The Snyder Industries 6000 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank (Snyder part 7430000N42) is a crosslinked-polyethylene (XLPE) vertical tank, an ASTM XLPE heavy-duty build rated to a 1.9 specific gravity so it handles dense contents most water tanks never see. At 188 inches tall on a 102 x 102-inch footprint, it holds 6,000 gallons in a Natural White wall that lets you read the liquid level from outside. If you are shopping XLPE storage tanks, this is the large-format Snyder vertical tank in the line.
Will this tank work for your site?
Full of water, this tank carries roughly 50,040 lb; loaded to its full 1.9 SG rating, contents can reach about 95,076 lb. Plan the pad and anchoring for the higher number if you ever intend to store anything heavier than water, not just the water weight. It sits on a 102.0 x 102.0-inch square footprint, so lay out a level concrete pad sized accordingly before delivery. At 188 in (about 15.7 ft) tall, confirm overhead clearance for offload and a standing site with room to work around it. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm capacity, freeboard, and pad dimensions for your application, and the guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework.
Fittings and configuration
Per the technical drawing on this page, this tank comes configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, a manway with 15-inch access, and two 12 x 23-inch fittings (one flat). The 15-inch manway access supports inspection and cleanout. Confirm fitting positions and elevations against the technical drawing before you plumb the site, and match your inlet, outlet, and vent connections to what is shown so field piping lands where you expect.
Why XLPE matters here
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not standard HDPE. Crosslinking builds a denser molecular structure that resists stress cracking and supports that 1.9 SG rating, which is why Snyder rates this vertical storage tank for heavier duty than a comparable HDPE water tank. If you are weighing the two constructions, the write-up on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE and when crosslinking matters explains the tradeoff. For secondary containment at this specific gravity, the Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard guide covers usable-volume math, and for fire-protection reservoirs and rural water storage, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service.
This tank ships LTL freight. Snyder produces this model at Chowchilla, CA, Lincoln, NE, and Philippi, WV, and it will ship from the plant nearest your delivery ZIP to keep transit and cost down. Because a 6,000-gallon tank is an oversized load, freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than listed here. Run your ZIP through our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the closest shipping point and your freight before you order.
