The Snyder Industries 4900 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a large-format bulk vertical built in ASTM XLPE (crosslinked linear polyethylene) with a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, standing 202 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint in Natural White. It is a stationary reservoir sized for high-volume water storage where you need real capacity in a single vessel, and it ships LTL from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, freight quoted live to your ZIP. If you are weighing this against smaller verticals, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to the footprint.
Will it hold what you need
Filled with plain water this tank carries roughly 40,866 pounds, and its 1.5 SG rating gives it a maximum rated contents weight of about 61,299 pounds. Read that number as structural headroom and safety margin, not as an invitation to store denser liquids in a water tank: the crosslinked wall is engineered to carry contents well past the weight of the water you will actually put in it. For a round 90-inch-diameter tank that clears 202 inches at the top, plan your fill height, overflow, and access around a fixed vertical that will not be moved once it is set.
Fittings, venting, and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this Snyder vertical is configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, a 2-3 inch S.U.M.O. fitting, a 12 x 14 inch fitting, and a flat fitting. The manway with 15-inch access gives you a top entry point for inspection and interior work. Treat the 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting as a hard install requirement, not a passing detail: a tank this size must be vented during fill and draw-down, and that vent must stay unobstructed to prevent collapse or pressurization. Flanged and bulkhead-style connections like the flange and the S.U.M.O. fitting seal with a gasket at install, so confirm the correct gasket and seal are included or specced separately. Verify fitting positions and outlet heights against the drawing before you set your plumbing, since fitting layout drives your pad and manifold design.
Siting a tank this size
A vessel that carries over 20 tons when full of water has to sit on a properly designed base sized to its 90 x 90 inch footprint. Read our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks before pouring, and if this tank is feeding a rural or remote water supply, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For reuse and aggregation setups, the industrial water reuse topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and condensate storage trains.
This XLPE vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from Lincoln, Nebraska, quoted live to your ZIP. Because of its size and weight, it moves as a dedicated freight shipment rather than parcel. Get a freight number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777, and we will quote the freight to your delivery ZIP and confirm offload requirements before the truck rolls.
