The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank gives you 2,000 gallons of bulk water capacity in a single white polyethylene vessel standing 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch square footprint. Molded from polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, this is a water-service vertical storage tank built for the dead weight and the long stand-still life that bulk water holding demands. The white wall tint cuts light penetration through the wall to slow algae growth compared with translucent natural tanks - a real advantage for water you intend to hold for weeks at a time.
Will this Snyder 2000 gallon tank work for my site?
Plan the pad and the plumbing around the real numbers. This vertical storage tank stands 88 inches tall and occupies a 90.0 x 90.0 inch footprint, so confirm your doorway, overhead clearance, and pad dimensions before it arrives. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is a hard gate, not a suggestion: this tank is rated for water and liquids up to 1.0 specific gravity only. For anything heavier - fertilizer, brine, many chemicals - you need a higher-SG-rated tank, so call us at 866-418-1777 before you order if your liquid is not water. Filled to capacity, plan for 16,680 pounds of full water weight bearing on the pad. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,000 gallons is the right size before you commit the concrete. Outlet and bulkhead fittings are confirmed per order - call 866-418-1777 with your plumbing requirement and we will spec the tank to it.
The mistake to avoid
The most expensive error on a vertical storage tank this size is the pad, not the tank. At 16,680 pounds full - the maximum rated contents weight at SG 1.0 - every square inch of that 90 x 90 base has to be evenly supported. Do not set it on gravel, pavers, a wood deck, or soil that has not been compacted and leveled; settling under load is what splits the bottom seam. Pour a level, continuously supported concrete pad sized to the full 90 x 90 footprint, get it dead level, and confirm the standing height of 88 inches clears any roof, eave, or fill line above the install point. For exact port locations and dimensional detail, see the technical drawing on this page. A few hours of pad prep protects a 2,000 gallon water investment for its full service life.
Freight
This Snyder vertical tank ships LTL freight from the nearest of Snyder's plants in Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV - a Plains or Midwest ZIP routes from Lincoln, while an Eastern ZIP routes from Philippi, and the shorter lane means a lower LTL number on a high-cube tank like this one. Because a 2000 gallon vertical tank is large, light, and high-cube, freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than baked into the listed price. Get your closest-plant number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote the run from whichever plant is nearer you.
