The Snyder Industries 130 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a Natural White polyethylene vertical storage tank built for above-ground bulk water holding where a compact footprint matters. It stands 49 inches tall on a 29 x 29 inch base, so it fits through standard aisles and into tight equipment rooms, sheds, and trailer bays while still carrying a useful 130 gallons.
Will it work for your site?
This is a heavy-duty wall rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, well above the 1.0 to 1.5 rating common on basic water tanks. For a buyer that headroom is real versatility: the same 130-gallon footprint that stores water today is engineered to hold denser liquids later without buying a second tank. Filled with water, 130 gallons weighs about 1,084 pounds, so size your pad and anchoring around that ~1,084 lb loaded water weight. The 2,060 lb figure is the structural ceiling at the full 1.9 SG rating, not your water weight, so there is no need to over-spec the pad for plain water service. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this vertical tank matches your daily draw and refill cycle, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks through supporting the full water load correctly.
Fittings and setup
Refer to the technical drawing on this page for the outlet and fitting layout before you plumb the tank, and confirm the bulkhead and lid arrangement against your intended inlet and discharge points. Fitting and gasket details are confirmed on that drawing or by phone at 866-418-1777, so verify them before ordering plumbing. For rural fire reserve or remote water supply, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and the water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation trains where a compact vertical storage tank like this fits well.
The mistake to avoid
Do not set this tank on cinder blocks, wood cross-members, or bare uneven ground. A vertical storage tank concentrates its full loaded weight straight down onto that 29 x 29 inch base, and an unsupported or point-loaded floor is the most common cause of premature wall stress. Give it a flat, fully supporting surface and it will serve for years.
