Snyder Industries 245 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer with Side Drain

The 245 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer with Side Drain from Snyder Industries is a non-caged steel tote built for operations that need a rugged, sanitary IBC-class vessel rather than a poly tank. It holds 245 gallons in a 304 stainless body, weighs 384 lb empty, and carries an ANSI/NSF 61 approval for water-system components. If you have been searching for a 245 gallon stainless steel Supertainer tote, this is the tank.

Will it work for your application?

The footprint is 48 in long by 42 in wide with an overall height of 35.25 in, so it drops onto a standard pallet position and clears low doorways and racked storage. Handling numbers are straightforward: 384 lb empty and roughly 2,043 lb full at specific gravity 1.0, so confirm your pad, forklift, and rack rating handle the loaded weight before you set it in place. Note the metallurgy is intentional — a 304 stainless shell with a 316 SS wetted valve at the high-flow drain point — and both grades read as an accurate spec rather than boilerplate. Product connections are already sorted: a 2 in 316 SS ball valve at the side drain and a 22 in lid for top access, cleaning, and inspection, with any additional fittings confirmed to the technical drawing on this page. To size a tank train or confirm this capacity fits your throughput, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.

How it ships

This Supertainer ships LTL from the Snyder plant in Michigan. Because it is a steel tote, freight is quoted live to your ZIP rather than folded into the list price, and the shipping cost depends on your distance from Michigan and your delivery site. Get an exact number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you.

The mistake to avoid

Do not treat a stainless tote like a poly tank on turnover. If you are rotating this tote between batches or products, it needs proper washout through the 22 in lid before reuse, and the 2 in side drain should be flushed and verified clean. Our guide on mobile tote washout station design walks through spray-ball geometry and hot-water loop engineering that keep a reusable tote operationally viable. One more caution: the 2,043 lb full figure is computed at specific gravity 1.0, so a denser fluid raises the loaded weight proportionally — confirm the rating by phone before storing anything heavier than water. If this vessel is going onto a slab, size the pad for the full 2,043 lb loaded weight using our loaded-weight pad sizing framework.
