The Snyder Industries 130 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank built to ASTM standards for demanding above-ground water and liquid storage. It stands 51 inches tall on a compact 29 x 29 inch base (51"H x 29"W x 29"L), holding 130 gallons where floor space is tight but you still need meaningful capacity. The wall molds in natural white, and that translucency lets you gauge the approximate liquid level without opening the tank.
Will this tank work for your job?
Two numbers decide most installs. A full charge of water in this tank weighs roughly 1,084 pounds, but the XLPE wall carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water, with a maximum rated contents weight near 2,060 pounds. Size your pad or platform for that 2,060 lb worst case rather than the water figure, so a heavier liquid never overloads the base. The vertical, self-supporting shape puts the entire load straight down onto the 29 x 29 inch footprint. If you are unsure the 130 gallon size matches your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
XLPE versus HDPE, and the mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank like this is treating the resin as interchangeable with standard linear HDPE. It is not. Crosslinked polyethylene is chosen when density or long-term wall integrity is a factor, which is why this heavy-duty unit sits at the top of the specific-gravity band. Our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE walks through exactly when crosslinking earns its keep. For fitting locations and mounting details, see the technical drawing on this page rather than assuming from the outer measurements.
Mounting and support
Above-ground poly tanks want continuous, level support under the full base. If this Snyder XLPE tank sits on a concrete pad, size the pad for the loaded weight and the footprint instead of eyeballing it; our concrete pad sizing guide lays out the framework. Where this vertical storage tank feeds a rural water supply or fire-water reservoir, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection.
