The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a molded high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vessel built for bulk water and liquid storage. It holds a full 2,000 gallons and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the tank wall is rated to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water. That is real headroom: this is the vertical storage tank to choose if you may later store a denser liquid up to 1.9 SG, since you buy the wall strength once instead of re-buying a heavier tank down the road. Confirm the final height and base dimensions against the technical drawing on this page before you commit to a doorway or pad layout.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water this tank weighs roughly 16,680 lb, and at its maximum rated content density it can carry up to 31,692 lb. Size your concrete pad and grade for the loaded weight, not the empty shell, since the base concentrates real tonnage on the slab. If you are still working out how a 2000 gallon vertical fits your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide. For above-ground installs, the concrete pad sizing framework walks through the reference points for a tank this heavy, and the Snyder freeboard and ASTM D1998 sizing guide explains rated versus actual usable volume so you plan around the real capacity. For rural fire-water storage, a common use for a black vertical this size, see our NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir design guide.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows the molded fitting layout: a flange outlet, an 18 inch PE threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15 inch access for interior inspection and cleaning. The flange outlet and manway seal on gaskets, so confirm the gasket material suits your liquid and temperature before filling. Check the outlet location and vent orientation against the drawing before you plumb, since the vented lid must stay clear to let the tank breathe as it fills and drains. The black exterior helps limit light transmission and algae growth, one reason black verticals are a common choice for water that sits in storage for extended periods.
Freight and how it ships
This Snyder 2000 gallon vertical tank ships by LTL freight from the Chowchilla, California plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because it ships from a single California origin, freight varies sharply by destination, so the listed price does not include freight. Use our Freight Cost Estimator for a freight estimate to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it by hand. Comparing brands at this size?
