The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU SII-8160000N43) is a 3,000-gallon vertical storage tank molded in white high density linear polyethylene, rated to 1.5 specific gravity, and carrying ASTM certification. It stands 127 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, so plan your pad, your tilt-up room, and your overhead clearance around those numbers before delivery. If you are working through capacity and density math for a water or process-liquid install, the buyer questions below are answered straight from this vertical storage tank's spec sheet and technical drawing.
Will it work for your install?
This is a single vertical HDPE tank built for liquid storage and rated to 1.5 specific gravity, which means it covers water and heavier-than-water liquids up to that density. That rating is the buying decision here: if your fluid is denser than water, confirm its specific gravity against this tank's 1.5 rating rather than assuming you need to step to a different tank. Full of water at SG 1.0, it holds 25,020 pounds of contents; at its maximum rated contents weight the load reaches 37,530 pounds. The footprint is 90.0 x 90.0 inches and the overall height is 127 inches. Fittings shown on the technical drawing include a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access. The 18-inch vented fitting matters for any tank that fills or draws fast, since a sealed vertical tank can pull or push pressure without adequate venting, so confirm vent sizing against your fill rate. The 15-inch manway access governs whether your pump, level sensor, or interior tool fits through it, so verify your accessory diameters against that opening. Note that some gallonage marks may be removed where a fitting is placed, so confirm the fitting layout against the drawing on this page. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 3000-gallon vertical tank matches your daily draw and refill cycle.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this size is designing the foundation for water weight when the stored liquid is denser. This Snyder vertical tank is rated to 1.5 specific gravity, but the difference between the full-water figure of 25,020 pounds and the maximum rated contents weight of 37,530 pounds is real structural load. Calculate the contents weight at your actual liquid's specific gravity and confirm both the pad and any saddle or ring wall are engineered to it. The same density drives the wall: HDPE wall thickness is sized to the stored liquid's density per ASTM D1998, which is exactly why a denser liquid changes the engineering. The HDPE tank wall thickness guide walks through where premature failures originate at the vapor-saturated headspace and why liquid-side inspection alone can miss them. Buyers comparing the full 3000-gallon vertical liquid storage range will also find the 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank buyer's guide useful for matching dimensions to your site. If this is going in as a fire-water reservoir on a rural or remote site, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, with the rate quoted live to your ZIP code. Because a 3000-gallon vertical tank stands 127 inches tall, vertical clearance and tilt-up room at the offload are the most common delivery surprise, so report your site access along with your ZIP when you call. Freight is its own line and is never bundled into the list price. Get your exact number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you and walk through delivery, offload, and lead time. Have your ZIP and any access details ready and we will get you a real freight figure before you order.
