Snyder Industries 275 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank

The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a high density linear polyethylene IBC built for bulk industrial fluid handling, secondary process staging, and the move up from drums to a stackable bulk container. It holds 275 gallons, stands 62 inches tall on a 46 x 46 inch footprint, and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - heavy enough to run dense industrial chemistry, not just water. The blue HDLPE tote ships from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Will it work for your application?

This is a true bulk IBC tote, not a poly drum or a small cube - the 46 x 46 inch footprint and stackable design let you build vertical storage instead of spreading containers across the floor. Filled with water at room temperature the tote weighs roughly 2,294 pounds, and the structure is rated to carry up to 4,358 pounds of contents, which is what makes the 1.9 specific gravity rating meaningful: you can fill it with fluids far denser than water and stay inside the design envelope. At a 1.9 specific gravity rating this is the densest-rated poly option in this line, and there is no higher-SG step to upgrade to, so confirm your fluid's specific gravity falls at or below 1.9 before service. Confirm your forklift, rack, and floor loading against the loaded weight before you stage these stacked. For fitting layout, drain, and fill-port locations, see the technical drawing on this page, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 275 gallons matches your turnover. If you are weighing this against drums or a fixed bulk tank, the Container vs Tank guide and the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis work through the volume and turnover math.

Chemical compatibility

This tote is high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is why it handles a wide band of concentrated industrial chemistry that a 1.5 SG tank cannot. Compatibility always depends on resin, concentration, temperature, and the fitting and gasket materials at every penetration - confirm your exact chemistry against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your concentration and operating temperature before service. The single most common mistake on a chemical IBC is matching the resin and skipping the fittings: a tote rated for sulfuric acid still fails fast if the valve and gasket are wrong. Within the chemistries verified for this tote, the gasket choice sorts into three families - EPDM for the salts, glycols, and carbonates (calcium and magnesium chloride, ethylene and propylene glycol, sodium and potassium carbonate, ferric and ferrous sulfate, DEF, urea), Viton for the strong oxidizers and acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, phosphoric, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite), and Aflas for peracetic acid only. Two chemistries break the PVC/EPDM default: peracetic acid needs 316SS fittings with an Aflas gasket, and DEF and urea solution need 316SS - order those wetted parts accordingly.

The same resin also handles acetic acid at 60%, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide (saturated), and water treatment chemistries including polyaluminum chloride, sodium bisulfite, sodium thiosulfate, zinc orthophosphate, and ozonated water up to 10 PPM - all on EPDM gaskets except where noted.
