The 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable Cagebuster IBC Tote from Snyder Industries is a non-caged, stackable bulk container molded in white High Density Polyethylene with a factory 1.9 specific-gravity rating and Viton gaskets. It holds 330 gallons in a 40 x 48 inch footprint (48 in long, 40 in wide, 58.75 in tall) with a 6-inch lid, weighs 220 lb empty, and carries an FDA Approved designation. The CageBuster design stacks and moves like a standard IBC tote but drops the steel cage, so there is no metal to rust, bend, or contaminate what you store.
Will it work for your fluid
Start with weight, because that is where tote buyers get surprised. Filled with water this 330 gallon tote runs about 2,752 lb; at its maximum rated contents it carries 5,229 lb. Confirm your loading dock, forklift, and stacking plan handle a fully loaded unit before you order. The 1.9 SG rating means the tank wall is built for dense liquids up to a specific gravity of 1.9 — and because 1.9 is the top of Snyder's chart, this tank satisfies the SG requirement for every chemical listed below. Your selection comes down to gasket and fitting material, not the tank wall. This unit has a 6-inch lid; outlet and fitting placement is not published in our spec data, so review the technical drawing on this page and confirm exact port size and location with us before ordering. Run your volume through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between a 330 gallon tote and another size, and our Container vs Tank and Drum vs Tote vs Bulk Tank break-even guides walk the packaging-tier math.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is HDLPE resin rated to 1.9 SG with Viton gaskets, which is what makes it a genuine chemical-service tote rather than a water-only container. Because the resin is listed as HDLPE, confirm HDLPE vs XLPE for your service. Compatibility below is drawn from the Snyder Industries OEM chemical resistance chart and is concentration- and temperature-specific — confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and both fitting and gasket material before you commit. Each entry shows the OEM concentration, recommended fitting material, and gasket material:
Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC, EPDM); Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM); Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM); DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM); Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM); Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM); Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM); Ferrous Sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM); Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC, Viton); Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton); Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton); Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton); Magnesium Chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM); Peracetic Acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas); Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton); Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM); Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM); Potassium Hydroxide (Saturated, PVC, EPDM); Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM); Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM); Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM); Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM); Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%, PVC, Viton); Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM); Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC, Viton); Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM); Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM); Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM). Full detail per chemical lives in our Chemical Compatibility Database.
The single most common mistake on a chem tote is matching the tank but mismatching the gasket. This unit ships with Viton, which suits the hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric, hypochlorite, and sulfuric services above — but an EPDM-preferred chemical will need a gasket swap. Peracetic Acid is the exception on both counts: it requires an Aflas gasket, which neither the shipped Viton nor EPDM satisfies, so that service needs a dedicated gasket spec. Fitting material matters as much as the gasket — DEF and peracetic acid call for 316 stainless, sulfuric acid for CPVC, and most others for PVC or PP. Match both to your chemical; do not assume one elastomer or one fitting covers your whole list.
