The Snyder Industries 1500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a tall HDPE vessel for bulk water and liquid storage where vertical footprint matters more than floor space. It holds 1,500 gallons in a 60-inch diameter footprint and stands 137 inches tall, so it stores serious volume on a compact 60 x 60 inch pad. The tank is molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene in opaque white and carries an ASTM build rating, making it a straightforward choice for vertical storage tank duty on farms, job sites, and facilities that need reliable water capacity in a small ground footprint.
Will it work for your site
Check three numbers before you commit: footprint, height, and loaded weight. This Snyder vertical tank occupies a 60.0 x 60.0 inch footprint and rises 137 inches, so confirm your overhead clearance and your fill access at that height before delivery. Filled with water, the tank and contents weigh about 12,510 pounds, and the pad it sits on has to carry that load without settling. The tank is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which means it is built to hold contents up to roughly 23,769 pounds at full rated capacity. For plain water at 1.0 specific gravity, that 1.9 wall rating is generous headroom, so a buyer who later moves to a denser liquid has room to grow on this same unit, provided the resin, fitting, and gasket materials are first confirmed against that specific chemistry. If you are unsure whether 1,500 gallons in this tall vertical format is right for your application, run the numbers in our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide before ordering.
Build, wall design, and fittings
This is a High Density Linear Polyethylene tank, and the wall thickness is engineered to the ASTM D1998 sizing logic that governs how much material has to sit at each elevation of a vertical tank. The vapor-saturated headspace above the liquid line is a real-world weak point on tall HDPE tanks, and it is worth understanding before you spec a unit you expect to last. Our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace walks through where premature failures originate and why liquid-side inspection alone misses them; the concrete takeaway is to confirm the tank is vented for your actual fill and draw rate, not just for storage at rest. For fitting placement and dimensional detail, see the technical drawing on this page. Specific outlet, inlet, and vent thread sizes and gasket materials are not published in this listing, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm fitting sizes and gasket material before you order if your plumbing depends on a particular connection.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a tank this tall is treating it like a short tank on the foundation side. This is the taller 137-inch variant of the 1,500 gallon vertical class, not the 116-inch or 93-inch configurations, so verify against the right height before you build. At 137 inches the loaded center of gravity is high, and an unlevel or under-built pad will let the tank rock and stress the lower wall. Pour or verify a level, full-diameter pad rated for the loaded weight before delivery, and plan your fill plumbing for the height. Do not assume the 1.9 specific gravity rating by itself clears heavier-than-water chemistry; for water service it is a non-issue, but the rating is a wall-strength spec, not a chemical-compatibility clearance. For more on this exact capacity in vertical form, the buyer's guides for the 93 x 60 configuration and the 64 x 116 configuration cover the trade-offs between footprint and height.
