The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is built for high-volume water and liquid storage where a tall, square-footprint vertical tank fits the site. It holds 3000 gallons, stands 111 inches tall on a 96 x 96 inch footprint, and is molded in white HDPE with an ASTM-certified build. Carrying a 1.9 specific gravity rating, this Snyder vertical storage tank handles liquids heavier than water within its rated range, which is what separates it from a basic water-only vertical tank.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this 3000 gallon tank weighs about 25,020 pounds, so the slab or compacted pad under the 96 x 96 inch footprint has to be engineered for that load. The 1.9 SG rating means the shell is sized for contents up to roughly 47,538 pounds, so if you ever run a denser liquid the foundation must be designed to that heavier figure, not the water weight. The tank is equipped with a flange for bulk fill and draw piping, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented opening for venting and gauging, and a manway with a 15-inch access for interior entry, cleaning, and inspection. The pack does not list thread or gasket sizes, so confirm fitting positions, elevations, and connection details against the technical drawing on this page before you set piping or source gaskets and bulkhead fittings to match. If you are still matching capacity to your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide first.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank like this is treating the 1.9 specific gravity rating as a license to store anything. The rating governs density and weight, not chemical resistance. For ordinary water service it is more capacity headroom than you will ever use, but if you are moving toward a denser or more aggressive liquid, verify both the SG of your contents and the wall-thickness behavior at the vapor-saturated headspace before you commit. Our guide on HDPE tank wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace walks through the ASTM D1998 sizing logic operators need to understand. If your application also requires secondary containment, look at a double-wall design instead of relying on a single-wall tank; the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing guide covers how that containment is sized. For straight water service, the 3000 gallon vertical storage tank buyer's guide covers how these units get specified, and if this tank is headed for rural or remote fire reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline.
Freight
This 3000 gallon vertical tank ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Because of its 111-inch height and 96 x 96 inch footprint, it moves as oversized LTL freight, so get an exact number through the Freight Cost Estimator before you finalize.
