The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a full-size bulk water storage vessel molded from high density linear polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating. At 96 inches in diameter and 109 inches tall, it holds 3,000 gallons on a 96.0 x 96.0 inch footprint - a true vertical storage tank built for rural water systems, agricultural supply, fire reserve, and industrial process holding. The 1.5 SG rating means the shell carries structural headroom beyond plain water duty, but it is a water-service tank: confirm chemical compatibility before storing anything other than water.
Will this 3000 gallon tank work for your site?
Plan your pad and plumbing around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 25,020 pounds; loaded to its full 1.5 SG structural rating it reaches about 37,530 pounds of contents. That is real structural load - your concrete pad or compacted base needs to support the full 96 x 96 inch footprint evenly, with no point loading under the floor. The 109 inch height means you should confirm overhead clearance for the fill line and lid access before delivery. For help matching capacity to your draw and refill cycle, use our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. Dimensional callouts, fitting locations, and lid placement are shown on the technical drawing on this page - check it against your manifold layout before you order.
Fittings and outlet
This listing does not carry a published fitting schedule, so bulkhead size, outlet placement, and gasket material are details to lock down before you commit. For a vertical tank this size, those are the spec choices that determine whether the tank drops cleanly into your manifold. Confirm the outlet and gasket against the technical drawing on this page and your stored fluid, then call 866-418-1777 to spec them before ordering.
How it ships
This is an LTL freight item, quoted live to your ZIP code - we do not bake freight into the listed price. It ships from the Albertville, AL Snyder plant; final origin is confirmed at quote, since that city drives your freight number. A 3,000 gallon tank is an oversize unit, so delivery is typically curbside on a flatbed or liftgate truck - have equipment and hands ready to offload. Get an exact freight number before you commit by running your ZIP through our Freight Cost Estimator or calling 866-418-1777.
The mistake to avoid
Do not undersize the foundation. The single most common error on a tank this size is setting it on an unprepared or uneven base, then watching one side settle once it is full and pushing 25,000-plus pounds. Build the pad to carry the full rated load across the entire footprint. Second, mind the SG: this shell is rated to 1.5 specific gravity, so if you ever move off water to a heavier liquid, confirm your fluid's specific gravity falls at or under 1.5 and that it is chemically compatible with HDLPE before filling. White is the standard color here, which keeps interior light down compared to translucent shells.
Questions on dimensions, fittings, or lead time on this 3000 gallon vertical tank? This unit is the 96 x 109 configuration; our buyer's guides cover alternate 3000-gallon footprints such as the 95 x 109 and 102 x 93 variants for tighter-clearance or lower-height sites - compare them in the 3000 gallon vertical tank buyer's guide.
