Snyder Industries 60 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where a 60 gallon heavy duty tank earns its place

Sixty gallons is a working tank, not a reserve. It is the size that sits beside a metering pump at a treatment skid, holds a concentrate on a finishing line, or rides along as a mix tank for a small spray rig. At 26 inches across it fits through a standard door and onto most shop benches, and at 40 inches tall the top stays within reach for hand filling.

The reason to choose this tank over a lighter one is the 1.9 rating. A liquid nearly twice the weight of water puts nearly twice the load on the wall and on whatever the tank stands on. If what you are storing is water or something close to it, the heavy duty wall is margin you may not need. If it is dense, this is the wall you want. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide before it goes in, and call us if it is not listed.

Black matters for two reasons: it stops algae in stored water, and it protects liquids that break down in sunlight. The trade is that a black wall hides the level and warms in the sun, so keep it out of direct afternoon light where the 120 F limit could come into play.

What to check before you buy

1. The base. Full of a 1.9 liquid this tank weighs close to half a ton on a 26 inch circle. Stand it on a flat, level surface that touches the whole bottom, never on three or four blocks. Our concrete pad sizing guide explains why.
2. The openings. No outlet or lid size is listed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connection you need and we will confirm the openings from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
3. The level. You cannot see the liquid through a black wall, so plan a sight tube, a float gauge or a dipstick from the start.
4. Headroom. Leave space at the top for a liquid that warms after filling; our freeboard and usable volume guide shows the method.
5. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5680000N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The name carries Snyder's ASTM heavy duty designation. No ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here, so if your specification calls one out, ask us and we will confirm it in writing with Snyder. Size the volume against your draw and refill interval with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, 26 by 26 by 40 inches and 26 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 5680000N51 on the bill of lading, look over the wall and base for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Fill it with water first, leave it a day, and check the base and fittings before it carries anything else.
