The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a vertical storage tank built for above-ground water and general liquid storage where a compact 30-inch square footprint matters. It stands 59 inches tall on a 30 by 30 inch base, holds 150 gallons, and is molded from black polyethylene rated to a 1.9 specific gravity - a heavy-duty rating that gives you real margin over plain water and lets the same tank hold denser liquids without stressing the wall. It ships LTL from a single Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, with freight quoted live to your ZIP, so set delivery expectations early if you are shipping cross-country.
Will it work for your site?
This is a straight vertical storage tank: 59 in tall, 30 in wide, 30 in long, 150 gallons. Because it is molded to a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the wall is thicker than a 1.0 or 1.5 water-only tank of the same size, so it carries a comfortable safety margin. Practically, the 1.9 rating means the 150 gallons of usable volume tops out around 2,377 lb of contents - any liquid up to roughly 1.9 times the density of water is within the tank's rating, so you can self-qualify your fluid without guesswork. Full of water it weighs about 1,251 lb. On a slab-on-grade install the 30 by 30 inch footprint sits flat and needs no cradle. If this black vertical tank is headed into a grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate aggregation role, the guide on industrial water reuse tank topology covers quality-banded storage trains and staging.

Foundation and support
A 150-gallon storage tank at full weight puts real load on whatever it stands on. For an above-ground pad, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the base carries the full 2,377 lb rated load. If this tank is going into a rural fire-water or remote reservoir role, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
One mistake to avoid
Do not size your foundation, stand, or lifting plan off the 1,251 lb full-water weight. That number only covers water at a 1.0 specific gravity. This tank is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, meaning it can legitimately hold up to 2,377 lb of contents - and if you plan to store anything denser than water, that heavier figure is the one your platform and anchoring must be engineered around. Confirm the actual weight of your stored liquid and design to the rated maximum, not the water minimum.
