The Snyder Industries 750 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a crosslinked polyethylene vertical storage tank built for demanding above-ground water storage. Molded in Natural White so you can read the liquid level at a glance, it holds 750 gallons in a squat, round profile — roughly 68 inches in diameter and 66 inches tall, seated on a 68 x 68 inch footprint. The wall is crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) carrying a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which describes the liquid density this tank is engineered to hold.
Will it work for your site?
Full of water, this tank weighs about 6,255 pounds, and it is rated to carry contents up to 11,884 pounds. That number is not arbitrary: a 1.9 specific gravity rating means the tank is built for liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water, so 6,255 lb of water times 1.9 lands at the 11,884 lb maximum rated contents. In plain water service (specific gravity 1.0) this tank is deliberately over-specified — you are running it well inside its structural envelope, which is exactly what buys you longevity. Plan your pad for the full 68-inch round footprint and the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Above-ground polyethylene tanks want a flat, continuously supported base — our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that foundation right. If you are still deciding on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide match gallons and dimensions to your usage.
XLPE versus HDPE — the crosslinking difference
This is a crosslinked (XLPE) tank, not a standard HDPE tank, and the difference matters for longevity under load. Crosslinking bonds the polymer chains so the wall resists environmental stress cracking and holds up better to heavier contents over years of service. For a full breakdown of when that crosslinked wall earns its keep, see Snyder XLPE vs HDPE. Because this is a water-service tank, confirm your fitting and outlet needs for your plumbing before install — check the technical drawing on this page for the molded-in port locations.
A strong fit for fire-water and reserve storage
Vertical storage tanks like this one are a common choice for rural fire-water reservoirs, agricultural water reserve, and general bulk water storage where a rugged XLPE wall pays off. If fire protection is your use case, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites.
