The Snyder Industries 30 Gallon Pest Control Operator (PCO) tank is a compact, white HDLPE vessel built for the truck-bed, skid, and trailer rigs that pest-control and lawn-care operators run every day. Molded in white polyethylene at 23 inches tall on a 19 x 24-inch footprint, it slots into tight spray-rig real estate where a full-size 30 gallon vertical tank won't fit. The 1.5 specific gravity rating gives real working headroom over plain water service.
Will this 30 gallon tank work for your rig?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 250 pounds; the wall and base are rated to a maximum contents weight of 375 pounds, which is the number that matters when you mix a treatment heavier than water. Spread across 30 gallons, that 375-pound ceiling caps you near 12.5 pounds per gallon of mix. The limit pairs with the 1.5 specific gravity rating, so the tank is built to hold contents up to 1.5 times the density of water without overstressing the polyethylene. Confirm the density of your specific mix against that rating before filling. The 19 x 24-inch footprint and 23-inch height are the dimensions to check against your bed rails, skid frame, or platform; the technical drawing on this page shows the exact profile and the fittings as molded, so you can plan plumbing and tie-downs. If you are weighing this 30 gal Snyder against other capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match volume and loaded weight to what your vehicle and suspension can carry.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a small PCO tank is overloading by density, not by volume. A 30 gallon tank sits well under the water weight most rigs can handle, so operators assume there is margin to spare and fill it with a heavy concentrate or slurry. The governing limit here is the 375-pound maximum contents weight and the 1.5 specific gravity rating, not the gallon mark. Do the math on your loaded weight before you fill, and verify your tie-down points can carry a tank that may swing 375 pounds through a turn. For any unconventional service, confirm chemical compatibility with the polyethylene and your fitting and gasket materials against the manufacturer's resistance data, concentration- and temperature-specific, before committing the tank to it.
