The Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is molded from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) in black, rated to 1.5 specific gravity, and stands 169 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch footprint. It is a large-capacity vertical tank sized for bulk water storage, fire-water reserves, industrial process water, and rainwater or reuse holding where a smaller vessel would mean multiple tanks and more plumbing.
Will it work for your site?
At full capacity this tank holds roughly 87,570 pounds of water, and its 1.5 SG wall rating carries a maximum rated contents weight of about 131,355 pounds. Those are the numbers that drive your pad and your logistics, not the empty shell. Size the foundation and any anchoring to that 131,355 lb figure, not the water weight, and check the 142 x 142 inch footprint and 169 inch height against your pad dimensions and overhead clearance in one pass. A vessel this size demands a level, engineered foundation, so read our concrete pad sizing guide for above-ground polyethylene tanks before you pour, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 10,500 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle. The XLPE construction gives a stiffer, more stress-crack-resistant wall than standard HDPE at this diameter, and at 1.5 SG it already covers dense process fluids without stepping up a class.
Fire-water and reuse duty
For rural and remote fire protection, a 10,500-gallon reservoir is a workhorse for private fire-protection storage. Our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide walks through quality-banded storage trains and treatment-stage sequencing so a black vertical tank this large earns its footprint.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error at this scale is treating fill weight and fitting placement loosely. Fitting sizes and outlet, manway, and overflow positions are not published in this listing, so confirm every penetration against the technical drawing on this page, or by calling 866-418-1777, before you order gaskets or bulkhead hardware and before you set the tank. Retrofitting penetrations on a filled 10,500-gallon vessel is not practical, so verify the working level and outlet locations while the tank is still empty.
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the nearest Snyder plant, either Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, quoted live to your ZIP. Get a freight number with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm lead time and offload requirements. A tank this tall and heavy typically needs equipment on site to receive it, so plan your unload before it rolls.
