viton, details), Hydrogen Peroxide 50% (PVC, Viton, details), Magnesium Chloride 30% (PVC, EPDM, details), Peracetic Acid 30% (316SS, Aflas, details), Phosphoric Acid 85% (PVC, Viton, details), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM, details), Potassium Carbonate 50% (PVC, EPDM, details), Potassium Hydroxide saturated (PVC, EPDM, details), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM, details), Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM, details), Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM, details), Sodium Carbonate 30% (PVC, EPDM, details), Sodium Hypochlorite under 16.5% (PVC, Viton, details), Sodium Thiosulfate 40% (PVC, EPDM, details), Sulfuric Acid 98% (CPVC, Viton, details), Urea Solution 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM, details), Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM, details), and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM). The gaskets cluster into EPDM for most salts and glycols, Viton for the oxidizers and strong acids (hydrochloric, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrofluoric), and Aflas for peracetic acid alone, so do not assume one set of seals covers your whole list. See the full chemical compatibility reference and confirm your concentration and temperature before ordering.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank like this is mixing up the specific gravity math. The 1.9 rating is the upper limit, not a free pass: every chemical above has its own density and concentration, and several require Viton or Aflas gaskets and CPVC or stainless fittings rather than standard PVC. Spec the fitting and gasket to the actual chemical, not to the tank, and never load past the 16,242 pound rated contents weight even if there is room left in the tank. Because 1.9 is already the high-density ceiling for this line, there is no heavier-rated alternative to step up to, which makes loading discipline the whole game. For dense-blend transport, the guide on fertilizer-blend tank stratification and the Snyder Captor double-wall SPCC walkthrough are worth reading before you finalize a containment plan.
