The Snyder Industries 60 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank stands 40" tall on a compact 26" x 26" footprint and holds 60 gallons in a polyethylene shell rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. That high SG rating is the headline spec: most water-service vertical tanks are rated around 1.5 SG, but this Snyder is built to a 1.9 rating, which means it carries denser liquids than water with margin to spare. A full charge of plain water weighs about 500 lbs, while the shell is rated to a 951 lb maximum contents weight. If your service ever shifts to a denser liquid that stays under 1.9 SG, the same tank carries it up to that 951 lb ceiling without a re-buy.
Will it work for your install?
The numbers a buyer needs are right here. The tank measures 40" high by 26" wide and 26" long, so it clears a standard 26"-wide doorway and sits inside a tight 26" x 26" footprint when pad space is limited. This Snyder vertical storage tank is built to the ASTM D1998 sizing logic that governs HDPE vertical wall thickness, which is where the 1.9 SG and 951 lb contents ratings come from. For access planning, the technical drawing on this page shows two distinct openings doing two jobs: a 14" PE threaded and vented fitting for your fill and vent path, plus a manway with 11-3/8" access for cleanout and inspection. If you are unsure whether 60 gallons suits your draw-down or refill cycle, run it through our Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Freight: how it ships and what to expect
This vertical tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, to your delivery ZIP. Because freight on a 40"-tall HDPE storage tank depends on your ZIP and dock situation, we quote it live rather than bundling it into the list price. Pull an exact number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work it out with you. Plan for a curbside LTL delivery and have a way to offload at the destination.
The mistake to avoid
Match more than the gallon size. The 1.9 SG rating covers the shell's load, but it does not cover what your liquid touches at the connections. Before you order, confirm the gasket and seal material on the 14" PE threaded fitting and the 11-3/8" manway are suited to your liquid and temperature, not just that your SG sits under 1.9. The shell handling the weight and the gaskets handling the contact are two separate checks. Confirm the 14" threaded-and-vented fitting and the 11-3/8" manway access shown on the drawing match your plumbing and cleanout plan up front, because retrofitting connections on a vertical tank after delivery is far more work than getting it right the first time. If you are sizing for fire-water reservoir or freeze-protected service, the NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir guide and the HDPE wall-thickness and ASTM D1998 sizing piece are worth a read.
