The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black polyethylene tank built to ASTM with a 1.4 specific gravity rating, sized for high-volume water storage where a tall, stable footprint matters. It stands 88 inches tall on a 90 by 90 inch base, and the black resin helps limit light penetration and algae growth in outdoor water service.
Will it work for your site?
At full capacity this vertical storage tank holds roughly 16,680 pounds of water, and its 1.4 SG rating allows contents weighing up to about 23,352 pounds. That headroom above plain water is why the specific gravity rating matters: it tells you the tank wall is rated for denser liquids, not just the water weight. Confirm the 90 by 90 inch footprint and 88 inch height clear your doorways, gates, and overhead obstructions before ordering, and check the outlet and fitting layout on the technical drawing on this page against your plumbing plan. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your daily draw and refill cycle. If you are weighing brands at this size, our Snyder vs Norwesco vs Chem-Tainer 2000 gallon comparison lays out the differences.
Foundation and installation
A vertical tank this size needs a level, fully supporting pad rated for its loaded weight. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the base carries the full 23,352 pound rated load without settling or point stress. For rural fire-protection reservoirs, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate service.
The mistake to avoid
Do not read the 1.4 SG rating as permission to store any liquid. This is a water-service storage tank; denser or aggressive liquids require you to verify chemical compatibility first, and to plan proper freeboard for thermal expansion. The freeboard sizing guide per ASTM D1998 explains why the volume you can safely use is less than the nameplate capacity. Match the rating to your actual contents before filling.
