The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a 2,500-gallon white polyethylene vertical storage tank built and certified to ASTM D1998, the manufacturing standard for polyethylene upright storage tanks. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the wall is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water. For straight water duty that is a wide margin of safety, and it is also why this vertical tank suits heavier liquids well beyond plain water storage.
Will this tank work for your application?
This is a large-format vertical storage tank, so plan the slab and the math before it arrives. At full 2,500-gallon water service, the tank plus its contents weigh approximately 20,850 lbs (filled water service weight), while the structure is rated to carry a maximum of 39,615 lbs of contents at its 1.9 specific gravity ceiling. Those are two distinct numbers: the first is what your pad supports on day one with water; the second is the rated load limit if you store something denser. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the pad, anchoring, and load before you commit. The 90 x 90 inch footprint and 107-inch height set your clearance, doorway, and overhead requirements, so verify the technical drawing on this page against your site. For the full selection logic on an HDPE storage tank this size, the 2500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide walks through it step by step.
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the detail people miss
Most water and rainwater installs only need a 1.0 to 1.5 specific gravity tank. This Snyder vertical tank is rated to 1.9, which is a real advantage if your stored liquid is heavier than water, but it is also the spec to read carefully when you compare quotes. A lighter-rated tank can look similar and cost less, yet it will not safely hold the same dense contents. Match the specific gravity rating to your actual liquid, not just the gallon number. If your liquid is denser than water, confirm fitting and gasket material compatibility by phone before ordering, since fitting layout, bulkhead sizing, and gasket material are confirmed per order rather than published here. The wall thickness that supports a 1.9 rating is also why ASTM D1998 sizing discipline matters at this scale, covered in the HDPE tank wall thickness guide. If your service requires secondary containment, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide covers how to size usable volume, and for fire-water reserve or freeze-prone rural duty the NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir guide covers the sizing discipline for that role.
Freight and ordering
This 2500 gallon vertical HDPE storage tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code. It ships from a Snyder Industries plant in either Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, and your ZIP determines which plant routes the order: an Eastern ZIP shipping from Philippi versus a Central or Western ZIP shipping from Lincoln can change the LTL number meaningfully, so the Freight Cost Estimator result is plant-specific. Because freight on a tank this size is a real part of the total freight cost, run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator before you order to see the actual number, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you and confirm fittings, configuration, and the right tank for your liquid.
