Snyder Industries 90 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Why the low shape matters

This tank puts its volume into width rather than height. At 34 inches across and 41 inches tall, it carries its weight low, which makes it steadier on a skid, a trailer deck or a sprayer frame than a taller tank of the same volume. It also fits under a low roof, a canopy or a shelf. Typical jobs: the chemical supply on a spot sprayer or a weed control rig, a treatment chemical tank at a remote well or a stock water system, a brine or fertilizer stock tank in an equipment yard. Black is the right colour when the tank lives in the sun or the liquid breaks down in light. The cross-linked wall handles the harder chemistries, and our note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty explains the choice. Check your liquid in our chemical compatibility guide before you order.

Black has two costs. You cannot see the level, so plan a sight tube, a float gauge or a marked dip stick. And the wall warms in the sun; the 140 F limit applies to the liquid, so shade it or cover it on a hot site. Leave room at the top for expansion; our guide to freeboard and usable volume shows how much.

What to check before you buy

1. Fittings. The outlet and lid on 5690100N48 are not listed on this page. Tell us the outlet size and position you need, for a pump suction or a drain, and we will confirm what comes on the tank.
2. Base. Up to about 1,426 lb on a 34 inch circle needs a flat, continuous surface under the whole floor. Our concrete pad sizing guide covers slabs; on a trailer or skid, a solid deck beats slats.
3. Restraint. On a vehicle, strap it for the hardest stop the vehicle will make, never over the lid. Outdoors, at 43 lb empty, anchor it against wind.
4. Listings. If a spec asks for a listing on this tank, ask us for the written statement for this part number.
5. The drawing. The technical drawing for 5690100N48 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, as a 34 by 34 by 41 inch load weighing 43 lb. Two people handle it easily off a liftgate. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. At the tailgate, check 5690100N48 on the bill of lading against the tank label, look the base and the top for transit damage, and note any damage before you sign. Fill it with water first and check every fitting before the chemical goes in.
