The 6900 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is Snyder Industries' large-format white vertical storage tank, molded from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated to 1.5 specific gravity. It measures 120 in in diameter and 153 in tall and occupies a 120 x 120 in (10 ft x 10 ft) pad area, holding 6,900 gallons of water or heavier liquids up to the rated density in a single upright vessel.
Does it work for your job?
At this scale, weight drives every decision. Filled with water this tank carries roughly 57,546 pounds of contents, and at its full 1.5 SG rating it is engineered to hold up to 86,319 pounds. Your pad, ring wall, or slab has to be sized and level for that load before delivery, fully supporting the 120 x 120 in base area it bears on. The 1.5 SG rating means the tank wall is built for liquids up to one and a half times the weight of water, so for plain water, irrigation supply, or a fire-water reservoir you have substantial margin. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm this 6,900-gallon size matches your draw and refill cycle, and see the technical drawing on this page for fitting sizes, locations, and dimensional detail.
Fire-water and bulk storage sizing
A tank this size is a common choice for rural and remote fire-water reservoirs and for large agricultural or industrial water storage where a single vertical footprint is preferred over several smaller tanks. Our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline, the role of a polyethylene tank in the private fire-protection stack, and freeze protection for cold-climate service. If you are stepping up from a smaller vessel, the buyer's guides for the 2000 gallon, 500 gallon, and 300 gallon vertical white storage tanks show how the line scales.
The mistake to avoid
Do not order a 6,900-gallon tank without confirming your foundation and your access. First, the pad must be engineered for the full loaded weight above, fully supported and level across the entire base area. Second, this is an oversized freight load, not a package that arrives on a small truck, so confirm the delivery site can receive it and that you have equipment and the tank's empty weight (see the technical drawing) sorted for offload rigging. Finally, the 1.5 SG rating is the ceiling for content density: if your liquid is heavier than 1.5 times water, this white water tank is not the right vessel and you would need a higher-rated tank.
