The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, closed-top vertical tank molded in High Density Linear Polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating. It stands 73 inches tall on a 96-by-96-inch footprint, giving you the full 2,000-gallon working volume without a tall, tippy profile - useful when overhead clearance or wind exposure is a concern. That 1.5 SG rating is the number that tells you what this tank is actually built to hold, and it is the spec most buyers overlook.
Will this tank work for your job?
This is a vertical tank sized for bulk water and liquid storage. Filled with plain water, the contents weigh about 16,680 pounds; the tank is rated to carry contents up to 25,020 pounds, which is the headroom the 1.5 SG rating buys you for liquids heavier than water. Match that footprint to your pad: the 96 x 96 inch base needs a flat, fully supported foundation rated for the full filled weight, since polyethylene tanks transfer load straight down to whatever they sit on. If you are weighing this 73-inch-tall, wide-base build against a taller, narrower 2,000-gallon vertical, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through footprint, height, and weight trade-offs. The model-specific comparisons in our 2000 gallon vertical storage tank buyer's guides put this wide footprint next to the alternatives directly: the tall-profile 64 x 152 and 64 x 153 builds, and the intermediate 90 x 84 and 93 x 80 footprints.
The mistake to avoid
Do not assume the 1.5 specific gravity rating means any liquid is fair game. The rating confirms the wall can structurally carry contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water - that is a weight-bearing spec, not a chemical-compatibility approval. For anything other than water, confirm both the contents' specific gravity against the 1.5 ceiling and the chemical compatibility of High Density Linear Polyethylene before you fill. The second common miss is the foundation: a 96-inch base under 25,020 pounds of rated load will find every soft spot in an undersized pad. One more ordering note - the fitting and outlet configuration is not listed in this record, so confirm the size and placement of any bulkhead fitting or outlet against the technical drawing on this page, or by phone, before you order.
Freight and ordering
This tank is molded at Snyder Industries plants in Albertville, AL and California, and ships LTL freight from the originating plant with the rate quoted live to your ZIP - the plant you ship from drives that rate, which is why we confirm it against your delivery ZIP rather than quoting a flat figure. Keep in mind the LTL rate is on the empty tank itself, the only thing being shipped; the 16,680-pound water weight and 25,020-pound rated load are for foundation and pad design, not freight or rigging. Enter your delivery ZIP in our Freight Cost Estimator for a real number before you buy, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it by phone - have your site details ready, since liftgate, limited-access, or residential delivery all affect the LTL rate.
