The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5050300C37) is a 96-inch-diameter polyethylene vertical tank standing 84 inches tall, built for bulk water and liquid storage where footprint and rated strength both matter. Note the proportions before you plan: at 8 feet wide and 7 feet tall, this is a short, wide vertical, wider than it is tall, so it needs more pad than overhead clearance. It carries a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, which is the number that tells you whether this tank can hold what you intend to put in it.
Will it work for your site?
This vertical storage tank has a 96.0 x 96.0 inch (64 sq ft) footprint, so plan a level pad at least that wide before delivery. Full of water (specific gravity 1.0), the contents weigh 16,680 lb; at the tank's full 1.5 specific-gravity rating the contents can reach 25,020 lb. Spread over the 64-square-foot footprint, that loaded liquid alone is roughly 391 lb per square foot, plus the tank's own weight, which is why the pad and base preparation matter as much as the tank itself. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2000 gallons is the right working volume for your fill and draw cycle. For the slab itself, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the foundation carries that loaded weight without cracking or settling.
The specific-gravity number is the mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is reading the gallon figure and ignoring specific gravity. The 1.5 rating means the wall is built for liquids up to 1.5 times the density of water. Water sits at 1.0, so for plain water storage you have ample margin. But if you ever plan to store anything heavier than water in this Snyder vertical tank, the specific-gravity rating, not the gallon count, sets your limit. Match your liquid's density to the 1.5 rating before you fill, and confirm the working capacity against the loaded weights above rather than assuming gallons alone tell the story.
Fittings and where it ships from
This listing does not specify the inlet, outlet, lid, or vent configuration, so confirm fitting sizes and locations from the technical drawing on this page or by calling 866-418-1777 before you order. The tank is manufactured and ships from Chowchilla, CA, moving by LTL freight quoted live to your ZIP. Because a 2000-gallon vertical tank is a large, light, oversized load rather than a heavy one, freight is rated by dimensions and distance, not by the tank's empty weight. For an 8-foot-wide load originating in central California, distance to eastern ZIP codes is the dominant cost driver, so get an exact number for your delivery address using the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.
