The Snyder Industries 290 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is built for operators who need serious durability from a compact 36-inch square footprint. Molded in crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, this vertical storage tank is engineered to hold dense contents heavier than water that would overtax a standard water-weight tank. At 72 inches tall on a 36 x 36 base, it stores 290 gallons in natural white resin.
Will this tank work for your site?
The full envelope is 36 x 36 inches at the base by 72 inches tall, so confirm that footprint and height against your pad, doorway, or overhead clearance before you commit. Full of water, the tank carries about 2,419 pounds; loaded to its maximum rated contents, it supports up to 4,595 pounds. That 1.9 SG rating is the number that matters when you are storing anything denser than water, and it is what separates this XLPE build from a basic HDPE storage tank. If you are matching a tank to a specific volume or fill weight, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and cross-check the load against the Tank Sizing Guide. For a fixed installation, size the concrete base to that full 4,595-pound loaded weight, not the empty shell.
Fittings and access
The tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented top, and a manway with a 15-inch access opening for interior reach and cleaning. Confirm that 15-inch opening gives you the hand and tool clearance your maintenance routine needs. See the technical drawing on this page for the exact fitting layout and port placement so you can verify your plumbing and vent routing line up before delivery.
XLPE versus HDPE and pad prep
Crosslinked polyethylene is a different material than standard high-density resin, and the choice affects long-term service life under dense, heavy loads. Our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE walks through when crosslinking earns its keep. If this is going on a concrete foundation, the above-ground pad sizing framework covers the ACI approach for a tank this heavy when full.
This vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Philippi, West Virginia, quoted live to your ZIP. Because a unit that can reach 4,595 pounds loaded is a real LTL delivery, plan for accessorials like liftgate or residential access up front. Get a rate in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will build the quote and confirm those accessorial needs. Listed price is the tank before freight.
