The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need a tall, square-footprint vessel that holds a full 2,000 gallons without sprawling across the pad. It stands 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is the headroom that lets this Snyder vertical handle dense liquids well beyond plain water. If you are sizing a 2000 gallon vertical storage tank for fresh water, irrigation supply, or rural reserve, the numbers below tell you exactly what it will do and how it gets to your site.
Will it work for your job?
Filled with water, the contents alone weigh about 16,680 lb, so the slab or compacted base under this tank has to be flat, level, and rated for that load across the 90 x 90 inch footprint. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the tank shell is engineered to carry up to roughly 31,692 lb of contents at maximum rated density, so heavier-than-water liquids stay within the tank's structural envelope rather than overstressing the wall. For water, irrigation, and fire-reserve service you have a wide margin, and at 1.9 SG this vertical covers essentially every common water and water-treatment liquid up to that density without stepping up to a heavier-rated tank. If you are running a denser liquid, that 1.9 rating is the number to check your fluid against. Need help confirming the size against your draw and refill rate?

How it ships
This tank moves by LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP, and it ships empty: the freight covers the empty tank shell only, while the 16,680 lb figure is your filled load for sizing the foundation, not the shipment weight. It leaves the nearest Snyder Industries plant in our network, either Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, so a buyer in the Plains or the Mid-Atlantic generally sees a shorter, lower-cost lane, and the Freight Estimator picks the cheaper origin for your destination automatically. Because a 2,000 gallon vertical is large and the empty tank still occupies a full LTL footprint, freight is always quoted separately rather than bundled into the list price.

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is treating specific gravity as a footnote. The 1.9 rating is a ceiling, not a recommendation: it tells you the maximum content density the shell is built for, and pumping in something denser than your tank is rated for is how walls fail prematurely. For straight water you are well inside the limit. The second mistake is the foundation. A tank carrying 16,680 lb of water needs a base that stays dead level over time. Confirm the fittings you need and your base plan against the technical drawing on this page, and check your wall and roof venting for the fill and draw rates you expect. Our worked guide on atmospheric vent capacity calculations for polyethylene storage tanks covers this tank's 2,000-gallon size directly within its 1,500 to 10,000 gallon range, and if this is a rural reserve install, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection.
