The Snyder Industries 120 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene vertical storage tank built for stationary water and heavy-duty liquid service. It holds 120 gallons in a compact 34-inch square footprint and stands 51 inches tall, so it fits into pump houses, utility rooms, and equipment skids where floor space is tight. This unit ships from a single Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, so you can gut-check LTL transit to your ZIP before you commit. The natural white translucent wall lets you read the liquid level at a glance without opening the tank.
Will it work for your setup
This vertical tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered for contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water. Filled with water, expect roughly 1,001 pounds of contents; at the full 1.9 rating the tank is rated for up to about 1,902 pounds. Size your pad and anchoring for the heaviest liquid you plan to store. The 34.0 x 34.0 inch base gives a stable, low center of gravity for a tank this height. Fittings shown on the technical drawing include a flange, a 14-inch polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with an 11-3/8 inch access opening for cleaning and inspection. One caution: the flange size and the gasket or bulkhead sealing hardware are not listed on this record, so confirm those against the technical drawing on this page and specify gasket material (for example EPDM or Viton) to match your liquid. Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your demand.
Why XLPE over standard HDPE
The whole reason to pay for crosslinked polyethylene is that roughly 900-pound spread between 1,001 pounds full of water and about 1,902 pounds at the 1.9 rating. XLPE has a bonded molecular structure that resists cracking and stress fatigue better than standard high-density polyethylene, which is why Snyder builds this heavy-duty line in a crosslinked wall rather than plain HDPE. If you are weighing the two for your duty, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters walks through where the crosslinked wall earns its keep. For above-ground installs, size a proper foundation using the framework in our concrete pad sizing guide.
The mistake to avoid
Do not under-anchor a tall, narrow tank. At 51 inches on a 34-inch base, a full tank sits high, and wind or bumping can matter more than on a squat tank. Set it on a level, full-support pad and anchor per your local code, especially where the tank sits exposed in rural or utility storage applications.
