The Snyder Industries 70 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a compact, 42-inch-tall polyethylene vertical tank built for water and general storage on a small footprint. Its overall envelope is 42 in high by 23 in wide by 23 in deep, and it holds 70 gallons on that 23-by-23-inch base, so it fits tight utility corners, pump sheds, and skid frames where a larger-diameter tank will not. The tank is molded in Natural White polyethylene, a translucent wall that lets you read the liquid level at a glance without opening the lid.
Will it work for your setup?
Two load cases decide the pad or platform under this tank. Full of plain water at a specific gravity of 1.0, the contents weigh about 584 pounds. The wall carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, meaning it is built to hold contents up to 1.9 times the density of water, and at full volume that heavier case weighs roughly 1,109 pounds. That heavy-duty wall rating is why this vertical storage tank suits denser fluids than plain water, not just the light water case. Rate your surface for whichever contents you actually plan to store. For matching gallons and footprint to your space and pump, the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide walk you through it, and the Snyder freeboard sizing guide per ASTM D1998 explains how density and thermal expansion affect the volume you can actually use.
Footprint and mounting
The 23 x 23 inch footprint is the number that decides most installs at this size. Set the tank on a flat, fully supporting surface rated for the filled weight. If you are pouring a new pad for it, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI framework for getting the base right. This white vertical storage tank also works well as a component in grey-water and rainwater aggregation setups; the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows where a small vertical tank fits in a quality-banded storage train.
The mistake to avoid
The common error at this size is under-building the base or mounting surface. People see a 70-gallon tank and treat it as light, but filled with water it is close to 600 pounds, and at the full 1.9 rated density it approaches 1,100 pounds of contents. Confirm your surface, bracket, or platform is rated for the actual filled weight of what you plan to store, not just the empty tank. Outlet size, thread type, and gasket spec are not published for this SKU, so read them off the technical drawing on this page, or call before you plumb, to confirm the exact profile and molded fitting locations.
