Snyder Industries 5600 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

The lowest 5600 gallons Snyder makes

This tank is wider than it is tall: 142 inches across and 102 inches high, so the manway sits at eight and a half feet and a fill line and a vent land under a ceiling that rules out almost every other tank of this volume. The price of the shape is floor, nearly twelve feet of it, so walk the route from the truck to the pad before you order. The 1.9 wall is what separates it from the standard version of the same shell: brines, concentrates and dense process solutions need it; water and most fertilizers do not. Crosslinked polyethylene resists chemistry that softens ordinary polyethylene, and our note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty explains where the line falls. A liquid that expands as it warms needs freeboard above the working level; in a short, wide shell a few inches of freeboard is a lot of gallons, and the freeboard sizing note shows how much of the 5600 gallons is usable. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.

A wide floor spreads the load but does not shrink it. At the rating 88,738 lb bears on a 142 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor follows the concrete rather than bridging it, so build the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact across the whole circle, inside a berm sized to the tank wherever the liquid is regulated. Where the tank is part of a rural fire supply, the fire water reservoir design guide covers sizing and freeze protection.

Openings and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, reachable from a short step on this shell. Size the vent to the delivery pump: the air displaced by 5600 gallons has to leave as fast as the liquid arrives.
2. Fill. Run a dip tube to the floor rather than a hose over the rim; free fall foams the headspace and wets the upper wall where vapour concentrates.
3. Outlet. This listing does not state an installed outlet fitting. Tell us the liquid, the size and material you need and where the drain lands, and we will confirm with Snyder what comes on the tank and what is added.
4. Temperature. 140 F (60 C) is the service limit. A hot process liquid, or a tank in direct summer sun near that limit, needs a conversation first.
5. Drawing. Snyder's drawing is linked on this page under Technical Drawing, with the fitting locations and the exact profile for your pad layout.

The 5250000 shell and its neighbours

Same shell, lighter wall for water and light liquids: the 5600 gallon 5250000N40. In black, which keeps light off the contents, the choices are the 5600 gallon black heavy duty 5250000N48 and the 5600 gallon black 5250000N46. If the roof is not the limit, the 5500 gallon 7000000N40 is a standard wall tank in a different body, and one step up for a dense liquid the 6000 gallon black heavy duty 7000000C34.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Philippi, West Virginia plant, 142 by 142 by 102 inches on the truck at 1,350 lb. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. A tank this wide is oversize freight; it needs a crane or a large forklift and a clear landing spot at the address. At the tailgate, check 5250000N42 against the bill of lading, look over the whole wall and the floor edge for transit damage, and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything dense.
