The Snyder Industries 165 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer is an IBC tote built for operations that need a rugged, reusable intermediate bulk container in a material polyethylene cannot match. It holds 165 gallons in a 304 stainless steel body finished in silver and occupies a standard 48 x 42 inch pallet footprint at just 26.25 inches tall. That low profile is a real working advantage: it racks under tight overhead clearance and keeps gravity-feed head height predictable. If you have been searching for a stainless steel tank, a tote tank, or an IBC tote that stands up to repeated handling, this is the format that does it.
Will it work for your operation?
This Supertainer holds 165 gallons in a 304 stainless steel body with a 48 x 42 inch footprint that drops onto standard pallet racking and forklift travel without custom rigging, and a height of 26.25 inches for low-clearance placement. Plan your floor loading and structural support around a full weight near 1,376 pounds when the tote is filled with water. There is no published specific-gravity rating for this stainless tote, so size by weight: a fluid denser than water scales that 1,376 pounds up in proportion to its specific gravity. Run your actual fluid through the Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a location. Confirm the outlet, fill port, and gasket configuration against the technical drawing on this page so your pump, hose, and dispensing hardware land where you need them.
Stainless steel versus a poly tote
Choosing 304 stainless over a polyethylene IBC is a deliberate decision, and it usually comes down to cleanability, reuse, and service life for your specific duty. If you are weighing this against a poly IBC or a drum, the Container vs Tank guide walks through when a tote, IBC, drum, or fixed tank is the right call for a given application. For metered chemical work, the pump skid design guide covers frame engineering, drip-pan containment, and leak detection around tank-fed dosing.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a stainless tote is treating the metal as a blanket pass for any chemical. This is 304 stainless, not 316, so chlorides, seawater, and aggressive acids are the named risk class: they pit and stress-crack 304 over time. Verify your product against a 304 stainless chemical-resistance chart at your actual concentration and temperature, and treat the gasket and seal materials as a separate material decision from the tank wall. If this tote will hold a hazardous material, the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide covers the containment and inspection requirements you are obligated to meet, and our Chemical Compatibility Database is a starting reference for narrowing options.
This Supertainer ships LTL freight from our Michigan plant, palletized for forklift handling. Freight is quoted separately to your ZIP and is not included in the list price; the concrete inputs are the Michigan origin and the 1,376 pound full water weight.
