The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk-water vessel built for serious capacity: 2000 gallons inside an 88-inch-tall body on a 90 x 90-inch footprint. The "Heavy Duty" designation comes from its 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the wall is engineered to hold contents substantially heavier than water without compromise. For ranch water storage, rural fire reserves, irrigation supply, and industrial process water, this is one of the workhorse sizes people search for when they look up a vertical storage tank in the 2000 gallon class.
Will it work for your site?
Confirm three things before you commit. First, footprint: this tank needs a level 90 x 90-inch pad, and for an above-ground poly tank this size the pad matters as much as the tank, so review our concrete pad sizing framework before you pour. Second, weight, both empty and full: the bare polyethylene shell ships light and is craned or rolled into position empty, so rig your access to the empty tank, but design your foundation to the full load. Filled with water this tank carries roughly 16,680 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating it is engineered to hold up to 31,692 pounds. Third, capacity fit: if you are sizing for fire-water reserve or general storage, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide so you land on the right volume the first time.
Specifications that matter
Capacity is 2000 gallons. The body stands 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90-inch footprint. The tank is molded in Natural White polyethylene. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the headline number: it is structural headroom well above the 1.0 of plain water, sizing the wall and the worst-case load for dense water-adjacent contents rather than serving as a chemical-resistance statement. For the inlet, outlet, and fitting layout, check the technical drawing on this page; the fitting and gasket configuration is not yet confirmed in our spec data, so verify the exact callouts against that drawing before you finalize plumbing.
The mistake to avoid
Do not assume the gallon figure alone tells you what the pad needs to carry. The specific gravity rating, not the water weight, sets your worst-case load. A tank rated to 1.9 specific gravity can legitimately hold contents approaching 31,692 pounds, and a pad poured for water-only weight will be undersized for that service. Match your foundation to the rated load, not the convenient one. If this tank will feed a private fire-protection system, the reservoir sizing discipline is its own subject worth getting right, covered in our fire-water reservoir tank design guide.
