The Snyder Industries 10,500-gallon vertical storage tank is a black polyethylene bulk-storage vessel built to the ASTM D1998 standard and rated to 1.4 specific gravity, so it holds contents heavier than water while keeping the full-height wall thickness the standard requires. At 142 inches across and 169 inches tall, it lands squarely in the large-footprint vertical tank class used for rural fire-water reservoirs, agricultural water storage, and industrial process and reuse water where a single high-capacity vessel beats a manifold of smaller ones.
Will it work for your site?
Plan around three hard numbers from this tank. Filled with water it carries roughly 87,570 pounds, and at its full 1.4 SG rating it can reach about 122,598 pounds of contents. That combined load rides on a 142.0 x 142.0-inch footprint, so you need close to 11.9 x 11.9 feet of engineered floor space and about 14.1 feet of vertical clearance to set it. The pad has to be built for the concentrated weight, not just sized to the tank diameter. The black exterior blocks light to limit algae growth in stored water, and the 1.4 SG rating gives you headroom above plain water if you are banding grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate at varying densities. Run your volume and elevation targets through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit the pad, and confirm the poured slab against the ACI 360R-10 pad-sizing framework so the foundation matches these loads.
Freight and lead time
A tank this size ships LTL as a single oversized unit, quoted live to your ZIP. Snyder molds this line at Lincoln, NE and Philippi, WV, so freight is calculated from whichever of those two plants is nearest your delivery point to keep the haul short. Get a number before you order using the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will price the LTL move and confirm delivery requirements for the destination.
The mistake to avoid
Do not treat the 1.4 SG rating as free freeboard for a full tank of dense liquid. The rating is the density ceiling the wall is built for; if your stored water sits outside in cold climates you still need to plan freeboard and freeze protection deliberately, as covered in our fire-water reservoir design guide, and the ASTM D1998 freeboard discipline detailed in our freeboard sizing breakdown. For reuse trains that aggregate grey-water and rainwater, our water reuse tank topology guide walks through quality-banded storage. Check the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and dimensional detail before you set piping.
