A wide, low 6000 gallon heavy duty XLPE cone bottom tank in natural white
Snyder Industries part number 5280200N42 is a 6000 gallon cone bottom tank in natural white crosslinked linear polyethylene with the heavy duty wall, rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity. The shell is 142 inches in diameter and 136 inches tall, so it holds its volume low and wide, and it weighs 1,250 lb empty. 6,000 gallons of water weighs 50,040 lb, about 25 tons; a liquid at the full 1.9 rating weighs about 95,076 lb. Access is an 18 inch threaded vented manway on top. The service limit is 100 F. Through the natural wall you can see the liquid level from outside.
Headroom limited? This shell keeps 6000 gallons under 136 inches of tank. Call 866-418-1777 with your clearance, or get freight to your ZIP and add it to your cart above.
Why the wide shell, and why heavy duty
A low profile is the reason to buy this tank over a tall, narrow one: it fits under a roof line or a pipe rack, the manway is easier to reach from a platform, and the centre of gravity is low. The heavy duty wall is the reason to buy it over the standard version: rated to 1.9 specific gravity, it takes dense coagulants, brines and fertilizer concentrates at full volume. The cone drains completely for batching and settling. Our 6000 gallon cone bottom tank buyer's guide walks through the size, and the note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty covers the resin. Check the liquid in the chemical compatibility guide; heavy duty buyers usually open ferric chloride, polyaluminum chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium hydroxide. Keep the contents at or under 100 F.
Settle these first
- The stand. A 142 inch cone needs a stand with that diameter and the capacity for the full liquid weight, set on a level slab. The cone bottom stand compatibility matrix covers the Snyder pairings; ask us about the stand with the tank.
- The outlet. No outlet size is stated for this tank. Tell us the pipe size and valve you plan at the cone and we confirm the fitting with Snyder.
- The manway. One 18 inch threaded vented manway on top for filling, a mixer or a level sensor.
- Getting it in. The tank is 142 inches across, so measure gates, doors and the path from the truck to the stand.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships at freight class 400 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 142 by 142 by 136 inches at 1,250 lb. At 142 inches it is wider than a standard trailer, so tell us about the site and the access road early and we plan the haul with you. A large forklift or a crane sets it on the stand. Check the part number against 5280200N42 on the bill of lading, inspect the cone and the manway before signing, and make the first fill water so you can check the outlet joint.
