The Snyder Industries 4500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black polyethylene vertical storage tank built to the ASTM standard for above-ground polyethylene tanks and rated to 1.4 specific gravity. It stands 91 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint, making it a large-volume vertical tank for water storage, rainwater capture, fire-water reserve, and general bulk-liquid holding on a fixed pad.
Will this tank work for my site?
Filled with 4,500 gallons of plain water, this tank carries roughly 37,530 pounds of contents, and its 1.4 SG structural rating allows a maximum rated contents weight of about 52,542 pounds. That 1.4 rating is a load rating for denser contents, not extra usable volume, so the weight your foundation must carry is substantial regardless of what you store. Size the concrete pad to the full loaded weight, never the empty tank, and set it dead level across the whole 143 x 143 inch footprint. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground poly tanks. To confirm 4,500 gallons matches your draw-and-refill cycle, run the numbers in our Tank Sizing Calculator or review the Tank Sizing Guide. If you are aggregating rainwater or reclaimed water into this vertical tank, our industrial water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate storage trains.
Common sizing mistake to avoid
The most common error on a black vertical storage tank this large is planning to the nameplate capacity rather than the usable capacity. Freeboard and draw-down mean you never work with the full 4,500 gallons in practice, and for fire-water service that gap decides whether you meet your required flow duration. Our freeboard sizing guide per ASTM D1998 shows how to calculate the real volume you can draw, and the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
Freight and how it ships
This Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Chowchilla, California plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. A tank this size moves as an oversized freight item, so pull a real number for your delivery address before you order. Use the Freight Cost Estimator for a quote to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work the freight and delivery details with you. Confirm exact dimensions and fitting configuration against the technical drawing on this page, or by phone, before you pour your pad or order gaskets.
