The Snyder Industries 6200 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical tank built for high-volume water and liquid storage where you need serious capacity on a fixed footprint. It stands 140 inches tall (about 11.7 ft) on a square 120 x 120-inch base (10 ft x 10 ft), and its 1.9 specific gravity rating gives you real headroom over plain water service. This is the tank operators reach for when they are sizing a vertical storage tank for bulk water, fire-water reserve, or process supply and need a proven Snyder vertical at the 6,200-gallon tier. It ships LTL from Snyder's plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, so freight is distance-driven and quoted live to your ZIP.
Will it work for your install?
The numbers that drive your decision: at full water this tank weighs about 51,708 lb, and its maximum rated contents weight is 98,245 lb at the 1.9 SG rating. That 1.9 rating means it is built to carry liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, which is the headroom that separates it from a standard 1.0-1.35 SG water tank. That spread matters for your foundation: plan your pad to carry the loaded weight across the full 120.0 x 120.0-inch base, not just the tank's empty mass. For above-ground polyethylene tanks this size, the pad is not an afterthought - our Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks guide walks the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary kicks in.
Sizing it right for the job
A 6,200-gallon vertical is a common pick for rural and remote fire-water reserve, irrigation supply, and industrial water reuse storage. If you are still settling on capacity, run your draw rate and refill window through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. For private fire-protection duty, our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection, and if this tank feeds a grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC-condensate train, the Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide maps quality-banded storage and treatment staging. Confirm your outlet, bulkhead fitting, and gasket configuration with us before the order ships - we verify fitting and gasket spec per order rather than assuming a layout.
The mistake to avoid
On a vertical tank this tall, premature wall failures tend to start in the vapor-saturated headspace, not down at the liquid line where most inspections focus - so a quick visual check of the full water column is not enough. The HDPE Tank Wall Thickness at the Vapor-Saturated Headspace guide explains the ASTM D1998 sizing logic behind why that zone matters and how to inspect for it. Size and inspect to the wall, not just to the water.
This tank ships LTL freight from Marked Tree, Arkansas, with freight quoted live to your ZIP - get your number from our Freight Cost Estimator or call us at 866-418-1777. Because a loaded tank at this tier is heavy equipment to set, confirm delivery access and rigging or offload before shipment, and we will help you verify pad requirements before your 6,200-gallon vertical storage tank ships.
