The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM Black Vertical Storage Tank is a full-size bulk water tank built in polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating, standing 127 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch square footprint. If you are staging water for rural supply, irrigation, industrial reuse, or reserve storage, this is the class of vertical storage tank sized to hold real volume without spreading across a wide pad.
Will it work for your site
At 3000 gallons of plain water, plan for roughly 25,020 pounds of full water weight. The 1.5 specific gravity rating means the shell is engineered to carry contents up to about 37,530 pounds at maximum rated density, so you have headroom above the weight of water alone. That headroom is what lets this tank hold fluids denser than water, not just water, so use the rating to self-qualify your contents before you call. Those numbers are also what your pad and site prep must answer to: a filled tank of this size is a heavy, concentrated load on a 90 x 90 inch base. Confirm the concrete or compacted base is level, continuous, and rated for the full contents weight before you fill. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide match this 3000 gallon capacity to your daily draw and refill cycle, the Snyder freeboard and usable-volume guide explains nameplate versus the volume you can actually work with under ASTM D1998, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI framework for a base under a tank this heavy.
Fittings and access
As configured on the technical drawing, this tank carries a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior reach during inspection or cleaning. Review the technical drawing on this page for fitting positions and elevations before you plumb, since some gallonage marks may be removed where fittings are placed. The vented lid matters on a storage tank this size: as water draws down and refills, the vent lets the tank breathe so you are not pulling vacuum or pressurizing the top head.
Freight and how to order
This Snyder 3000 gallon vertical tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than included in the list price. Because it stands 127 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch base, this is a dedicated LTL load, so line up your offload access and get an accurate number before you commit. Run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator for a freight quote, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will work out delivery, offload access, and pad questions for your site. For broader planning, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows where a black vertical storage tank of this size fits in a larger system, and if you are sizing a reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers reserve-storage sizing discipline.
