Snyder Industries 22 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 22 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a compact ASTM crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank built for point-of-use water and light-duty storage where floor space is tight. It stands 23 inches tall on an 18 x 18 inch footprint, holds a nominal 22 gallons, and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating in Natural White resin. That mix of small size and a heavy 1.9 SG rating is why people reach for this Snyder XLPE tank instead of a thin-wall utility drum.

Will it work for your setup?

Sizing is simple at this scale. Full of water the tank weighs about 183 pounds, and the 1.9 specific gravity rating means the wall is engineered to carry contents up to roughly 349 pounds when filled with a denser liquid. Plan your pad or shelf around the 18.0 x 18.0 inch footprint, and confirm the load against your stand before filling. Remember that 22 gallons is nominal shell volume, not a fill line — leave freeboard for thermal expansion rather than topping the tank right to the neck; our guide on freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 shows how to figure the volume you can actually use. If you are weighing this against another capacity, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the vertical storage tank to your real draw and refill cycle.

Why crosslinked polyethylene here

This is an XLPE tank, not standard HDPE. Crosslinking bonds the polyethylene into a more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall, which is what lets Snyder publish the higher 1.9 SG rating on a body this small. For plain water storage that toughness is margin you may never spend; for anything heavier it is the whole point. If you are deciding between the two materials, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE walks through when the crosslinked wall earns its keep.

Freight and ordering

This Snyder XLPE storage tank ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, NE, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Get a real number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will size the vertical tank, settle the crosslinked-vs-standard question, and book the freight with you. One mistake to avoid: do not assume a small tank ships cheap. A 22 gallon tank still travels LTL on a pallet, so pull the estimate before you commit rather than guessing at the cost.
