Snyder Industries 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable Cagebuster IBC Tote in White, VITON

Why the cage is the part that fails

A conventional IBC is a thin bottle held in shape by a welded steel cage, and in a plant that handles totes every day the cage is what gets racked by a fork, bent by a tug and knocked out of square until the tote no longer stacks, seats or passes a receiving inspection. The Cagebuster is Snyder's answer: the polyethylene body is the structure, so there is one material to wash, no frame to rebuild and nothing to rust. The buyers are chemical distributors who get totes back from customers, car wash and laundry operations taking detergent in bulk, water and wastewater plants holding polymer or hypochlorite at a dosing point, finishers collecting spent bath for disposal, and farms and co-ops buying concentrate at tote volume. The VITON in the part name is Snyder's designation for this version of the tote; which seal it names and whether that seal suits your liquid is something to confirm with us before you order, and we will get Snyder's answer in writing. The standard Cagebuster is linked below.

Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide. The entries tote buyers ask about most are sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and DEF. If you are weighing totes against drums or a fixed tank, our guides to when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube or tank and the drum versus tote versus bulk tank break-even analysis do the arithmetic. Where totes hold a regulated liquid, the secondary containment guide covers what inspectors look for, and Florida buyers should read the Florida DEP aboveground storage tank compliance guide.

What to check before you buy

1. The lid. 6 inches on top, enough for a fill hose or a tote pump drop tube and a sampling thief. Keep it closed and the vent clear during transfers.
2. The outlet. Snyder's data for this part number does not list an outlet valve, so tell us the discharge connection you use and we will confirm what the tote comes with before it ships.
3. Stacking and lifting. Snyder's data gives no stack height or lift rating for this part number, so agree a stacking plan with us for your liquid and your handling before the totes are racked.
4. Temperature. No service temperature is given for this version; if your liquid arrives warm, ask us before you order.
5. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 6998701B97202 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and shows the body, the lid and the fork pockets.

The rest of the tote family

Same body without the VITON designation: the 330 gallon Cagebuster IBC tote in white. Snyder's stackable totes on a different body: the 330 gallon stackable tote in black, the 330 gallon stackable tote in red and the 275 gallon stackable tote. For aviation fuel, the 550 gallon stainless Jet-A Liquitote is the vessel, not a polyethylene tote. For the volume itself, use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.
