The Snyder Industries 4500 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank holds 4,500 gallons in a black, crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) shell built to ASTM standards and rated to 1.4 specific gravity. It measures 91 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint, a wide, low-profile vertical tank sized for bulk water, fire-water reserve, rainwater aggregation, and industrial process storage. Because the footprint is broad relative to the height, confirm your pad clears the full 143-inch diameter and check overhead clearance for fill hardware above the 91-inch top before you commit a site.
Will it work on your site?
Plan the foundation around loaded weight, not empty weight. Filled with plain water at 1.0 specific gravity, this storage tank carries about 37,530 pounds; at its full 1.4 SG rating the contents can reach roughly 52,542 pounds. That is more than 26 tons over a 143 x 143 inch base, so a level, properly engineered concrete pad is not optional. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 4,500 gallons matches your draw and refill cycle. Dimensions here come from the manufacturer; for outlet and fitting placement, see the technical drawing on this page.
The mistake to avoid
Treat the 1.4 SG rating as a structural ceiling for contents density, not a green light for any liquid. Plain water sits at 1.0 SG, so this black tank runs with generous margin for fire-water reservoirs and rainwater reuse trains. If you are weighing a heavier liquid, verify its working specific gravity against the 1.4 rating first, and call us before you fill. For fire-protection duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide pairs that 37,530-pound water reserve with NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide maps quality-banded storage trains.
Freight and ordering
This vertical tank ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Chowchilla, California, quoted live to your ZIP code. Given its size and weight, freight is quoted per destination rather than listed as a flat rate. Run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator for a quote, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm details and make sure this 4,500-gallon storage tank is the right fit for your project.
