The Snyder Industries 210 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked-polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank built for storage where wall toughness and impact resistance matter. It stands 55 inches tall on a 36 x 36 inch footprint, so it sits on a compact pad. Molded in natural white, the tank runs on ASTM XLPE resin that carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - meaning the body is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water within its rated volume. That 1.9 rating is the heavy-duty ceiling for this XLPE line, so it covers essentially any water-service liquid by density without stepping up to a tougher tank.
Will it work for your site
At 210 gallons, filled with plain water this tank carries roughly 1,751 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.9 specific-gravity rating it is built to hold up to about 3,328 pounds. On the 36 x 36 inch footprint - 9 square feet - a fully loaded tank puts on the order of 370 pounds per square foot onto your slab before you add the tank's own weight, so size the pad for the loaded figure that matches your liquid, not the dry weight. The vertical profile keeps that load compact and stable and makes the tank straightforward to place indoors or under a simple roof. If you are unsure which capacity fits your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this Snyder XLPE tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior cleaning and inspection. The vented lid lets the tank breathe during fill and draw, which prevents the draw-down vacuum or fill pressurization that can distort a sealed vertical tank. Confirm fitting and outlet locations against the drawing before you plumb in. One real compatibility note: the XLPE body tolerates far more than a stock gasket will, so select the flange gasket elastomer for your stored chemistry rather than defaulting to whatever ships in the box, and match bulkhead hardware the same way. The manway makes routine cleanout and level-sensor placement much easier than a solid-top tank.
Why choose crosslinked polyethylene
The common mistake with a tank like this is treating XLPE and standard HDPE as interchangeable. Crosslinked linear polyethylene builds a bonded molecular structure that resists cracking and stress from impact and thermal cycling, which is why it earns the heavy-duty rating and the higher 1.9 specific-gravity number - but it cannot be thermally welded or field-modified the way HDPE can, so plan all penetrations at order time. If you are weighing the two resins, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE walks through when crosslinking earns its keep. This is a single-wall tank; if your liquid needs secondary containment, see our guide to Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing for the containment path.
