The Snyder Industries 30 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a compact, small-footprint vertical storage tank molded from high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated for contents up to a 1.9 specific gravity. At 23 inches in diameter and 23 inches tall, it holds 30 gallons and drops into tight corners, pump sheds, utility rooms, and truck beds where a full-size vertical tank simply will not fit. The black exterior blocks light to slow algae growth in stored water, which makes this a practical choice for shaded outdoor water storage as well as indoor use.
Will this tank work for your job?
This is a true vertical storage tank with a 23.0 x 23.0 inch footprint, so plan a level pad or floor at least that wide with clear access around the tank for filling and draw-down. Filled with plain water, the tank and its contents weigh roughly 250 pounds, so a firm, fully supported surface is all that is typically needed for water service. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is where this tank earns its "heavy duty" name: the HDLPE wall is rated to carry contents weighing up to about 475 pounds at that maximum density, giving you real headroom over lighter water-only tanks. If you are not sure whether 30 gallons is the right volume for your reserve or draw-down, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Merced, California, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price. Because a 30 gallon tank is light and boxy, freight is usually reasonable, but the exact cost depends on distance and your delivery site.

The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a heavy duty tank like this is over-trusting the diameter for stability under a dense fill. The 1.9 specific gravity rating tells you the HDLPE wall can hold the weight, but a 23-inch-diameter vertical tank carrying up to 475 pounds of contents is a tall, narrow, top-heavy load. Set it on a genuinely level, fully supported base, and secure or strap it if it will live in a moving truck, on a trailer, or anywhere it could be bumped. For above-ground installs, our guide to concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through building a base that will not settle or tip under the tank over time. Confirm the outlet and lid configuration you need at the time of quote so the tank arrives ready for your plumbing.
