The Snyder Industries 350 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer is a fabricated metal IBC tote for industrial transport and storage where a polyethylene tote is the wrong material for the job. At 350 gallons in a 304 stainless steel body, this is a different class of container than a molded plastic IBC: it ships from Michigan, stands 47.25 inches tall on a 48 by 42 inch footprint, and is built from a weldable, repairable metal rather than a one-trip plastic shell.
Will this stainless tote work for your operation?
Start with footprint and weight, because both drive your handling plan. The tank measures 47.25 inches high, 48 inches wide, and 42 inches deep, so it sits on a standard 48 by 42 inch pallet pattern and stages like a conventional IBC. Loaded handling: roughly 2,919 pounds full of water on that 48 by 42 inch footprint, so confirm your forklift capacity, floor rating, and any rack or mezzanine load limits before you choose a location. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match this 350 gallon capacity to your batch volume and turnover so you are not over- or under-sized.
The defining feature is the material. 304 stainless steel is a structural, weldable metal, which is why buyers cross-shop this against plastic when they need an IBC tote built from a body that can be repaired rather than discarded. If you have been searching for a stainless steel tank or a heavy-duty tote tank rather than another molded IBC, this is the format that fits that requirement.
What this tote is and is not
This is a 304 stainless steel container, not a poly tank, so the chemical and rating questions are answered differently. The specific gravity rating that governs plastic tank selection does not apply here, and we do not list a poly resin grade for this product because there is none. Before you put any specific chemical in a stainless tote, verify that chemical against 304 stainless steel and against your gasket and seal materials using a concentration- and temperature-specific resistance chart and our Chemical Compatibility Database. For a structured way to decide whether a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or fixed tank is the right container for your process, see our guide on when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank.
Confirm fittings and gaskets before you order
Fitting type, size, and gasket or seal material are not yet specified for this unit, and those details determine both how the tote fills and drains and how it stands up to whatever you store in it. Do not assume a configuration. Call 866-418-1777 and our team will confirm the available fittings, the gasket materials, and how they pair with your intended contents before you buy, so the compatibility check above is built on the real hardware rather than a guess.
Avoid the common mistake
The mistake to avoid is treating a stainless IBC like a plastic tote when you plan the rest of the system. If this tote feeds a dosing or metering loop, the frame, drip pan, and leak-detection architecture around it matter as much as the tank itself; our breakdown of pump skid design for tank-fed dosing operations walks through that engineering. If you are storing a regulated material, review your secondary containment obligations in our coverage of RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment for hazardous waste tank systems before the tote arrives, not after. See the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensional references.
This stainless tote ships LTL freight from our Michigan plant, and because freight on a 350 gallon unit varies sharply by destination, it is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than included in the listed price. Get a real number in seconds with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and our team will quote the tote, confirm the fittings and handling, and help you spec the surrounding skid or containment.
