The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 1011200C26) is a 300-gallon polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding water and general liquid storage. It stands 82 inches tall on a compact 35 x 35 inch footprint in Natural White, so you can read the fill level at a glance while fitting the tank into a tight pad, shed corner, or equipment room. What sets this Snyder heavy-duty model apart is its 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered to hold contents substantially heavier than plain water.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water, this 300 gallon vertical tank carries roughly 2,502 lb of liquid, and the wall is rated to hold contents up to about 4,754 lb at its 1.9 specific gravity limit. That heavy-duty rating is the reason to choose this model over a standard-duty vertical storage tank: it gives you headroom for denser liquids without approaching the wall limit. To check a given liquid, multiply its specific gravity by the 2,502 lb full-water weight; the result must stay at or under the 4,754 lb rated maximum. Confirm your finished pad or floor is level, continuously supported across the full 35 x 35 inch base, and sized for the loaded weight. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match capacity to your draw-down and refill rate before you commit.
Foundation and specs
The 82-inch height and narrow 35-inch diameter make this a strong fit where floor space is limited but vertical clearance is available. Because this is a tall, heavily loaded vertical tank, the pad matters: our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for a level, full-contact base that keeps the tank stable when full. For standby and rural fire-water duty, our fire-water reservoir sizing guide covers NFPA 22 reserve volume, and if you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, our water-reuse tank topology guide shows how a vertical storage tank like this fits a quality-banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a heavy-duty vertical storage tank is confusing its 1.9 specific gravity rating with a certification for a specific liquid. The rating describes how much weight the wall can carry, not chemical compatibility or potability. Verify your liquid's specific gravity keeps the loaded weight at or under 4,754 lb, and confirm the material suits your service before filling.
