The Snyder Industries 125 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank is a white polyethylene horizontal leg tank built for hauling and field transfer, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity so it carries dense, heavier-than-water liquids. It measures 49 inches long by 30 inches wide by 35 inches tall, putting a 30.0 x 49.0 inch footprint on the deck or skid. Empty-to-full, plain water adds about 1,042 pounds, and the tank is engineered to carry up to 1,981 pounds of rated contents - the number that matters when you load fertilizer, brine, or a heavier-than-water chemical.
Does it work for your application
The integrated molded legs let this Snyder horizontal tank sit flat and stable on a trailer or pickup bed without a separate cradle, which is why it is a workhorse for mobile fertilizer and water hauling. Use the rated 1,981-pound contents figure rather than the 1,042-pound water figure when you spec the trailer and tie-downs - at 1.9 SG the liquid weight, not the gallon count, governs what you can legally and safely move. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and leg geometry. If you are matching this 125 gallon body to a load and trailer, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Chemical compatibility
This is a molded polyethylene tank rated to a 1.9 specific gravity - already a ceiling-grade rating, which is exactly what lets it carry dense chemistries like ferric chloride, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid. For those services this is the heavy-duty option, not a tank that needs upgrading. One note before you order for chemical service: the resin is listed as HDLPE but not yet confirmed, so confirm HDLPE versus crosslinked (XLPE) construction with us at 866-418-1777, since the two resins resist different chemicals. Always match the chemical to the OEM chemical-resistance chart at the stated concentration and your service temperature, and pair the correct fitting and gasket material below.

Concentration and temperature change the answer, so verify your exact service conditions against the OEM chemical-resistance chart and our full chemical compatibility reference before ordering.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a 1.9-SG haul tank is treating gallons as the limit. At full load this body can hold nearly 2,000 pounds of dense chemistry, and that weight - plus the HDLPE-versus-XLPE resin confirmation - decides both your trailer rating and your chemical choice. For aggressive chemistries like sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and peracetic acid, the fitting and gasket material listed (CPVC, Viton, Aflas, 316SS) is not optional. Read our walkthrough on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and DOT classification for farm fleet use if you are running it on a non-roadable trailer.
