The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDLPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is built for dense, aggressive liquids, carrying a specific gravity rating of 1.9 - this is the heavy-duty SG envelope, not the 1.5 SG rating common on standard 3000-gallon verticals. Molded in white HDLPE on a 102 x 102 inch footprint and standing 96 inches tall, it holds 3,000 gallons. The sulfuric-resin system is matched to dense contents rather than ordinary water service, so size this vertical storage tank by weight, not just by gallons.
Will this Snyder vertical tank handle your liquid?
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number that decides this purchase. Filled with plain water, this 3000 gallon vertical tank carries roughly 25,020 pounds; at its maximum rated contents weight it is engineered to hold up to 47,538 pounds. That headroom is what lets it store liquids substantially denser than water. To check your own contents, divide your liquid's weight per gallon by 8.34 - if the result lands at or below 1.9, you are inside this tank's envelope. Run the full load through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you buy. Exact dimensions and the outlet layout are on the technical drawing on this page - check it against your pad and plumbing first.
Foundation and fittings
With a full-water load over 25,000 pounds and a maximum contents load near 47,500 pounds, the foundation does the real work. A flat, fully supporting, level concrete pad sized to the 102 x 102 inch footprint is the right base for a vertical tank carrying loads in this range; lay it out from the dimensions on the technical drawing before delivery. On fittings, confirm outlet and bulkhead sizes against that drawing, and match gasket material to your stored chemical at the time of quote - gasket compatibility is a separate question from the tank wall, and for dense or aggressive service it pays to get the gasket call right before you order. Call 866-418-1777 and we will work the fitting and gasket selection with you.
Freight from the plant nearest you
A 3000 gallon vertical tank ships LTL, never by parcel. Snyder produces this tank at three plants - Chowchilla, CA; Lincoln, NE; and Philippi, WV - a West, Central, and East footprint that puts most of the lower 48 within one freight zone of a Snyder facility, which matters on a shipment over 25,000 pounds. We route from the plant nearest you to keep your freight down, and freight is quoted live to your ZIP. Get your number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the closest plant. If you are still comparing other 3000-gallon vertical layouts, our buyer's guides cover the 102 x 93 configuration and the 95 x 109 configuration, and for reserve and fire service see our fire-water reservoir design guide. Listed before freight - call 866-418-1777 with your liquid and ZIP and we will confirm the right tank and your freight route.
