The Snyder Industries 130 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a natural white vertical storage tank that stands 51 inches tall on a compact 29 x 29 inch square footprint. If you are shopping vertical storage tanks and need real water capacity without a wide floor plan, this Snyder vertical sits in the sweet spot: 130 usable gallons, a heavy-duty polyethylene wall, and a 1.9 specific gravity rating that gives you real headroom above plain water. Height 51 in, footprint 29 x 29 in, full water weight roughly 1,084 lb, rated to about 2,060 lb of contents.
Will it hold what you need?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 1,084 pounds, and its structure is rated to a maximum contents weight of about 2,060 pounds. Those two numbers are the same envelope seen two ways: 130 gallons at 1.9 specific gravity times 8.34 pounds per gallon works out to about 2,060 pounds, which is exactly the rated ceiling. In plain terms, the 1.9 rating means the tank body is built to carry liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, so 130 gallons of a denser fluid stays inside the design envelope. For plain water and general storage you have a wide margin. If you are matching this tank to a specific volume or run, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through capacity, footprint, and fill weight before you commit.
Footprint, siting, and headroom
The 29 x 29 inch footprint makes this a good fit where floor or pad space is tight but you still want triple-digit gallons. Set it on a flat, fully supported surface sized to carry the full 2,060-pound rated load. For an above-ground install on a slab, our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI framework so your pad supports the tank evenly and does not crack under a point load. When you are planning how high to fill, the freeboard discussion in the Snyder freeboard sizing guide (ASTM D1998) explains how thermal expansion and density set the real usable volume above plain water.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a vertical storage tank is siting a full tank on an uneven or undersized base. A full tank concentrates its entire filled weight on that 29 x 29 footprint, and any rock, void, or soft spot under the pad becomes a stress riser in the tank floor. Confirm your surface is level and continuous before the first fill. If this white vertical storage tank is headed into cold-climate or fire-reserve duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers freeze protection and reserve sizing for remote sites. Feeding a grey-water, rainwater, or condensate reuse train? The industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows where a tank this size fits in a quality-banded storage layout.
