The Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a large-format white polyethylene vertical tank built to a 1.5 specific gravity rating, certified to ASTM standards, and sized for serious bulk water and liquid storage. It stands 169 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch footprint, so plan your concrete pad and overhead clearance before it arrives. As a 1.5 SG-rated vertical storage tank, it carries the wall strength to hold a full column of water with margin to spare.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with water at 8.34 pounds per gallon, this tank holds roughly 87,570 pounds of contents, and its 1.5 SG rating gives it a maximum rated contents weight of about 131,355 pounds. That headroom is what lets a water tank double as a storage vessel for heavier liquids by density alone, up to 1.5 times the density of water, as long as the contents specific gravity stays at or below the 1.5 rating. The 142 x 142 inch square footprint sets your concrete pad, and the 169 inch height is the empty-tank dimension only: your building, canopy, or fill-line opening has to clear that 169 inches PLUS the top fitting, fill plumbing, and any lifting equipment, so measure the full stack-up, not just the tank. The white HDPE shell gives you UV resistance and the ability to gauge liquid level by sight. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 10,500 gallon vertical tank matches your draw-down and refill cycle before committing to the pad.
The mistake to avoid
The number that trips operators up on a tank this size is the loaded weight, not the gallons. At roughly 87,570 pounds full of water, the foundation and ring-wall under this HDPE vertical tank have to be engineered for the load, dead level, and continuously supported, never set on uneven or point-bearing ground. Just as important: this listing does not specify outlet, manifold, or vent sizes. Those fitting and port dimensions must be confirmed from the technical drawing on this page or by calling 866-418-1777 BEFORE you order valves, gaskets, or bulkhead fittings, so you don't buy hardware that mismatches the actual ports. Confirm the contents specific gravity stays at or below the 1.5 rating, and read the ASTM D1998 sizing logic in our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace so you understand where premature wall failures actually originate.
Sizing and design resources
This vertical tank suits fire-water reservoirs, bulk water, and rural or remote site storage. Our 10500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank: Complete Buyer's Guide walks through specification top to bottom, and if this is for private fire protection, the Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. Note that 10,500 gallons is the nameplate capacity: if you store a higher-density liquid, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide explains why usable volume comes in below nameplate once thermal-expansion freeboard is reserved.
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code, from the nearest Snyder Industries plant. There are two ship points, Lincoln, NE and Philippi, WV, and freight is rated from whichever is closer to you, so eastern destinations generally pull from West Virginia and central or western destinations from Nebraska. It pays to run your address against both in our Freight Cost Estimator to see the lower delivered route, then call 866-418-1777 to lock in your freight and lead time. Want help confirming this is the right tank for your draw-down? Use the Freight Estimator for delivery cost and our sizing tools to size the install, then reach our team at 866-418-1777.
