The Snyder Industries 6900 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is built for serious bulk water storage, rated to 1.9 specific gravity in a black, High Density Linear Polyethylene shell. At 153 inches tall on a 120 x 120 inch footprint, this is a large-format vertical storage tank, and the 1.9 SG wall rating means it carries heavier-than-plain water loads, such as high-mineral or brine-band water and large fire-reserve volumes, with a real wall safety margin. If you are sizing a fire-water reservoir, an irrigation buffer, or a bulk water storage train, this black Snyder vertical tank earns its place.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank holds roughly 57,546 pounds of contents, and its 1.9 SG rating allows a maximum rated contents weight of 109,337 pounds, so the wall is engineered well past the load of plain water. That extra wall capability is the difference between a tank that survives years of dense-load service and one that creeps and fails early. Plan your slab around the 120 x 120 inch footprint and the full-load weight, not the empty tank. One number this listing does not carry is the tare or as-shipped weight, so call us at 866-418-1777 to confirm it before you schedule rigging or size a crane. For above-ground installs, work through the pad load before delivery using our concrete pad sizing guide, and confirm your usable volume against draw-down and freeboard with the Tank Sizing Calculator.
The mistake to avoid
Do not under-build the foundation. This is a heavy-duty vertical tank carrying up to 109,337 pounds at full load, and a poured pad sized for water-only weight is the most common and most expensive error on a tank this size. The 1.9 SG rating is a wall-thickness specification, not a license to skip slab engineering. Fittings are not published for this SKU, so before you set anchor points or plumb the discharge, confirm your outlet size, fitting locations, and accessory layout against the technical drawing on this page, and call 866-418-1777 with your discharge size if anything is unclear. If this tank is feeding a private fire-protection system, size the stored volume to your NFPA reservoir requirement first, as walked through in our fire-water reservoir tank design guide.
Freight and ordering
This 6900 gallon vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the nearest Snyder plant, either Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, with rates quoted live to your ZIP. Because there are two origins, the closer plant matters: a Plains or Western delivery generally rails off Lincoln, while an Eastern delivery generally runs from Philippi, and that choice can swing the LTL number, so run your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator to see the real figure before you commit. At 153 inches tall and 120 inches across this is an oversize load, so call 866-418-1777 with your ZIP and any site access limits and we will quote the run from the closer plant and line up the right equipment for a black Snyder vertical tank this size.
