The Snyder Industries 60 Gallon vertical storage tank is molded in ASTM XLPE (crosslinked linear polyethylene) with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which on a water-service tank means real weight headroom rather than a bare-minimum shell. It stands 40 inches tall on a compact 26 x 26 inch footprint, so it fits tight equipment rooms, trailer decks, and pump skids without needing a wide pad. Filled with water it weighs about 500 lb all in, and its structure is rated to carry contents up to 951 lb — so read those two figures as the working range, not a discrepancy.
Will it work for your setup?
This is a black vertical storage tank with a molded-in 14" PE threaded and vented lid and a manway with 11-3/8" access for reach-in cleaning and inspection. The 40-inch height and square 26 x 26 inch base make it a straightforward drop-in for indoor and outdoor static storage, and the black wall blocks light to discourage algae in stored water. It shows up under searches like vertical storage tank, XLPE storage tank, and Snyder vertical tank for exactly this reason. If you are not sure 60 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and cross-check the method in the Tank Sizing Guide.
The detail to get right: rating and sealing points
The 1.9 specific gravity rating is what lets this tank carry up to that 951 lb ceiling, and crosslinked polyethylene resists stress cracking better than standard linear HDPE, so it stands up to duty a lighter-wall tank is not built for — the trade-offs are covered in Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: When Crosslinking Matters. The two openings to plan around are the 14" PE lid, which is threaded and vented (so it is an access and vent point, not a sealed pressure fitting), and the manway with 11-3/8" access. Gasket-match whatever you store to those points before you fill. Full dimensions and fitting placement are on the technical drawing on this page. For outdoor and remote static-storage or reserve-water builds, our rural fire-water reservoir and freeze-protection guide walks through sizing and cold-climate detailing.
Freight and how it ships
