The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 53-inch-tall white polyethylene tank built on a 36 x 36-inch square footprint, carrying ASTM D1998 certification and a 1.9 specific gravity rating that lets it hold dense liquids most standard tanks cannot. Whether you are setting up bulk water storage, a vertical storage tank for an ag or industrial site, or a rural reservoir, this 200 gallon tank covers the three things that actually decide the purchase: how it works, how it ships, and the one detail to get right before you order.
Will it work for your site
This is a vertical HDPE storage tank rated for 200 gallons in a compact 36 x 36-inch base, so it slots into tight equipment pads, pump houses, and corners where a wider tank will not fit. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number to watch: it means the wall is engineered to safely hold liquids weighing up to 1.9 times the weight of water. Filled with plain water (specific gravity 1.0), 200 gallons weighs about 1,668 pounds; at the tank's full 1.9 rating the contents can run up to roughly 3,169 pounds. That headroom is why a 1.9-rated tank is the right call over a basic water-only shell when you are not certain your liquid is exactly water-weight. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity against that 1.9 ceiling before you fill, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match the working volume to your draw rate.
Specs, fittings, and dimensions
Height runs 53 inches on a 36 x 36-inch footprint, in white polyethylene, with the tank built to the ASTM D1998 standard for HDPE upright storage. For exact outlet placement, fitting size, and dimensional callouts, see the technical drawing on this page rather than guessing from the listing photo, and confirm the fitting and gasket match your intended chemistry before you order. If you are sizing wall thickness or thinking through long-term durability, our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing logic walks through where premature failures actually originate and why liquid-side inspection misses them. For a full walkthrough of this size class, see the 200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide. For rural and remote sites, this tank can also serve as part of a private fire-water or reservoir stack; our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection.
Freight and how to order
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder Industries plant in Merced, California, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price. Because LTL cost is driven by distance and destination type, the closer you are to Merced the lower your freight runs. Get an exact number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you and walk through lead time, liftgate, and limited-access delivery options. The one mistake to avoid: ordering before you have verified your liquid's specific gravity falls at or under the 1.9 rating and confirmed the 36 x 36-inch footprint fits your pad. Get those two right and this is a tank that will hold up for years.
