The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) vertical storage tank rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, near the top of the density range for a poly tank this size. At 90 inches across and 107 inches tall, it holds 2,500 gallons on a 90.0 x 90.0-inch footprint. The black exterior blocks light to slow algae growth, making it a practical choice for exterior water storage, fire-water reserves, and heavy-duty vertical tank duty.
Will it work for your site?
Plan for a roughly 90" x 90" pad and more than 107 inches (about 9 feet) of overhead clearance so you can reach the lid and manway. Full of water this tank carries about 20,850 lb, and its 1.9 SG rating supports a maximum rated contents weight of roughly 39,615 lb, so a properly engineered slab is not optional. That 1.9 SG also means the wall is rated for fluids up to about 1.9 times the density of water, up to that weight limit. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm capacity against your draw, and see our concrete pad sizing guide for the ACI framework behind that foundation. For fire-protection reservoirs, our NFPA 22 reservoir design guide walks the sizing discipline.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with a 15-inch access opening — enough clearance to confirm before you plan a pump, float, or inspection install. One caveat to act on: some gallonage marks may be removed for fitting placement, and Snyder configures fittings per order, so verify the outlet, vent, and flange positions against the drawing before the tank is built rather than after it ships.
XLPE vs HDPE
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank rather than standard HDPE. Crosslinking builds impact and environmental-stress-crack resistance into the wall, which is why it earns a heavier-duty rating; our XLPE vs HDPE breakdown explains when that difference matters. If you are weighing freeboard on a double-wall setup, our Captor freeboard guide covers the usable-volume math under ASTM D1998.
This vertical storage tank ships by LTL freight from a single Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, so freight to distant ZIPs is quoted live from that one origin. Get a number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will handle the quote and the order.
