The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank holds 3,000 gallons in a single upright footprint and ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, quoted live to your ZIP. Molded from white polyethylene with a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, it stands 111 inches tall on a roughly 90 x 96 inch base, carries a full water load of 25,020 pounds, and is rated to hold contents weighing up to 37,530 pounds. Those two weight numbers — and the 12,510 pounds of reserve between them — are what you design your pad and your purchase around.
Will this 3000 gallon vertical tank work for your site?
This is a vertical storage tank built for bulk water where vertical height is acceptable and floor space is at a premium. The base spans roughly 90 to 96 inches across and the tank stands 111 inches tall, so confirm both the pad dimensions and overhead clearance against your install location before delivery — a tank this tall often needs a door, gate, or covered-structure opening measured in advance against its diameter, not a rectangular L x W. For water service such as irrigation, rainwater, livestock, or fire-reserve storage you are comfortably within rating. Review the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and overall dimensions, and run your volume against our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between this and another capacity.
Sizing weight and full-load planning
At full water capacity this Snyder vertical tank weighs 25,020 pounds, and at its maximum rated 1.5 specific-gravity load it reaches 37,530 pounds. Concentrate that mass on a base engineered for it — a level, full-contact concrete or compacted pad sized to the footprint, never on uneven ground or partial support, which is the most common and most expensive mistake on a 3000 gallon storage tank. For remote and rural fire-reserve installs, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze-protection engineering for cold-climate service — both matter when this much stored water is your protection reserve.
The 1.5 SG headroom — and the mistake to avoid
Order the right tank for the liquid, not just the volume. The gap between the 25,020-pound full-water weight and the 37,530-pound maximum rating is 12,510 pounds of reserve: this Snyder vertical is built to carry fluids up to 1.5 times the density of water, so for many fertilizers, brines, and heavier-than-water liquids you stay within rating without stepping up to a heavier-wall unit. Specific gravity, not gallons, governs whether a tank is safe for a given fluid — spec your contents by weight and confirm against the 1.5 rating before you buy. If you are weighing alternate footprints in the same 3000-gallon class, compare this unit against our buyer's guides for the 102 x 93 and 95 x 109 configurations, where height and diameter trade off against your overhead and pad constraints.
This 3000 gallon vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from Chowchilla, California, quoted live to your ZIP code — and on a 25,000-pound tank, freight is a major cost driver worth pricing early.
