The Snyder Industries 1550 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical tank built for serious water and high-density liquid duty, carrying a 1.5 specific gravity rating. At 64 inches in diameter and 124 inches tall, it holds 1,550 gallons on a compact 64.0 x 64.0 footprint, putting real volume on the slab without sprawl. It ships from three Snyder plants, so most of the country gets a shorter LTL lane and a lower freight number.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your application?
Filled with water, this tank carries 12,927 pounds of contents, and its 1.5 specific gravity rating means the wall and structure are engineered to safely hold liquids up to a maximum rated contents weight of 19,390 pounds. That headroom above plain water is the entire point of the 1.5 SG rating: it lets you run heavier-than-water liquids without exceeding the tank's design. If you are matching your volume and liquid density to this body, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math for a vertical HDPE tank like this one. Fitting configuration on a vertical storage tank of this size varies by build, so confirm your outlet, vent, and lid plan against the technical drawing on this page, and call 866-418-1777 if you need the exact schedule before you finalize plumbing.
Mistakes to avoid on a 1.5 SG vertical tank
The most common error on a tank in this class is treating the specific gravity rating as a suggestion. The 19,390-pound maximum rated contents figure is a hard ceiling, not a target. If your liquid is denser than 1.5, this is not the right body and you should step up to a higher-SG vertical unit rather than push this one past its design. The second mistake is the foundation: a tank this tall puts roughly 13,000 pounds of water over a 64-inch circle, so it needs a level, full-contact concrete pad rated for the loaded weight. Empty-tank stability and full-tank stability are two different problems. For how the wall behaves at the top of an HDPE tank, our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace explains where premature failures actually originate and the ASTM D1998 sizing logic operators should understand.
Sizing and design references
This 1550 gallon vertical liquid storage tank is a workhorse for water and rainwater storage. If you are spec'ing it for fire protection, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites. For a wider read on this vertical liquid storage size, the 1550 gallon vertical liquid storage tank buyer's guide covers the broader sizing picture; check the dimensions on this page against your install, since body geometry differs across the 1550-gallon class.
