The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank is a heavy-duty black vertical storage tank molded from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. It stands 53 inches tall on a compact 36 x 36 inch footprint, so it fits tight equipment pads and corners where a wider vertical tank will not. The 1.9 SG rating is durability headroom: this 200 gallon tank is built with structural margin well beyond the weight of plain water, which is why it earns the heavy-duty designation.

Will it work for your site?
Full of water, the tank and contents weigh about 1,668 lb; at its maximum rated 1.9 SG contents that climbs to roughly 3,169 lb. Plan your pad and support for the loaded weight, not the empty shell. A 53 inch column of dense liquid concentrated on a 36 inch square footprint needs a level, continuous, load-rated base — a soft or uneven pad is the single most common way a tall vertical tank like this fails. Our concrete pad sizing framework lays out the engineering, and you can run your volume and footprint math through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For rural or remote water-storage and fire-reserve installs, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection.
Why crosslinked polyethylene matters
XLPE is not the same material as standard HDPE. Crosslinking bonds the polymer chains together, producing a wall with greater environmental stress-crack resistance and impact toughness than a comparable linear tank. If you are weighing the two, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters walks through where that difference earns its keep. This is a single-wall vertical storage tank; if your project calls for secondary containment, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide covers that path. One mistake to avoid: do not treat the 1.9 SG number as a target. It is the tank's structural ceiling, not a fill instruction — size everything to the actual product you are storing.
This 200 gallon vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Merced, California, quoted live to your ZIP. Because it originates on the West Coast, buyers further east should expect a longer LTL lane — get an exact number in seconds with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it by phone.
