The 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable CageBuster IBC Tote (Snyder Industries, SKU SII-6998701B97204) is a non-caged bulk container built to move and store process fluids without the steel cage of a standard IBC. It molds a 1.9 specific-gravity rated High Density Polyethylene body into a 48"L x 40"W footprint standing 58.75" tall, so it drops onto a standard GMA pallet position and stacks. Empty weight is 220 lb, it carries a 2" ball valve outlet and a 6" lid, and it is FDA Approved. Max service temperature is 105° F / 41° C. If you are still deciding between this format and a drum or a vertical tank, our guide on when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank walks the tradeoffs.
Will it handle your load?
Sizing is the number that catches people. Filled with water this 330 gallon stackable CageBuster weighs about 2,752 lb, and at its full 1.9 SG rating the maximum rated contents weight is roughly 5,229 lb. The footprint is a standard 48"L x 40"W pallet, but before you stack, confirm your floor, pallet rack, and forklift capacity against that 5,229 lb loaded top-tank figure and the 58.75" stacked height. The 2" ball valve gives you gravity draw or pump feed, and the 6" lid takes fill and vent hardware. Check the technical drawing on this page for port placement, and run your volume through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide if you are matching turnover to container size.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is HDLPE rated to 1.9 specific gravity per the Snyder Industries OEM chemical resistance chart. That chart is concentration and temperature specific, so confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and the fitting and gasket materials before committing. The 1.9 SG body is the reason it clears heavy chemistries a standard 1.5 SG container cannot: Sulfuric Acid at 98% (CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets), Hydrochloric Acid at 37% (PVC, Viton), and Ferric Chloride at 50% (PVC, EPDM) all require a 1.9 SG rating and would not be cleared on a lighter tote. Other cleared aggressive acids include Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton — the common water-treatment fluosilicate feed), Sodium Hypochlorite (below 16.5%, PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), and Peracetic Acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas). On the coagulant and salt side the chart clears Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), and Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM). Lighter-duty fluids such as DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM), Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM), Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), and Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM) are also cleared. Match fittings and gaskets to the chemical, not to habit, and cross-check the full list in our Chemical Compatibility Database. For hazardous service, review RCRA secondary containment requirements.
The mistake to avoid
The FDA-approved marking covers material contact, not chemical service — do not read it as clearance for a specific chemical. On this tank the SG is rarely the limiter: DEF and Urea only need 1.35 SG and peracetic acid needs 1.9, so the 1.9 body has all three covered. What must be ordered right is the metal and elastomer. DEF and peracetic acid both call for 316SS fittings (peracetic also needs Aflas gaskets), so pairing either with PVC hardware is the failure mode to watch. Where a chemical does carry a higher required SG, verify that figure on the OEM chart before you fill.
