The Snyder Industries 1500 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a 1,500-gallon natural white polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and high-density liquid storage. It stands 72 inches tall on an 86 x 86 inch footprint, and the "heavy duty" designation comes from its 1.9 specific gravity rating - the resin and wall thickness are engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water, where a standard 1.0 or 1.5 SG vertical tank would not be rated for the load. This 1.9 SG unit is the heavy-duty upgrade over a standard-wall 1500-gallon vertical: for pure water it gives you a large safety margin, and for dense liquids like brine or liquid fertilizer it is the spec that lets this tank do work a lighter vertical can't.
Will it work for your site?
Plan around two weights. Filled with water at 1,500 gallons, the tank carries roughly 12,510 lb of contents; loaded to its maximum rated 1.9 SG, it carries up to 23,769 lb. Size your pad and foundation to the heavier of the two numbers you actually expect to store. The 86 x 86 inch footprint is what your concrete pad or compacted base has to support across its full 86 x 86 footprint - an above-ground polyethylene tank needs continuous, level, full-bottom support, not point loads or a ring footing. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for getting that base right, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 1,500 gallons is the volume your draw rate and refill schedule actually need.
How it ships
This is an LTL freight item. It ships from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, and freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP - there is no flat "delivered" price because LTL cost depends on distance, accessorial services, and your site access. Use the Freight Cost Estimator for a delivery quote to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 to lock in the details. Because this is a 72-inch-tall vertical tank, confirm your receiving setup ahead of delivery: most LTL deliveries are tailgate only, so plan for a forklift, loader, or other equipment to take a tank of this size off the truck.
The mistake to avoid
Don't under-build the foundation by sizing it for water alone if you plan to store anything heavier. The 1.9 SG rating is the headroom for dense liquids, but the pad, anchoring, and any containment still have to carry the real loaded weight - up to 23,769 lb at full rating. This listing does not carry a published fitting schedule, so check the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and exact dimensions before you pour, and confirm the outlet and overflow size and type from that drawing before you order any mating gaskets or bulkhead fittings. Verify those positions line up with your plumbing while the pad layout is still on paper. If this tank is going into a fire-protection or rural water-reserve role, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and if you're tying multiple sources together, the water reuse tank topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation.

Before you finalize venting on a sealed installation, the atmospheric vent capacity guide works through API 2000 inbreathing and outbreathing sizing for 1,500-gallon and larger verticals.
