The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black polyethylene tank built to the ASTM standard with a 1.4 specific gravity rating, so it holds water and heavier-than-water contents up to that density without overstressing the wall. Footprint and height are fixed: 96 in tall on a 102 x 102 in round base, roughly a 102 in diameter. That is wider than a standard doorway, so plan on open-air placement or a crane set rather than rolling it through a building. Confirm the pad and any gate clearance against those numbers and the full listed dimensions before you commit a location.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water this vertical storage tank carries about 25,020 pounds, and at its full 1.4 SG rating the contents can reach roughly 35,028 pounds. That load has to land on a flat, fully supporting foundation. For an above-ground poly tank a correctly sized concrete pad matters as much as the tank itself, so if you are pouring new, work through our concrete pad sizing guide first. If you are still weighing capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match usable volume to your draw-down and refill schedule. This is a general-purpose black vertical tank suited to bulk water, irrigation reserve, rainwater collection, and reserve supply where a tall, small-footprint 3000 gallon storage tank fits the site.
Sizing it into a larger system
At 3,000 gallons this size often anchors a rural or remote water reserve rather than standing alone. If you are building toward fire protection, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For reclaimed or blended supply, the water reuse tank topology guide walks through staging grey-water, rainwater, and condensate into quality-banded storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
Do not read the 1.4 SG rating as a license to store any liquid. This is a water-service tank; the SG rating tells you the maximum contents density the wall is engineered for, not that a given chemical is compatible with the polyethylene or its seals. Fitting and outlet configuration is not published for this model, so we confirm the outlet, vent, and gasket setup at the time of quote, and any gasket or elastomer compatibility beyond water service has to be verified before you order. Keep it in water and water-like service and call us to lock the fitting layout to your draw and vent needs.
