The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank (part 7410000N40) is a crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank built for high-volume bulk water and demanding storage duty. It holds a nominal 3,000 gallons in a Natural White shell measuring 102 inches in diameter and 96 inches tall, and it carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating - engineered to hold up to 37,530 pounds of contents, the number that makes or breaks your foundation decision.
Will this 3000 gallon vertical tank work for your site?
Start with the loaded weight, because that is what dictates your pad and your rigging. Filled with plain water this tank carries about 25,020 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating it is engineered to hold up to 37,530 pounds. That load sits on a 102 x 102 inch square footprint, with the 102-inch diameter being the figure to check against your gate, door, and crane clearances before delivery day. Plan a level, continuously supported pad rated for the full contents weight - not the empty tank. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit, and if this vertical storage tank feeds a fire-protection reservoir, the NFPA 22 reservoir sizing guide walks the freeboard and freeze-protection math for rural and remote installs.
The 1.5 SG rating is the detail people get wrong
The most common mistake on a tank like this is treating the specific gravity rating as a formality. It is not. The 1.5 SG XLPE wall is what lets this tank safely store contents heavier than plain water; downgrade to a 1.0-rated tank to save money, then store a denser fluid, and you have overloaded the wall. Size the tank to the density of what actually goes in it. Because fitting layout is not part of the published spec on this model, call 866-418-1777 to confirm the outlet and bulkhead configuration before you order. For above-ground installs, the concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI framework for supporting a load this size, and the Snyder freeboard sizing guide explains the ASTM D1998 thermal-expansion math behind the usable volume you actually get. Anchoring a grey-water, rainwater, or condensate storage train? The water reuse topology guide is worth a read.
