The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a natural-white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and general liquid storage. It stands a low 55 inches tall on a wide 86-by-86-inch base, holds a rated 1,100 gallons, and carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating - meaning the tank is engineered to hold contents substantially heavier than water. That low, stable profile puts the center of gravity down where you want it: good for low-clearance buildings and windy, exposed sites. For plain water at 1.0 SG, the heavy-duty 1.9 rating is pure margin working in your favor.
Will it work for your site?
Match the tank to both the volume and the weight it will carry. Filled with water, this tank holds roughly 9,174 pounds of contents; at its maximum rated 1.9 SG it is engineered for up to 17,431 pounds - that is 8,257 pounds of reserve capacity over a full water load. Spread across the 86 x 86 inch base (about 7,396 square inches), full water works out to roughly 1.24 psi of bearing pressure, a number you can hand straight to whoever pours your pad. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 1,100-gallon size fits your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit. Because this is a 1.9 SG heavy-duty unit, our Snyder freeboard and ASTM D1998 sizing guide explains how specific gravity and freeboard set the real, usable volume. If this feeds rural fire-protection storage, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection.
Foundation and installation
A vertical storage tank this size transfers its entire load through the flat bottom, so the base has to fully support all 7,396 square inches. Our concrete pad sizing guide lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks. Confirm the inlet, outlet, and vent configuration and gasket specs for your ZIP and shipping plant before you order - call 866-418-1777 and we will verify the fitting layout for this tank rather than guess it.
The mistake to avoid
Don't size the foundation to the empty tank. What governs the install is the filled weight, not the shipping weight - build the pad and anchoring to the full-water load from day one. If you are weighing white vertical storage tanks for water reuse, our water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation.
