The Snyder Industries 15,000-gallon black vertical storage tank (part number 5370000C37-BLACK) is a large-footprint polyethylene bulk-water vessel built for high-volume storage where a single tank has to hold the entire reserve. It stands 234 inches tall on a 142 x 142-inch footprint, so it needs a level, engineered pad and real overhead clearance before it ever leaves the plant. This is a serious industrial storage tank, and the numbers below decide whether it fits your site and how you get it there.
Will it work on your site?
Capacity is 15,000 gallons of water in a molded polyethylene vertical tank rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, which means the wall is built to carry contents heavier than plain water. Core specs: 15,000-gallon capacity, black color, 234 in tall, 142 x 142 in footprint. Plan your foundation around the loaded weight, not the empty shell: filled with water this tank carries roughly 125,100 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach about 187,650 pounds. That load rides on a 142 x 142-inch footprint, so pad design and soil bearing are the first things to confirm. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to check volume against your draw rate, and read our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks before you pour. For fire-reserve and rural water reservoir duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into one reserve, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers how a bulk vertical tank fits that train.
The mistake to avoid
The number people get wrong on a tank this size is the loaded weight. A 15,000-gallon vertical tank is not a "set it on gravel" install; sizing the pad off the empty tank instead of the 125,100-pound water load (or the 187,650-pound rated load) is how foundations crack and tanks go out of round. Fitting and outlet configuration on this SKU is quoted per order and not yet published here, so confirm your outlet locations with us before you set anchors or plumb it in, since fitting placement on a tank this tall drives your pump and valve layout.
Freight
This vertical storage tank ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, NE, freighted as a single large unit and quoted live to your ZIP. Because of its height and footprint it moves as an oversized load, so get a real number early with the Freight Cost Estimator or call us at 866-418-1777 and reference part number 5370000C37-BLACK. We will confirm delivery access, unload requirements, and lead time before the order ships.
