The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white, high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) vertical built for bulk water and general liquid storage. It stands 84 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint, weighs 300 pounds empty, and carries an 18-inch lid for access and inspection. Ordered as the "without fitting" configuration, it ships with NO outlet installed - a deliberate choice that lets you place bulkhead fittings exactly where your plumbing needs them rather than working around a factory outlet. Snyder lists this HDLPE vertical under certifications 2285, 2282 (verify the current listing with Snyder for your application).
Will it hold your liquid?
This tank is rated to a 1.5 specific gravity, so it handles water and heavier-than-water liquids up to that density. Filled with water (SG 1.0), the 2000 gallons weigh about 16,680 pounds; at the full 1.5 SG rating the contents can reach roughly 25,020 pounds. That combined load drives your pad and anchoring plan - a level, continuously supported concrete pad sized to the 96 x 96 inch footprint is the right foundation for a vertical this size. Maximum service temperature is 120 F (48 C). At a glance for pad and freight planning:
- Empty weight: 300 lb
- Full of water (SG 1.0): ~16,680 lb
- Full at 1.5 SG rating: ~25,020 lb
- Footprint: 96 x 96 in, height 84 in
- Ships from: Chowchilla, CA (LTL)

The mistake to avoid
Two things trip buyers up on this SKU. First, "without fitting" means exactly that - no outlet is installed, so spec your bulkhead size, gasket, and outlet placement before the tank arrives; call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the configuration with you so it is usable on delivery. Second, this is HDLPE (linear polyethylene) rated to 1.5 specific gravity. Confirm your liquid's specific gravity sits at or below 1.5 before you buy - as contents climb from SG 1.0 to the full 1.5 rating, the load climbs from 16,680 lb to 25,020 lb, and anything heavier than 1.5 SG requires a different tank, not this one. For a full walk-through of the vertical liquid storage configuration, see our 2000 gallon vertical buyer's guide. If this tank is going into a rural fire-protection role, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection. Vented for atmospheric service? The API 2000 vent-sizing worked examples apply directly to 1500-to-10000 gallon verticals like this one. See the technical drawing on this page for lid placement and overall dimensions.
This 2000 gallon Snyder Industries vertical ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California - the single ship-from point, so East Coast buyers should plan on longer LTL lanes.
