The Snyder Industries 4500 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a high-capacity vertical vessel built for serious bulk water and rated-liquid duty. Molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene in black, it stands 142 inches tall on a 102 x 102 inch square footprint and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating. That combination of real volume and wall strength is why buyers searching for a black Snyder vertical storage tank land here when they need 4,500 gallons in a single vessel.
Will it work for your site?
The tank holds 4,500 gallons. Full of water, contents weigh about 37,530 pounds; the tank is rated to hold liquids up to roughly 71,307 pounds at its 1.9 specific gravity rating. That is close to 1.9 times the density of water, and that margin is your proof the walls are built to carry denser fluids well beyond plain water. Before you set it, confirm your pad can carry a fully loaded tank: a 102 x 102 inch base, 142 inches tall, roughly 37,530 pounds operating on water and up to about 71,307 pounds at maximum rated contents. A tall, heavy vertical needs a level, engineered base to sit safely. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity and drawdown to your demand, and review our concrete pad sizing framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks before you pour. See the technical drawing on this page for dimensional detail.
How does it ship?
This is an LTL freight item, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from the nearest Snyder plant to your delivery point: Chowchilla, California or Lincoln, Nebraska. Because a tank this size sets its freight class by dimensions, the origin closest to you usually gives the best rate, and our Freight Estimator auto-routes the quote to the nearer plant. Fitting and outlet configuration is not listed in this record, so confirm your port layout by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order.
The mistake to avoid
Don't undersize the foundation or overlook the specific gravity rating. The 1.9 rating tells you the heaviest liquid density the walls are built to handle; if you store anything heavier than water, work within that limit and never exceed it. Note the material is High Density Linear Polyethylene, not crosslinked polyethylene, which matters when you match the resin to your service. For a private fire-protection reservoir, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and if you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains.
