The Snyder Industries 70 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a compact black crosslinked-polyethylene (XLPE) vessel built to an ASTM heavy-duty standard. Its envelope is 42 inches tall on a 23 x 23 inch footprint — 42 in H x 23 in dia, 23 x 23 in base — so it clears tight utility closets, equipment skids, and pump-house corners where a wider vertical tank simply will not fit. If you are shopping for a heavy-duty black vertical storage tank in this size, this Snyder unit answers what it holds, how it ships, and where buyers get the install wrong.
What this tank handles
The tank stores 70 gallons. Filled with plain water it carries roughly 584 pounds of contents. The crosslinked (XLPE) wall is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity — that rating is engineering headroom and durability, giving the tank a maximum rated contents capacity of about 1,109 pounds rather than leaving it at the bare water figure. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to check your loaded weight against that 584-to-1,109 pound range before you commit to a location.
Siting and the mistake to avoid
The common misstep on a small heavy-duty vertical tank is treating "70 gallons" as a light load. Because the wall is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, the pad or platform can see up to about 1,109 pounds of contents plus the tank's own weight — so size the base to the full loaded figure, not the 584-pound water number. That means a flat, fully supported, level surface, not a couple of blocks or an uneven slab. For a permanent above-ground install, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework so the foundation matches the load.
