Snyder's gray painted steel stand for cone bottom tanks
Part number 78800000 is Snyder's cone bottom tank stand, a gray painted steel frame 66 inches square at the floor and 64 inches tall, weighing 140 lb. A cone bottom tank has no flat base, so it needs a stand that cradles the cone at the right angle and lifts the outlet high enough to get a valve, a pump or a drum underneath. Snyder pairs each cone bottom tank with a specific stand, and the cone angle and the tank diameter both have to match; a stand that is close is not a stand that fits.
Two ways to buy. 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.
What to check before you buy
- The tank. Tell us the tank part number and we confirm this is its stand before the order ships. Our cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix lays out which stand goes with which tank, and our steel frame versus polyethylene stand decision tree covers when steel is the right choice.
- The height. With the tank in it, the bottom of the cone sits 64 inches up: room for a drum, a pump inlet or a mixer underneath, and high enough that the top of the tank may need a ladder. Measure both before the order.
- The floor. A flat, level, continuous 66 inch square, with no drain, joint or slope under it.
- Anchoring. No anchor hardware comes with the stand; if your site needs it bolted down, that hardware is yours. Snyder's drawing, linked on this page under Technical Drawing, has the geometry.
Setting it up
Put the stand in its final position first and check it with a level across both diagonals. Set the empty tank in it and turn the tank so the outlet points where the pipe will run. Fit the outlet valve before the first fill, and fill with water the first time so any problem shows up with something harmless in the tank. A full cone bottom tank on a raised stand is a concentrated load; your installer, not this page, confirms the floor can carry it.
Shipping and receiving
The stand ships by LTL freight on a pallet, 66 by 66 by 64 inches and 140 lb, from the nearest of Snyder's plants in Lincoln, Nebraska, Marked Tree, Arkansas, Merced, California or Philippi, West Virginia. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP, and a stand ordered with its tank travels with the tank. At the tailgate, check the part number against 78800000 on the bill of lading and look at the four feet before the driver leaves: a corner that took a knock in transit shows as a foot that no longer sits flat with the other three.
