The Snyder Industries 120 Gallon Supertainer is a 304 stainless steel IBC tote built for service where a poly tote falls short. With a 48 x 42 inch footprint, a 23.25-inch height, and a true 120-gallon capacity, this tote tank gives you a metal vessel in a tote form factor that moves on a forklift and meters into a process. If you have been searching for a stainless steel tank in an IBC tote configuration, this is the unit that answers it.
Does it work for your application?
The Supertainer measures 48 inches long by 42 inches wide by 23.25 inches tall and holds 120 gallons. The shell is 304 stainless steel in a silver finish. A stainless vessel does not carry a polyethylene-style specific gravity rating, so there is no SG ceiling limiting how dense a product you can load - a genuine advantage over a poly IBC when you are running heavy chemistries. What you do need to plan for is loaded weight: filled with water at 120 gallons, the tote carries roughly 1,001 pounds of fluid before you add the empty vessel and any denser-than-water product. Confirm your floor, forklift, and pallet-jack capacity against that figure plus your actual fluid density. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 120 gallons is the right volume for your batch or dosing cycle before you commit to this footprint.
If you are deciding between a tote, an IBC, and a tank
This is an IBC tote, not a stationary bulk tank, and that distinction drives the decision. A tote moves on a forklift and meters into a process; a tank stays put. If you are weighing a stainless tote against a poly IBC, a drum, or a fixed tank, read Container vs Tank: When To Buy a Tote, IBC, Drum, Cube or Tank to match the vessel to how your product actually moves through the operation. One detail to verify with us before you design the station: the base measures 48 x 42 inches, which is wider than the 48 x 40 GMA pallet many IBC racks are built around, so confirm fit and forklift entry against your specific rack and handling equipment. For tote-fed metering, the Pump Skid Design for Tank-Fed Dosing Operations guide covers the stainless frame, drip-pan containment, and leak-detection architecture that pair with a stainless tote on a dosing line. If the contents fall under hazardous-waste rules, the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 Secondary Containment guide explains the secondary-containment and inspection obligations that apply to the tote and its station.
The mistake to avoid
The error on a stainless tote is treating "stainless" as a blanket guarantee of chemical compatibility. 304 stainless is not universal across every medium, concentration, and temperature, and the fittings and any gasket elastomer on the unit may have a narrower window than the shell itself. Verify your specific chemical, concentration, and temperature against a published stainless-steel resistance chart before you fill it, and confirm the fitting and gasket materials separately with our team so the full wetted path - shell, fittings, and seals - checks out. Our Chemical Compatibility Database is the place to start that review, and we can help you confirm the match by phone.
