The Snyder Industries 275 Gallon Stackable IBC Tote Tank Payloader System is a polyethylene IBC tote built for industrial process-fluid handling, holding 275 gallons in a 40 x 48 inch footprint and standing 53 inches tall. It is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is why it ships from the factory with EPDM gaskets and a heavy-duty closure set up for dense chemical service rather than plain water storage. If you have been searching for an IBC, an IBC tote tank, or a stackable tote, this is the unit, and its 40 x 48 inch base matches standard pallet handling for forklift and payloader movement.
Will it work for your application
The white Snyder tote measures 53 inches high by 40 inches wide by 48 inches long. Filled with water it carries roughly 2,294 pounds, and at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating it is engineered to hold up to 4,358 pounds of contents, so you can run heavy brines and acids without exceeding the tank's design. The system comes with a 2 inch outlet for drainage or transfer plumbing and a 6 inch heavy-duty cap for top-fill and inspection access; confirm the exact fitting positions against the technical drawing on this page before you finalize plumbing. Because the 1.9 rating gives real headroom over a 1.0 water-weight load, this tote suits operations stepping up from drums where volume and turnover justify a bulk container. See our Container vs Tank guide and the drum vs tote break-even analysis if you are deciding packaging tier, and the Tank Sizing Calculator to confirm the gallons match your throughput.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is molded from polyethylene; because the resin grade reads as HDLPE but is not yet confirmed, resolve HDLPE versus XLPE with us before committing it to chemical service. At its 1.9 specific gravity rating the tank handles a broad slate of process chemicals, but every selection depends on resin, concentration, temperature, and matching the fitting and gasket material to the chemical. The table below pairs each confirmed-compatible chemical with the fitting and gasket material it requires; always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact concentration and temperature.

| Acetic acid | 60% | PP/PVC | EPDM |
| Aluminum sulfate | 50% | PVC | EPDM |
| Calcium chloride | 40% | PVC | EPDM |
| DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) | 32.5% | 316SS | EPDM |
| Ethylene glycol | 100% | PVC | EPDM |
| Ferric chloride | 50% | PVC | EPDM |

| Hydrochloric acid | 37% | PVC | Viton |
| Hydrofluoric acid | 48% | PP/PVC | Viton |
| Hydrofluosilicic acid | 26% | PP/PVC | Viton |
| Hydrogen peroxide | 50% | PVC | Viton |

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a chemical tote like this is matching the gasket to the wrong chemical. The 1.9 SG rating tells you the polyethylene wall can carry the weight, but it says nothing about chemical attack on the seals. This tank ships with EPDM gaskets, which are wrong for oxidizers such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid, where you need Viton; for DEF, where 316 stainless fittings are required; and for peracetic acid, where neither EPDM nor Viton works and you need Aflas gaskets with 316 stainless fittings. Pick the fitting and gasket material from the table above for the exact chemical and concentration you are running, and resolve the resin grade question with us first if you are storing anything aggressive. For secondary containment on hazardous service, see our RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 containment guide and the Snyder Captor 110% containment comparison.
