The Snyder Industries 210 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical tank that stands 55 inches tall on a compact 36 x 36-inch footprint and holds 210 gallons. Molded in Natural White polyethylene, its 1.9 specific gravity rating tells you the wall was built for dense contents, not water alone. If you are weighing this Snyder vertical against other white vertical storage tanks, the heavy-duty wall and high SG rating are what separate it from a standard-wall storage tank.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries about 1,751 pounds; loaded to its maximum rated contents weight it reaches 3,328 pounds. That spread is the whole planning story. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means the tank is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water, so a full tank of a heavier liquid still stays within the wall's design limit. With a 36 x 36-inch footprint and a 55-inch height, it slips into tight equipment rooms, well houses, and back-of-shop corners where a wider vertical storage tank would not fit. Run the numbers against your planned volume with the Tank Sizing Calculator, and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you lock in a height and diameter.
Set it on the right base and handle it empty
A vertical tank this heavy needs full, continuous support under the entire floor. For an above-ground install, pour or verify a level pad sized for the loaded weight; our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the base does not become the weak link. Move and position the tank empty; at a 55-inch height on a 36-inch-square base it is one-person-maneuverable dry, but a filled tank at up to 3,328 pounds must never be relocated. Fitting and outlet locations are shown on the technical drawing on this page, so check it before you trench plumbing or set the tank in place. If this is part of a rural fire-water reserve or a water-reuse train, the guides on fire-water reservoir design and industrial water reuse topology cover the sizing discipline and freeze protection that keep a polyethylene tank in service through cold-climate winters.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a heavy-duty tank like this is treating the gallon rating and the weight rating as the same decision. At 210 gallons, water alone is roughly 1,751 pounds, but this tank is rated to a maximum contents weight of 3,328 pounds because of its 1.9 specific gravity build. Plan your pad, anchoring, and forklift handling for that maximum number, not the water figure, or you will undersize the foundation. Storing something denser than water? Confirm your contents' specific gravity stays at or below 1.9, and verify gasket and fitting compatibility for your specific chemistry before you fill.
This Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, quoted live to your ZIP code. At up to 3,328 pounds rated and 1,751 pounds water-filled, this is firmly an LTL shipment, and the rate from West Virginia will swing materially with distance, so East-coast and West-coast buyers should pull a real number before assuming a price.
