The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon Plastic Portable Pest Control Operator (PCO) tank is built for spray rigs and mobile applicator work, holding 200 gallons of liquid in a square-set 39 x 49 inch base with a 39 inch working height. Molded in white High Density Linear Polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating, it carries the full weight of agitated, water-based product without flexing past its design limit. The compact 39.0 x 49.0 inch footprint stages cleanly on a truck deck or trailer while leaving room for a pump, hose reel, and the rest of your applicator setup. This is the kind of dependable white 200 gallon Snyder tank operators reach for when payload weight, not just gallons, drives the decision.
Will it work for your rig?
Capacity is 200 gallons of usable storage. Filled with plain water the tank weighs about 1,668 pounds, and the 1.5 specific gravity rating supports a maximum rated contents weight of 2,502 pounds. Do the math on that ceiling: 2,502 pounds across 200 gallons works out to roughly 12.5 pounds per gallon, versus about 8.34 pounds per gallon for plain water. The 1.5 SG resin is rated to carry mixes up to about 1.5 times water density at full volume. That is exactly the margin a PCO applicator needs when the spray mix carries wettable powders, surfactants, or dissolved concentrate that run heavier than water. If you are still matching a capacity to your truck deck and payload, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through pairing gallons to weight and footprint.
Mounting and weight discipline
Because this is a portable tank built for the move, the loaded weight governs your setup, not the empty shell. Confirm your platform, axle rating, and strap layout against the 2,502 pound rated maximum before your first full load, and size tie-downs to that number rather than the gallon figure. Outlet size and molded fitting locations vary by build, so confirm bulkhead fittings and gaskets with us before you plumb the tank: call 866-418-1777 and we will match the right fittings and gaskets to your pump and hose layout. Refer to the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensions and molded fitting positions before you finalize plumbing or build your mounting frame.
The mistake to avoid
The trap on a PCO tank is treating the gallon number as the only spec that matters. The 1.5 specific gravity rating is what tells you how heavy a load this tank is built to carry. If your spray mix is denser than plain water, run your real product weight against the 2,502 pound rated maximum, not the 1,668 pound water figure. Underestimating loaded weight is what overloads trailer axles and strands an applicator on the shoulder. Order for your true loaded weight, not just the gallons.
