The Snyder Industries 230 Gallon Plastic Horizontal Leg Tank (SKU SII-1280000N45) is a white polyethylene leg tank built to carry liquid down the road. Its self-supporting elongated body and molded legs sit flat in a truck bed or on a trailer skid, and at 52 inches long by 38 inches wide by 43 inches tall it fits the kind of footprint applicators and haulers already work around. This is a horizontal tank in the truest sense: the 38.0 x 52.0 inch footprint keeps the load low and stable while you move product field to field or yard to job site.
Will it work for your load?
Full of water this leg tank carries roughly 1,918 pounds, and Snyder rates it to a maximum contents weight of 3,645 pounds. That 3,645 lb figure is the one that drives your decision: it equals a full 230 gallons of a liquid at the tank's 1.9 specific gravity rating, so you can fill it to the top with the densest rated product and still stay inside the structural cap. A 1.9 SG rating is the maximum density this tank body is built for, which is why it is engineered for liquids well heavier than water. Before you fill it, run your liquid's weight through the Tank Sizing Calculator and confirm your trailer or truck can handle the loaded figure for the volume you intend to haul. If you are still deciding on capacity, the Tank Sizing Guide walks through how horizontal leg tanks are sized for transport. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and the molded-in detail you will use to plumb it.
Chemical compatibility
What is confirmed: this tank is molded from polyethylene, carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, and is rated against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for the chemicals below. Our data reads the resin as HDLPE but does not lock the grade, so for any chemical service we confirm with you by phone at 866-418-1777 whether your unit is HDLPE or XLPE crosslinked polyethylene before you commit, since that one distinction changes what it holds long term. Every rating below is specific to the listed concentration and to service temperature, so verify your actual conditions against the chart.
The 1.9 SG rating gives this tank a wide compatible list. Common agricultural and treatment liquids it is rated for include DEF at 32.5% (316 stainless fittings, EPDM gaskets), urea solution at 50%, ethylene glycol at 100%, propylene glycol, calcium chloride at 40% and magnesium chloride at 30%. On the water-treatment side it is rated for aluminum sulfate at 50%, ferric chloride at 50%, ferric sulfate at 60%, ferrous sulfate at 20%, polyaluminum chloride, sodium carbonate at 30%, potassium carbonate at 50%, saturated potassium hydroxide, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite and sodium thiosulfate at 40%. Several of these (polyaluminum chloride, propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, and zinc orthophosphate) are concentration-dependent in our chart, so confirm your strength with us before ordering fittings.
It is also rated for several aggressive acids and oxidizers, and this is exactly where the expensive mistake gets made: matching the right resin and SG but bolting on the wrong fitting or gasket material. Check these pairings at a glance — sulfuric acid at 98% needs CPVC fittings with Viton gaskets; peracetic acid at 30% needs 316 stainless with Aflas; and the Viton-gasket acid group covers hydrochloric acid at 37%, hydrofluoric acid at 48%, hydrofluosilicic acid at 26%, phosphoric acid at 85%, hydrogen peroxide at 50% and sodium hypochlorite under 16.5%. Acetic acid at 60% takes PP or PVC with EPDM, zinc orthophosphate uses PP or 316 stainless with EPDM, and ozonated water up to 10 PPM runs on PVC with EPDM — call us to confirm the ozonated-water build, as it is not yet a linked resource. Cross-check every fitting and gasket against the OEM chart for your exact chemical. At a 1.9 SG rating this is already the top density class for this tank body, so for any liquid heavier than that the answer is a different tank line, not a drop-in upgrade — call and we will spec it. If your liquid is not on this list, start at our chemical compatibility resource.
Freight and ordering
Snyder molds this leg tank at multiple plants, and it ships LTL freight from the nearest of Lincoln, NE; Merced, CA; or Philippi, WV, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because the nearest plant drives your cost, get an exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator before you order, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it with you. If you are planning a fertilizer or applicator setup, our guides on applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer, fertilizer-blend tank stratification, and Snyder Captor double-wall tanks for SPCC compliance cover the regulatory and field details that come with hauling liquid. Call 866-418-1777 with your chemical, concentration, and destination ZIP and we will help you spec fittings and lock in freight.
