Default Well Water Pressure higher then 60PSI?

So I have a Pump that can produce more then the typical 60PSI @
30GPM. I'm drawing from a 5000 gallon tank.

When looking for a Pressure tank I only see ones that have a 40/60 PSI
range on them. Though the Operating Pressure is like 110PSI. What
is that all about? Can I use my Well-X Troll Pressure tank and a
higher pressure?

Thanks,

You didn't mention what the application is but 40/60 PSI is a good
working pressure for a home. You get good performance and the various
valves etc don't get destroyed nearly as quickly as they would at higher
pressures.
