Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

When height is the answer

This shape is for sites that are short on floor and long on headroom: a corner of a treatment building, a fenced chemical pad, a yard where every square foot is spoken for. A 90 inch circle holds 6,500 gallons because the tank goes up, not out. The trade is height. At 273 inches before the stand, check the roof line, the door you will bring it through, overhead power and the reach of whatever sets it. The manway is at the top, so plan a safe way to reach it for filling and inspection.

The heavy duty wall is what makes this part number different. Pick it when the liquid is denser than water, up to 1.9 times its weight: brines, coagulants and many acids. If your liquid is 1.5 or lighter, the standard wall version of this shell is the better fit, and we list it as well. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide; buyers of this tank ask most about hydrochloric acid, ferric sulfate, sodium hypochlorite and hydrofluosilicic acid. Containment options are compared in our Snyder Captor containment comparison, and markings in our guide to tank labels and signage.

What to check before you buy

1. Stand and anchoring. A cone needs a stand, and a tall, narrow tank needs one that resists tipping as well as carrying 27 tons of water. Our cone bottom stand compatibility matrix covers how stands pair with Snyder tanks; ask us about the stand and any wind or seismic needs at your site.
2. Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed for this tank. Tell us your pipe size and valve and we confirm the fitting at the cone with Snyder.
3. Level. A black wall gives no view of the liquid, and on a tank this tall nobody wants to climb to check. Our level gauge selection guide compares the remote options.
4. Temperature. Keep the contents under 100 F; a black tank in direct sun gains heat.
5. Drawing. Snyder's drawing is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 250 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 90 by 90 by 273 inches at 1,980 lb. The freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Standing a tank this tall upright takes a crane or a forklift with real reach, controlled lines and a crew, so book it for the arrival window. Check 7180000N51 against the bill of lading, look over the cone and the manway for transit damage before you sign, and fill it with water the first time, in its stand, before it carries anything else.
