The Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon XLPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a cross-linked polyethylene vertical tank built for high-density liquid duty, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity and certified to ASTM. At 127 inches tall on a 90-inch diameter footprint, it holds 3,000 gallons in a white XLPE shell, and the 1.9 SG rating is the reason to look at this vertical storage tank over a standard HDPE vertical: it is engineered to carry contents far heavier than water, up to roughly 47,538 pounds of rated maximum contents.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with plain water, this tank carries about 25,020 pounds, so the slab and pad below it have to be rated for that load before you ever account for a denser liquid. The 90 x 90 inch footprint is what your foundation and any containment ring need to clear, and you should plan overhead clearance above the 127-inch shell for the top-mounted 18-inch vent/fill fitting and 15-inch manway access. Cross-linked polyethylene supports the 1.9 SG rating, allowing the tank to hold liquids denser than water, so match your liquid's specific gravity against that 1.9 number before ordering and call 866-418-1777 to confirm chemical compatibility for your specific contents. If you are sizing the pad, fill rate, or comparing this to other vertical tanks, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and configuration
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a flange fitting, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for entry and inspection. Note that some gallonage marks may be removed where fittings are placed, so confirm your outlet and vent positions against the drawing before you plumb the tank. Confirm against the drawing which fittings ship installed versus field-added, and whether gaskets and bulkhead hardware are included, before scheduling your plumber, and verify the layout matches your intended inlet, outlet, and vent plan.
How it ships
This Snyder XLPE vertical tank ships LTL freight from the single Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, so West Coast and Northeast deliveries carry longer LTL transit time you should factor into your install schedule. Because freight on a tank this size depends on your delivery ZIP and site access, we quote it live rather than baking it into the list price; the empty shipping weight used for the LTL quote is confirmed at order, not the 25,020-pound full-water or 47,538-pound max-rated figures above. Get a real number for your address with the Freight Cost Estimator or call us at 866-418-1777, and we will line up the LTL carrier and any liftgate or limited-access needs.
