The Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a free-standing vertical storage tank molded in white from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated to a specific gravity of 1.5. At 6,500 gallons it stands 152 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch (10 ft x 10 ft) square footprint - a serious volume for bulk water, rainwater capture, or fire-water reservoir duty. Below are the numbers that decide whether this tank fits your pad, your liquid, and your delivery.
Will it work for your site and your liquid?
This is a vertical storage tank built for high-volume liquid holding. Capacity is 6,500 gallons in a single white HDLPE body standing 152 inches tall over a 120 x 120 inch base - confirm your slab is sized and level for that footprint before it arrives. Linear polyethylene is the higher-density-rated, structural choice here, correctly paired with the 1.5 specific-gravity rating: that rating means the wall is engineered to hold liquids weighing up to one and a half times the weight of water. Full of plain water (about 8.34 lb per gallon), the contents weigh roughly 54,210 lb; loaded to the full 1.5 SG rating, the liquid can reach about 81,315 lb. That headroom is the reason to choose this tank over a 1.0 or 1.1 SG water-only vertical tank - it handles denser liquids up to 1.5 SG, not just water. Plan your foundation, pad reinforcement, and any seismic restraint around the heavier of those two figures for your actual liquid. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 6,500 gallons matches your real demand before you commit to a footprint this size.
Fittings, gaskets, and connections
Outlet, inlet, vent, and manway placement vary by build on a vertical tank this size, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm the exact fitting and manway configuration for this model before you order. One caveat that protects you: the HDLPE body's 1.5 SG rating does not by itself certify your bulkhead fittings and gaskets. Those must be separately chemically and density-rated to match the liquid you intend to store, so spec the fitting and gasket material to the actual contents rather than assuming the tank rating covers them. Cross-check connection elevations against your pipe runs while planning the tie-in, because relocating connections on a tank this size after it is set is not practical.
How it ships
A 6,500-gallon vertical tank ships LTL freight on its own, quoted live to your ZIP code. This Snyder model is produced at Albertville, Alabama and Merced, California; freight is quoted from the plant nearest you to keep transit and cost down on a unit this large. Because of the 152-inch height and 10-foot square footprint, plan for offload - a tank this tall needs equipment and a clear path to the pad.
Get a live LTL freight number to your ZIP with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to confirm lead time, offload requirements, and the nearest shipping plant.
