The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Horizontal Leg Tank is a black polyethylene haul tank built to carry heavy liquid down the road and stay supported while it does. The cradle legs and securing hoops let you band it to a skid or trailer deck so the load does not shift in transit, which is the whole point of a horizontal leg design over a free-standing vertical. It holds 2,000 gallons, measures 142 inches long by 84 inches wide and stands 55 inches tall, giving you an 84.0 x 142.0 inch footprint to plan your trailer or pad around. At 84 in wide, confirm your trailer or skid deck clears that width before you worry about the 142 in length. If you are weighing capacity against your trailer rating or pump throughput, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Will it handle your load
This tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what makes it a true haul tank rather than a water-only vessel. Full of water it weighs about 16,680 lb, and at its maximum rated contents it is engineered to carry up to 31,692 lb of liquid weight (2,000 gal x 8.34 lb/gal x 1.9 SG). That 1.9 SG headroom is why this shell is rated for dense agricultural and chemical loads, not just the 8.34 lb-per-gallon of plain water, and 1.9 SG is at the top of the polyethylene range, so anything denser needs engineering review rather than a heavier stock tank. Molded fitting and outlet sizes are not published in our data for this SKU, so confirm them against the technical drawing on this page or call us before you spec your plumbing, since horizontal leg and applicator tanks vary by mold. For DOT classification and roadability questions on farm hauling, our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and portable utility tank DOT classification under 49 CFR 173.5 walk through the 49 CFR scope.
Chemical compatibility
This is a polyethylene tank with a 1.9 specific gravity rating. The resin family is not confirmed in our data, so before any chemical service confirm whether your tank is HDLPE or XLPE with us at 866-418-1777, because resin family changes what it can hold. Compatibility is always concentration- and temperature-specific, so verify your exact conditions against the OEM chemical-resistance chart. Within the 1.9 SG envelope this shell supports a wide chemical range on standard plastic hardware, including Acetic Acid (60%) with PP/PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets, Aluminum Sulfate (50%), Calcium Chloride (40%), Ethylene Glycol (100%), Ferric Chloride (50%), Ferric Sulfate (60%), Ferrous Sulfate (20%), Magnesium Chloride (30%), Polyaluminum Chloride, Potassium Carbonate (50%), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated), Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Carbonate (30%), Sodium Thiosulfate (40%), and Urea Solution (50%). Aggressive acids, oxidizers, and a few others carry tighter material rules: Phosphoric Acid (85%), Hydrochloric Acid (37%), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%), Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%), and Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) want Viton gaskets, Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%) wants PVC with Viton, and Sulfuric Acid (98%) wants CPVC with Viton. A handful demand metal hardware instead of plastic: DEF (32.5%) and Peracetic Acid (30%) run on 316SS fittings (DEF with EPDM, peracetic with Aflas), Propylene Glycol and Zinc Orthophosphate on PP or 316SS with EPDM. Ozonated water up to 10 PPM runs on PVC with EPDM. See the full chemical compatibility reference, and match every fitting and gasket material to your chemical before filling.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a haul tank this size is matching the fitting and gasket to the tank instead of to the chemical. The polyethylene shell tolerates the chemicals above, but an EPDM gasket on a sodium hypochlorite or sulfuric acid line will fail even though the tank is fine, so spec Viton or CPVC where the chart calls for it, and budget for 316SS hardware on DEF or peracetic acid rather than the cheaper PVC default. The second mistake is loading a dense product without checking the 1.9 SG and the 31,692 lb max rated contents against your trailer and axle ratings. For blended fertilizer specifically, our guide on fertilizer-blend tank stratification covers density layering, and for secondary containment on stationary chemical storage see Snyder Captor double-wall tanks and SPCC 40 CFR 112.
