The Snyder Industries 550 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in white is built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real capacity on a fully supported pad. It carries 550 gallons in a white polyethylene body with a 64 x 64 inch footprint, listed at 64 inches wide and 46 inches tall in this record. Confirm the exact diameter and silhouette against the technical drawing on this page before you build the base, because the two numbers that drive every decision here are weight: full of water this tank holds roughly 4,587 pounds, and at its specific gravity 1.5 rating it can carry contents up to about 6,880 pounds.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your job
Start with clearance and load. The listing gives 64 inches across the 64 x 64 inch footprint and 46 inches of height, so check your gate, doorway, and pad against those numbers before ordering. The structural story is the specific gravity rating: at 1.5 SG this shell handles liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water without de-rating, so brine, fertilizer solutions, and many ag and industrial liquids are within its rated load. Plain water uses only about two-thirds of that rated wall load, which means real headroom if you ever switch to a denser liquid in the same tank. If you are still settling on capacity, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit - right-sizing on paper is far cheaper than swapping a tank later.
Sizing this 550 into a larger system
At 550 gallons this storage tank slots between smaller utility tanks and the full-height verticals. If your need runs larger or smaller, our buyer's guides walk the same vertical tank family at other capacities - the 500 gallon vertical, the 300 gallon vertical, and the taller 2000 gallon vertical that shares the 64-inch width. For rural fire-protection and reserve-water duty, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers how polyethylene verticals fit into the larger stack and how to plan for freeze protection in cold climates.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this heavy is underbuilding the base. A full Snyder vertical concentrates roughly 4,587 pounds onto a 64 x 64 inch footprint, and at the 1.5 SG rating that load climbs toward 6,880 pounds with denser liquids - engineer the pad for the heavier number if you will ever store anything denser than water. Set it on a fully supported, level, continuous pad, never on bare soil, blocks, or a partial frame. White is the standard color for this Snyder vertical. One more credibility check before you plumb it: fitting sizes, bulkhead locations, and gasket specs are not published in this listing, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm inlet, outlet, and gasket details before you cut any pipe.
