The Snyder Industries 850 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, giving it real density headroom over a standard water tank. It stands 117.7 inches tall - just under 10 feet - on a 48-inch diameter (48 x 48 footprint envelope) and holds 850 gallons. The high SG rating is why it carries Snyder's heavier-duty resin (#880046) instead of a basic water-tank shell, which translates into extra wall integrity for demanding water and heavy water-adjacent service.
Will this tank work for your job?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 7,089 pounds of full water weight on that round 48-inch footprint, so plan a level, engineered pad that can take the concentrated point load of a tall vertical. The 1.9 SG rating means the shell is validated for contents up to about 13,469 pounds - the weight of 850 gallons of a 1.9-SG liquid (850 gal x 8.34 lb/gal x 1.9) - which is a wide margin over plain water and the reason this tank holds up under dense liquid loads. Because it stands nearly 10 feet tall, confirm your overhead clearance, doorway height, and fill access before you set it. To match tank height and diameter to your volume and pad, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and cross-check the method in our Tank Sizing Guide. See the technical drawing on this page for exact outlet and dimensional callouts before you plumb it.
One mistake to avoid
Don't under-rate the wall for what you actually plan to store. This unit is specified at 1.9 SG on purpose - lighter standard water tanks aren't validated for dense liquids, and a shell sized only for water will be overstressed if the product ever gets heavier. Premature wall failures usually start at the vapor-saturated headspace, not on the liquid side where most people inspect; our guide on HDPE wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace walks through the ASTM D1998 sizing logic operators need. If this 850-gallon vertical is headed into a rural fire-water or reserve role, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection, and our 850 gallon vertical storage tank buyer's guide compares configurations in depth.
