Snyder Industries 6000 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A heavy wall you can reach the top of

Several Snyder 6,000 gallon tanks carry similar names, so order by the part number, 7140300N51, and the 120 inch diameter. At 145 inches tall this one fits under many shed roofs and canopies, the manway is a short fixed ladder away, and a wide base keeps it steady. The 1.9 wall is built for dense liquids: liquid fertilizer concentrates at a farm supply yard, brine, and heavier water treatment chemicals. For water or light solutions, compare the standard black version of this shell, which we also list, or the natural 6000 gallon XLPE vertical tank 7140300N40 in the same shell. Plan the pad for the full load. At the rating, up to 95,076 lb rests on the 120 inch circle, so the slab must be level and in full contact with the base; our concrete pad sizing guide walks through it, and containment goes around it where the liquid is regulated. At 1,500 lb empty it still needs anchors before the first fill. Dense liquids that warm in the sun need headroom; the freeboard sizing article shows how much of the 6,000 gallons to plan on filling.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Specific gravity 1.9 or less and service temperature at or below 120 F; a black tank in full sun runs warm, so shade it if the liquid is stored near the limit. Check the chemistry in our chemical compatibility guide.
2. The outlet. Only the manway is listed. Tell us the liquid and the pipe size and we will confirm a bottom fitting and its material before anything is drilled. Support the valve separately and connect with a flexible coupling.
3. The manway. 18 inch, threaded and vented. Route the vent away from work areas if the liquid gives off fumes.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships at freight class 300, 120 by 120 by 145 inches and 1,500 lb, from Chowchilla, California. At 120 inches across it moves as an oversize load, so check the gate and the path to the pad. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, and if it cannot price a tank this size, call us and we will. Lift with straps around the body, never from the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number against 7140300N51 on the bill of lading and walk round the tank for transit damage. Fill it with water first, hold it a day, and check the base and fittings before the working liquid goes in.
