Snyder Industries 60 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A working tank you can read at a glance

Sixty gallons is the size of a chemical station that gets topped up from a tote or drums: detergent or pre-soak at a car wash or a truck wash bay, a cleaning solution in a food plant, a treatment chemical in a boiler room or a cooling tower plant, or a mix tank for a spray rig. The reason to choose natural white is the visible level. Nobody has to open a lid or find a dip stick, and a tank that runs low gets noticed on the walk past. The cross-linked wall is the one for the harder chemistries; our note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty explains when to choose it. The 1.9 rating takes dense solutions as well as water. Check your chemical and its strength in our chemical compatibility guide before you order.

A translucent wall also lets light in. Indoors that rarely matters; in direct sun, a liquid that is sensitive to light or that grows algae belongs in the black version below. Leave room at the top for expansion as the liquid warms; our guide to freeboard and the volume you can actually use shows how much.

What to check before you buy

1. Fittings. The outlet and lid on 5680000N42 are not listed on this page. Tell us where the pump suction or drain goes and the size, and we will confirm what comes on the tank.
2. The floor. Up to about 951 lb on a 26 inch circle needs a flat, level, solid base with nothing under the floor of the tank. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers slabs.
3. Containment. If the chemical is one your site has to contain, set the tank in a tray or a bunded area that holds the full 60 gallons.
4. Listings. If an inspector or a spec asks for a listing, ask us for the written statement for this part number.
5. The drawing. The technical drawing for 5680000N42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, as a 26 by 26 by 40 inch load weighing 26 lb. It goes through a standard door, and one person can carry it. 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. At the tailgate, check 5680000N42 on the bill of lading against the tank label, look the base and the top over for transit damage, and note any damage before you sign. Fill it with water first and run the pump on water to check every connection.
