The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Carbon Steel Supertainer is a 300-gallon IBC tote tank built for repeatable bulk handling where a steel-framed, palletized footprint matters more than a plastic vessel. It is listed in Dark Blue with carbon steel construction and measures 41.25 in tall by 48 in wide by 42 in long - a 48.0 x 42.0 inch footprint that drops onto standard rack and forklift spacing without overhang. If you are weighing an IBC tote against drums or a fixed bulk tank for your process fluid, this Supertainer fills the 300 gallon tote tank slot in that lineup.
Will it work for your operation?
Plan around two numbers before anything else: full water weight of roughly 2,502 lb and a 48.0 x 42.0 inch footprint at 41.25 in tall. Filled, this tote loads your floor at well over 600 lb per square foot of footprint, so confirm floor loading, rack rating, and forklift capacity before you stage it full. Use the 41.25 in height and the footprint to check aisle clearance, stacking, and door pass-through against your real measurements - cross-check everything on the technical drawing on this page rather than rounding from the listing. The Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide help you match this 300 gallon capacity to your turnover and refill cadence before you commit to a tote tier.
The mistake to avoid
This is a carbon steel IBC, not a chemical-rated polyethylene tank. Its specific gravity rating is listed as "No," meaning there is no published, warranty-backed SG service rating to lean on for dense or aggressive fluids - so do not assume a density ceiling that the listing does not give you. Carbon steel and your chemistry have to be matched deliberately, and that decision belongs with your fluid's compatibility data, not the tank's frame. Route every non-water fluid through the Chemical Compatibility Database before you fill it. A second common miss is buying the wrong packaging tier entirely: if you are still deciding between a tote, a drum, and a fixed tank, our Container vs Tank guide and the Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank break-even analysis walk the volume and turnover math.
Containment and regulatory framing
If this Supertainer will hold a regulated fluid, sort out secondary containment before it goes into service. The Snyder Captor 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison covers when a 110% catch basin applies, and the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide covers leak detection and inspection cadence for hazardous-waste tank systems.

Build your load math against the 2,502 lb full water weight above, confirm your outlet, lid, and dimensions on the technical drawing on this page, and check the Chemical Compatibility Database if this tote will carry anything other than water.
