The Snyder Industries 245 Gallon Carbon Steel Supertainer is an IBC tote built for repeatable bulk handling and tight footprints. It holds 245 gallons in a dark blue carbon steel body that measures 42 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 35.25 inches tall. If you are searching for an IBC, an IBC tote tank, or a tote rather than a freestanding poly tank, this is that class of container: a durable, reusable transport-and-storage shell sized to move bulk fluid through a process or warehouse.
Will this tote work for my application?
Plan the install around the three numbers that decide whether a tote fits a floor: footprint, height clearance, and full weight. The footprint is 48 inches wide by 42 inches deep, which keeps aisle and rack planning predictable. Stand it 35.25 inches tall, so check that against any door, conveyor, or secondary-containment pan it has to sit under or pass through. At capacity, plan for roughly 2,043 pounds of full water weight, so your rack and handling equipment all need to be rated above that with margin. Because this is a carbon steel Supertainer rather than a translucent poly tank, do not size it by sun-readable gallon markings; confirm the 245 gallon working volume against your turnover with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit a floor spot to it.
Fittings, fill, and dispense
Fill, discharge-valve, and gasket configuration are confirmed per order rather than listed here, so do not assume a thread size or valve type from the photo. Call us at 866-418-1777 with your fill and dispense method and we will confirm the fitting and gasket build that matches it. That same call is where chemical service gets settled: the pack lists this tote with no specific gravity rating and a carbon steel construction, so it does not carry a poly tank's chemical-resistance profile. Specific gravity and chemical compatibility for a steel vessel are driven by the steel and any internal lining, not by a poly resin spec, so confirm your fluid against the manufacturer's material data before filling rather than guessing from capacity alone.
Choosing the right packaging tier
A tote sits between drums and a fixed bulk tank, and the right tier depends on how much fluid you move and how often. If you are weighing this Supertainer against drums or a larger stationary tank, the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis walks through the annual-volume and turnover math, and Container vs Tank: When To Buy a Tote, IBC, Drum, Cube or Tank frames when a tote beats a tank. If your fluid is regulated or hazardous, the containment question follows close behind. Review RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment for hazardous-waste leak-detection and inspection cadence, and the Snyder Captor Plus 110% Containment vs UL-142 comparison if you are mapping containment strategy across your site.
This Supertainer ships LTL freight from Michigan, quoted live to your ZIP. It ships empty, so the freight quote is on the tote itself, not the 2,043 pound full water weight, which is a floor-load number for your rack. Use the Freight Cost Estimator for an estimate to your dock, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the lane and confirm liftgate or limited-access needs before it leaves the plant.
