The Snyder Industries 165 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer IBC Tote Tank is a 165-gallon stainless tote built for repeat industrial duty. It measures 42 inches long by 48 inches wide by 26.25 inches tall, sitting on a 48.0 x 42.0 inch footprint that drops onto a standard GMA pallet position and moves with the forklift and pallet-jack equipment you already run. Filled with water it carries 1,376 pounds, so plan your rack ratings, dock loading, and transport around that loaded weight before you spec it in.
Will it work for your operation?
This is a 304 stainless steel tote, silver finish, in an IBC tote format. The 165-gallon working volume on a 48 x 42 inch base makes it a dense, stable container for staging, transferring, and storing product where a plastic IBC or loose drums would otherwise clutter the floor. The low 26.25 inch profile is a real advantage: it slides under shelving and rack levels where a tall IBC will not fit, and leaves stacking clearance a full-height tote cannot. Because the shell is 304 stainless rather than polyethylene, there is no specific-gravity tank rating to size against the way you would with a plastic tank - the wall is metal, so the selection question shifts from resin and SG to whether 304 stainless is the right alloy for your product and cleaning regimen. Confirm 304 compatibility with your process fluid, temperature, and any wash chemistry before you commit. For comparing this tote against a plastic IBC, drum, or fixed tank for your throughput, the Container vs Tank buying guide walks through when a tote is the right call, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 165 gallons matches your batch size.
Specs and what to verify
Fitting, valve, and lid layout is not published in this listing, so confirm the outlet and closure configuration matches your fill, transfer, and dosing equipment by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order - that mismatch is the most common miss on a tote install. If this tote is feeding a metering or dosing loop, the pump skid design guide covers the stainless frame, drip-pan containment, and leak-detection architecture that pairs cleanly with a stainless tote. Where the contents are regulated, review the secondary-containment requirements in the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 containment guide so the tote sits inside a compliant catchment.
The mistake to avoid
The error here is treating a 304 stainless tote like a plastic tank and asking which specific gravity it is rated for - it is not a polyethylene tank, so there is no SG number, and the real risk is putting a product into 304 that the alloy cannot tolerate. Verify 304 stainless compatibility with your fluid and concentration against a published chemical-resistance reference before service, and start with the Chemical Compatibility Database to vet your product against the material. The second common miss is the loaded weight: at 1,376 pounds full of water, this is a heavy unit, so confirm your racking, floor, and lift equipment are rated before it arrives.
