The Snyder Industries 350 Gallon LiquiTote is a 304 stainless steel center-drain IBC tote built for operations that have outgrown plastic totes and need a tank-grade container that stands up to repeated handling, cleaning, and demanding fluids. At 350 gallons in a 48 x 42-inch footprint and a 53.75-inch overall height, it gives you the corrosion resistance, durability, and reuse life of stainless steel in a frame sized to move on standard handling equipment. The center-drain bottom pitches contents to a single low point, which matters when you need to fully empty and clean between batches rather than chase residual product around a flat floor. If you have been searching for an IBC tote, tote tank, or stainless steel tank that outlasts the disposable cube, this is the durable end of that category.
Will it work for your job?
Plan around the full-load math before anything else. Filled to 350 gallons with water, this tote carries roughly 2,919 pounds of liquid weight. Important: this tote does not carry a published specific-gravity rating, so do not treat that 2,919 lb water figure as the ceiling. For any fluid denser than water the loaded weight climbs, and you must confirm the load rating with Snyder or with us by phone before filling. Then verify that your forklift, pallet-jack capacity, rack, and floor can all take the loaded tote plus the weight of the stainless vessel and frame itself. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the 48 x 42-inch footprint and 53.75-inch height to your container, staging area, and overhead clearance. The center drain is the feature to design for: position it over your dispensing point or sump so gravity does the work.
What to confirm before you buy
The most common mistake on a stainless tote is assuming "stainless" means "any fluid." Stainless corrosion resistance is chemistry-specific, so the alloy that suits one fluid may not suit another. Before committing this tank to anything beyond water or a known-compatible fluid, verify your specific chemical, concentration, and temperature against a published material-compatibility reference. Note that fitting size, thread spec, and gasket material are not published in our spec data for this tote, so confirm the center-drain fitting and gasket materials on the technical drawing on this page, or with us by phone, before you match the tank to your chemistry. The Chemical Compatibility Database is the place to start that check. If this tote will feed a dosing loop or sit inside a containment system, our guides on pump skid design for tank-fed dosing operations and RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment walk through the frame, drip-pan, and leak-detection decisions that govern reliable service.
Tote, IBC, or tank?
If you are weighing this against a plastic cube, a drum, or a fixed tank, the trade-offs come down to reuse life, cleanability, and handling. A stainless LiquiTote costs more up front than a disposable IBC but is built to be cleaned and refilled, and the center drain makes that turnaround faster. Our breakdown of when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank lays out where each container earns its place. Review the technical drawing on this page for the full dimensional layout and fitting locations before you finalize your install.
This tote ships LTL from Snyder Industries' plant in Burnet, TX, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code. Because it ships from a single Texas origin, freight cost scales with distance, so a West Coast or Northeast ZIP should run the numbers before budgeting.
