The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built to ASTM certification, standing 59 inches tall on a compact 30 x 30 inch footprint. It is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is the headroom that separates a tank you can grow into from one you outgrow on the first chemistry change. This page answers the three questions that actually decide the purchase: whether it fits your job, what it costs to ship, and the one detail people get wrong on a vertical tank like this.
Capacity: 150 gallons · Footprint: 30 x 30 in · Height: 59 in · Weight: 1,251 lb water-filled / 2,377 lb at the 1.9 SG rating · Ships from: Philippi, WV · Freight: LTL, quoted live to your ZIP
Will it work for your application
At 150 gallons in a 30 x 30 inch footprint and 59 inches of height, this vertical storage tank fits tight pump houses, equipment skids, and trailer corners where a wider tank will not. Filled with water it carries 1,251 pounds, so plan a level, fully supported pad rated for that load - and check it against your pump or fill schedule with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number that matters most here: the wall is engineered to safely hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water, which works out to a maximum rated contents weight of 2,377 pounds. That gives this HDPE vertical tank real range for denser liquids, not just water - though you should always confirm chemical compatibility for your specific liquid before service.
Reading the drawing and the ASTM basis
This is a vertical HDPE tank manufactured to ASTM certification, and the wall is sized around the contents' specific gravity in the standard way polyethylene tanks are engineered. Confirm all fittings, outlets, and port positions against the technical drawing on this page and your own manifold before plumbing anything in - we don't publish fitting placement we haven't verified for this SKU, so treat the drawing as the authority and check it against your layout rather than assuming standard placement. If you want the engineering behind why these tanks are sized the way they are, our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic walks through where premature failures originate at the vapor-saturated headspace and why liquid-side inspection misses them.
The mistake to avoid
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is generous, but it is not a license to skip the math. People buy a vertical storage tank rated to 1.9, fill it to the brim with a dense liquid, and discover the pad - not the tank - was the weak link at 2,377 pounds of rated contents. Size the foundation to the loaded weight, not the empty tank. And if this 150 gallon tank is destined for fire-water reservoir or rural storage duty, the sizing discipline is different again - our fire-water reservoir design guide covers the NFPA 22 and freeze-protection considerations for cold-climate sites.
