The Snyder Industries 6,200 gallon vertical storage tank is a black polyethylene vessel molded to the ASTM D1998 standard with a 1.4 specific-gravity rating, sized for bulk water and dense-liquid storage where a smaller vertical tank would push you into multiple vessels. The black resin blocks light to slow algae growth in outdoor service, and at this capacity it consolidates storage that would otherwise take two or three smaller tanks and their plumbing.
- Capacity: 6,200 gallons
- Overall envelope: 120 in diameter x 140 in tall
- Footprint: 120 x 120 in
- Full of water: ~51,708 lb of contents
- Max rated contents (1.4 SG): ~72,391 lb
- Material / rating: black polyethylene, ASTM D1998, 1.4 SG
Will this vertical tank work for your site?
Full of water this tank carries roughly 51,708 pounds, and its 1.4 SG rating supports contents up to about 72,391 pounds - so it handles water and denser liquids up to a 1.4 specific gravity without over-stressing the wall. Confirm your liquid's density against that 1.4 rating before you commit: water sits at 1.0 with comfortable margin, but heavier solutions climb toward the ceiling fast. Plan for the full 140-inch overall height when you check door and ceiling clearance, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to match capacity to your draw-down and refill cycle. Outlet and fitting configuration is confirmed at quote - reference the technical drawing on this page and call before ordering so the tank arrives plumbed the way your site needs.
Foundation and planning
A loaded 6,200 gallon vertical tank puts tens of thousands of pounds onto a 120 x 120 inch footprint, so the pad matters as much as the tank. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for a flat-bottom vertical storage tank this size. For fire-protection or reuse duty, see our write-ups on fire-water reservoir tank design and industrial water reuse tank topology.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a large vertical tank is treating the SG rating as optional. This black tank is rated to 1.4 specific gravity; storing a liquid heavier than that shortens wall life and voids the design basis. Match your liquid's density to the rating, not just its gallons, and pour a level, engineered pad before the tank arrives - a vertical storage tank set on uneven ground drives its full load into a stress point.
This Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, quoted live to your ZIP. Because it is 120 inches in diameter, plan on an oversize/flatbed move with forklift or crane offload, and book that equipment before the truck arrives.
