A 2,500 gallon heavy duty black cone bottom tank, light enough to set with a forklift
Snyder Industries part number 5110000N51 is a 2500 gallon heavy duty cone bottom tank in black high density linear polyethylene. It is 90 inches in diameter and 125 inches tall, with a ship weight of 400 lb. The heavy duty wall is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity, and the service limit is 100 F (37 C). An 18 inch threaded vented manway is on top. 2,500 gallons of water weighs 20,850 lb, about 10 tons, and a denser liquid weighs more. Black keeps light away from the contents.

Where it fits
At 125 inches tall, this is an easy cone to place: it goes under a shed roof or a canopy, the manway is a short climb, and at 400 lb it comes off the truck on a forklift. The heavy duty wall carries liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, so it suits a small site holding a heavy liquid: a brine for road or process use, a strong fertilizer solution, or a treatment chemical denser than water. The cone drains the whole batch, sediment included, through one low point.
If your liquid is 1.5 specific gravity or lighter, you do not need the heavy duty wall; ask us about a standard wall tank of this size. Our 2500 gallon cone bottom tank buyer's guide covers the choices at this capacity, and our guide to 2500 gallon cone tanks with a poly stand looks at the stand side. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide; buyers of this tank most often look up sodium hypochlorite, acetic acid and urea solution.
What to confirm before you buy
- Specific gravity. Take it from the SDS for your liquid. This tank is rated to 1.9.
- Stand. A cone cannot sit on its point; it needs a stand rated for the full liquid weight, sold separately. Our cone bottom stand compatibility matrix shows how stands pair with Snyder tanks. Tell us the clearance you want under the cone.
- Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed for this tank. Tell us the drain size and valve material and we confirm the fitting with Snyder before it ships.
- Level. You cannot see the liquid through a black wall. Plan a gauge or a float indicator through the manway.
- Containment. For a regulated liquid, our Snyder Captor containment comparison sets out the options.
- Heat. Keep the contents under 100 F; a black tank in full sun warms up.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 400 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 90 by 90 by 125 inches at 400 lb. The freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. A forklift with some reach and two people will set it into its stand. At the tailgate, check 5110000N51 against the bill of lading, look over the cone and the manway before you sign, and fill it with water the first time, in its stand, before any chemical goes in. Call 866-418-1777 with questions.
