The Snyder Industries 7000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank (SKU 5300700N40) is a large-format vertical storage tank molded in crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) with a 1.5 specific gravity rating. It stands 122 inches tall on a 142 by 142 inch footprint — nearly a 12-foot-wide shell — built for reservoir duty, industrial process storage, and rural or remote water supply where a single high-capacity vessel beats a bank of smaller ones. Verify your gate, door, and crane clearance against that 142-inch width before you order; it drives site access more than the height does.
Will it hold what you need, and how do you rig it?
Rated to 7000 gallons in Natural White, this XLPE tank carries a 1.5 SG wall, which means it is already engineered for contents heavier than water — up to roughly 87,570 lb at its maximum rated gravity. That built-in headroom is the real advantage here: if you are running a 1.0-SG water tank today, you can consolidate heavier process liquids into this same vessel without stepping to a different product. Plan your pad and anchoring around real loaded weight. Full of water this tank runs about 58,380 lb; at maximum rated 1.5 SG contents it reaches about 87,570 lb. Those numbers, not the empty shell, drive your concrete design — and the large empty-vs-loaded delta on a 12-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall shell is exactly why anchor lugs and hold-down design against wind and buoyancy matter. Read our concrete pad sizing guide before you pour, and run capacity and freeboard scenarios with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a flange, a 12" x 28" fitting with S.U.M.O. reinforcement, an 18" polyethylene threaded and vented fitting, an additional fitting with S.U.M.O. reinforcement, and a manway with 15" access for interior entry and inspection. The 15-inch dimension is the access opening, so confirm it clears a worker plus the gasketed cover and bolt ring for any confined-space entry, and confirm the gasket material and bolt pattern at order so the mating cover ships correct. The S.U.M.O.-style fittings seal with a gasket and backing flange — match the gasket elastomer to your stored liquid and confirm bolt torque at install. Confirm the exact outlet and vent locations against the drawing before you set the tank, since relocating penetrations on a molded tank this size is not practical after installation.
Where it fits
This capacity band is a natural fit for fire-water reservoirs, industrial water reuse trains, and remote-site bulk storage. If you are sizing for private fire protection, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, the water reuse tank topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains. If you are weighing single-wall against secondary containment, the Captor double-wall freeboard guide explains ASTM D1998 freeboard math.
This tank ships LTL by freight from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, quoted live to your delivery ZIP — get your number from our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777. A 7000-gallon vessel is an oversized load, so plan for offloading equipment and clear site access. Our team can help you confirm fitting layout and delivery logistics before you order.
