The Snyder Industries 5800 Gallon Open Top Batch Storage Tank is a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cylindrical vessel built for high-density bulk batching and open-access water storage. It stands 125 inches tall (10 ft 5 in) on a 120 x 120 inch footprint (a full 10 ft x 10 ft pad) and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning the wall is engineered to hold contents far heavier than water. The open-top design gives you full overhead access for manual additions, mixing, and inspection on this white open top storage tank.
Will it work for your application?
Filled completely with plain water, this 5800-gallon tank holds roughly 48,372 pounds of contents. Because it is rated to 1.9 specific gravity, the wall is qualified for a maximum rated contents weight of 91,907 pounds, so the tank can be filled to full volume with liquids up to 1.9 SG (about 15.85 lb per gallon). That converts the abstract rating into a go/no-go number: weigh your batched liquid's density against 1.9 SG and 91,907 pounds before you commit. The 1.9 SG rating is the headline reason to choose this Snyder build over a standard water-weight open top tank, and cross-linked polyethylene gives a tougher, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall than standard linear polyethylene at this volume.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest planning error on a tank this size is the foundation. At nearly 92,000 pounds fully loaded at maximum rated density, the 10 ft x 10 ft footprint has to carry that load evenly. An open-top tank must sit on a level, continuously supported pad sized for that weight. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks of this scale. The second error is assuming an outlet or fitting layout: no fitting configuration is listed for this tank, so confirm outlet size and location against the technical drawing on this page or by phone before you order rather than counting on a particular bulkhead or valve. If you are still confirming volume, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you match capacity to your batch schedule.
Freight
This tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder Industries plant in Lincoln, NE, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Because of its 10 ft 5 in height and 10 ft x 10 ft footprint, plan for an oversized LTL delivery and a way to offload at the site. For larger raw-water reservoir feed staging and reuse programs, our notes on industrial water reuse tank topology help map storage into a treatment train. Get an exact freight number with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the run to your delivery address.
