The Snyder Industries 180 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer is an IBC tote engineered for process, transfer, and chemical-service duty where a rotomolded poly tote will not do. Operations specifying a stainless IBC are typically running aggressive chemistry, food or pharma transfer, or hazardous-waste accumulation, where the contents demand a metal shell that holds its chemistry and shape over years of dosing, storage, and transfer cycles.
Confirm your chemistry first
For any chemical or hazardous-waste tote, compatibility is the disqualifier, not dimensions. Before you commit this unit to service, verify your contents against the OEM chemical-resistance chart at your specific concentration and temperature, and cross-check our Chemical Compatibility Database. Fitting and valve configuration on the Supertainer is confirmed at order, so call 866-418-1777 to spec the connections and gasket materials to match your chemistry rather than assuming a standard arrangement. If this tote is feeding a metering loop, our pump skid design guide for tank-fed dosing operations covers the frame, drip-pan, and leak-detection architecture that pairs with a stainless tote, and for accumulation duty review RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment for hazardous waste tank systems before placement.
Will it fit your line?
This Supertainer holds 180 gallons in a 48 x 42 inch footprint that drops onto a standard pallet position and inside most secondary containment pans without modification. The overall height is 29.25 inches, low enough to clear most fill lines and enclosures where a taller poly tote would not. Unlike a rotomolded poly IBC, 304 stainless carries no resin specific-gravity derating curve, but that does not mean unlimited fill density is safe: confirm the tote's rated maximum contents weight with Snyder for your specific gravity before service. Run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are sizing a fleet of these into a process line, and use Container vs Tank: when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank if you are still weighing the format.
The mistake to avoid
Do not size your rack, pan, or floor loading off the gallon number alone. Filled with water at specific gravity 1.0, this tote runs about 1,501 pounds gross. A buyer dosing acid or a 1.5-specific-gravity product is looking at materially more weight, and you must compute it for your own contents: capacity in gallons times 8.34 times your specific gravity, plus the empty tote weight. Stainless also carries more dead weight than plastic, so a rack or containment pan rated for a poly IBC of the same volume may be undersized here. Confirm the 29.25 inch height clears your fill point and the 48 x 42 inch footprint fits your containment before you order. For bulk-containment planning, our Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs UL-142 / SPCC comparison frames the secondary-containment decision.
