The Snyder Industries 4500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) bulk storage vessel built to ASTM standards, rated to a specific gravity of 1.5 and molded in natural white so you can read the liquid level at a glance without opening a lid or fitting a sight tube. Standing 142 inches tall on a 102 x 102-inch footprint, this vertical tank holds 4,500 gallons and is engineered for high-density water and liquid storage where a rugged, long-service reservoir is required.
Will it work for your site?
Size the pad and the plumbing to the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water this tank carries roughly 37,530 lb; at its full 1.5 specific gravity rating it can hold up to 56,295 lb of contents. That number drives your concrete pad thickness and reinforcement, so run it through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour. For above-ground installs, our guide on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework walks through the load path from the tank base into the slab. The 102 x 102-inch footprint and 142-inch height also need to clear doorways, gates, and any overhead obstruction on the delivery route, so check the technical drawing on this page against your site access.
The 1.5 specific gravity rating is the detail people miss
A 1.5 SG rating in a crosslinked polyethylene wall means this tank is built for liquids heavier than water, which is exactly why the XLPE resin matters here versus a lighter linear tank. The full-water weight and the maximum rated contents weight are two different numbers for a reason: if you plan to store anything denser than water, size your foundation, freeboard, and anchoring to the 56,295 lb figure, not the 37,530 lb water figure. Confirm the specific gravity of your actual stored liquid against the 1.5 rating before you commit. Because this is a Snyder XLPE vertical storage tank, our write-up on Snyder freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 explains how density and thermal expansion cut into the volume you can actually use. For fire-water reservoir and rural water-supply duty, our fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing guide covers freeze protection, and the industrial water reuse tank topology guide helps if this is part of a grey-water, rainwater, or condensate aggregation train.
Freight on a 4,500-gallon vertical tank
A tank this size ships LTL freight on a dedicated pallet, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships from the nearest Snyder plant to you: Chowchilla, CA or Lincoln, NE. West-of-the-Rockies destinations generally quote against Chowchilla and Central and Eastern ZIPs against Lincoln, so your delivery number tracks the closer plant. Because the list price does not include freight, get an exact figure for your address with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote this vertical storage tank to your destination and confirm delivery access for a unit this tall.
