The Snyder Industries 10500 gallon vertical liquid storage tank is a stationary, high-volume reservoir built for sites that need serious bulk water capacity in a single footprint. It molds from High Density Linear Polyethylene in white, stands 177 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch base, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water without being pushed past its design limit. If you are searching for a white vertical storage tank at the top of the size range, this is one of the largest single-piece vertical tanks Snyder builds.
Will this vertical storage tank work for my site?
With a tank this large, the first questions are footprint, headroom, and what the full load weighs. Plan a 143 x 143 inch (roughly 12 x 12 foot) pad and at least 177 inches of vertical clearance, plus room to land fittings and run plumbing. Filled with water the tank carries about 87,570 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it is built to hold up to 131,355 pounds of liquid. Those numbers drive your pad design: a tank this size demands a level, engineered concrete foundation rated for the full contents weight, not gravel or compacted soil. Run the load through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the size fits your draw and refill cycle before you pour. If a 10,500 gallon vertical is more capacity than you need, the 2000 gallon and 500 gallon vertical buyer's guides walk through the same planning at smaller sizes.
Where it ships from and how freight works
This Snyder white vertical storage tank ships from the Chowchilla, California plant by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code, because the cost depends heavily on distance from California and your site's offloading situation. The 143 x 143 inch footprint and 177 inch height mean this tank moves and sets empty by crane or heavy equipment, so confirm your delivery access, overhead clearance, and offload plan for a load of this height and weight before you order. See the technical drawing on this page for the dimensional detail your installer will need.
The mistake to avoid
The expensive error on a tank this large is matching the specific gravity to a denser liquid you have not verified. This tank is rated for 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water and most water-based fluids comfortably. If you are storing anything heavier than water, confirm your liquid's specific gravity stays at or below 1.5, and never load past the 131,355 pound rated contents weight. The second common miss is the foundation: an undersized or unlevel pad under nearly 88,000 pounds of water leads to stress cracking and tank failure, so the pad is not the place to economize. The third is venting and freeze protection — a tank this tall needs an adequately sized atmospheric vent so it does not deform during rapid fill or draw, and in cold-climate or fire-water service freeze protection is a real planning item. Fitting and outlet configuration is confirmed at order, so call 866-418-1777 to spec your bulkhead, outlet size, and gasket before you buy.
Whether you are sizing a vertical tank for bulk water, agricultural supply, or a fire-water reservoir, this 10500 gallon Snyder unit gives you maximum capacity per pad. Dig into the 10500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide for full planning detail, or the fire-water reservoir design guide for NFPA 22 sizing and freeze-protection detail if this is for private fire protection.
