Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Cone Bottom Tank

Who it suits

A cone this low is for the buyer with limited height and a liquid that has to drain out completely: a vineyard or orchard mixing fertilizer under a shed, a dairy or a packing house holding wash water, a small treatment system that settles solids and draws them off. At 120 inches before the stand, the manway is a short climb, and filling, sampling and cleaning stay simple. The cone takes the last gallons and the sediment to a single point at the bottom.

The standard 1.5 wall carries water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals. For a heavier liquid, the heavy duty version of this shell, rated 1.9, is the right tank, and we list it as well. Our 3000 gallon cone bottom tank buyer's guide covers the choices at this size. Look up your liquid in our chemical compatibility guide; buyers of this tank check urea solution, propylene glycol, sodium thiosulfate and DEF most often.

What to check before you buy

1. The exact tank. Snyder makes more than one 3000 gallon cone. This is the 8360000 shell, 95 inches across and 120 inches tall. Use the part number 8360000N49 when you order or call.
2. The stand. A cone cannot sit on its point. It needs a stand for this diameter, rated for the full weight of the liquid and sold separately. Our cone bottom stand compatibility matrix shows how stands pair with Snyder tanks.
3. The outlet. No outlet fitting is listed for this tank. Tell us the drain size and valve you need and we confirm the fitting at the cone with Snyder.
4. The level. A black wall does not show the liquid line; plan a gauge or a float indicator.
5. Containment. If the site needs it, see our Snyder Captor containment comparison.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 400 from Chowchilla, CA, 95 by 95 by 120 inches at 612 lb. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP. A forklift with some reach, or a small crane, and a couple of helpers will set it. At arrival, check 8360000N49 against the bill of lading, look at the cone tip and the manway before you sign, and fill it with water the first time, in its stand. Call 866-418-1777 with any question about the site or the liquid.
