The Snyder Industries 2000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank is a single-wall high density linear polyethylene bulk reservoir for water and compatible liquids, molded in white HDLPE with an 88-inch overall height standing on a 90-inch round footprint. Carried full of water it holds roughly 16,680 lb of contents, and because the shell is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity it is engineered to carry up to 25,020 lb of contents at that maximum density - the structural headroom that separates a tank sized for water from one that quietly fails on a heavier liquid. If you are searching for a 2000 gallon HDPE vertical storage tank for bulk water service, this Snyder vertical tank is built to ASTM standards for exactly that duty.
Will this 2000 gallon vertical work for your site
Plan the pad first. The 90 x 90 inch footprint sets the slab dimension, and the 88-inch height plus your fittings and any vent stack sets the clearance you need under a roof or canopy. The 16,680 lb full-water weight is the load your foundation carries day to day; a vertical of this size needs a level, continuously supported concrete pad that extends to the full base diameter, with no point loads under the base. Plan your draw-down against working volume, not the 2000 gallon nameplate - you never fill to the manway lip, so there is usable freeboard above the top fitting line to account for. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this capacity against your draw rate and refill schedule, and our Snyder freeboard sizing guide to set the real volume you can actually use, before you commit the pad. One more geometry note: an 88-inch tall poly vertical is light when empty, so evaluate hold-down - anchor lugs or a banding/cable restraint per local wind and seismic code - rather than relying on the empty tank to stay put.
Fittings and access
This Snyder vertical comes configured with a flange outlet, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented inlet at the top, and a manway with 15-inch access for entry and internal inspection. Order your mating hardware off the technical drawing on this page: the flange outlet lands on a matching bolt circle and needs a companion/backing flange plus a gasket - EPDM is the standard choice for water service - while the 18-inch PE-threaded inlet mates to a coarse molded poly thread, not NPT, so don't bring an NPT bushing to it. The vented connection matters as much as the seal: an atmospheric polyethylene tank must breathe freely as it fills and drains, and an undersized or blocked vent is one of the more common ways operators damage a tank. Confirm the vent geometry and the rest of the connection layout against the drawing before ordering. For the math behind sizing that vent for thermal in-breathing and pumped fill rates, see our worked-example guide on atmospheric vent capacity calculations for polyethylene verticals.
The mistake to avoid on this tank
The 1.5 specific gravity rating is a ceiling, not a license. It means the wall is built thick enough to hold a liquid up to one and a half times the weight of water - so for plain water you are using only about 67% of the rated structural load, leaving roughly 8,340 lb of contents-weight headroom before you reach the 1.5 ceiling. That is ample margin for water, and it is the real reason to buy this shell over a water-only 1.0 to 1.35 SG tank if you might ever store a denser compatible liquid. Just remember that margin gets consumed as the stored liquid gets heavier. If you do move toward the density ceiling with a dense liquid, the wall section that governs is at the top - read our breakdown of HDPE tank wall thickness and the ASTM D1998 sizing logic before you do. For fire-water and reserve-supply duty, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection for a vertical tank of this size.
This 2000 gallon HDPE vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas. At a 90-inch (7.5 ft) diameter this is an oversized load, so a liftgate will not handle it - arrange a forklift and confirm flatbed site access and your offload equipment before the truck arrives. Because LTL cost depends entirely on the destination, freight is quoted live to your ZIP - run your address through the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 to lock in a delivered timeline. List price here is before freight.
