The Snyder Industries 350 Gallon Side Drain LiquiTote is a stainless steel SS 304 IBC tote built for bulk liquid handling where a poly tank will not do. It measures 51 inches tall on a 42 by 48 inch footprint and holds 350 gallons in a single rinse-and-reuse vessel. The 3-inch fusible vent and side-drain configuration make this a process-fluid tote - the kind of stainless IBC tote buyers reach for when metal construction is required over plastic.
Will this tote work for your liquid?
This is a Stainless Steel SS 304 tank, silver in finish, rated as an IBC tote tank at 350 gallons, with a full physical envelope of 51"H x 42"W x 48"L. SS 304 is the deciding spec: unlike a poly IBC, it does not carry a polyethylene specific-gravity rating (this listing lists none), so suitability comes down to whether SS 304 stainless is compatible with your chemistry at your concentration and temperature - not a resin-and-SG calculation. The tote is configured with a 3-inch fusible vent and a side drain. Note that the detailed wetted-parts schedule - the side-drain outlet thread size and the vent and drain gasket or seal elastomer - is not specified in this listing, so confirm both the SS 304 compatibility and the gasket and seal material against your specific chemistry before you plumb it in.
Sizing and weight
Filled with water this tote carries about 2,919 pounds, sitting on a 42.0 by 48.0 inch footprint - plan your forklift, rack, and floor loading around that figure, and remember a denser process fluid will weigh more than water. If you are weighing a tote against drums or a fixed bulk tank for your annual turnover, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you right-size, and our breakdown of when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank walks through the trade-offs. For the deeper cost math, see the drum vs. tote vs. bulk tank break-even analysis.
The mistake to avoid
Do not assume a stainless tote is a drop-in replacement for a poly IBC - the wetted seals, the outlet hardware, and the metallurgy all have to clear your chemistry before this tank earns a place in your process. Whatever your fluid, factor in any secondary containment your site requires as part of the system, not an afterthought. If your operation falls under hazardous-waste rules, our guide to RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment covers leak-detection and inspection cadence, and the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs. UL-142 / SPCC comparison explains how containment ratings line up with code. Confirm SS 304 and gasket compatibility for your specific chemistry first - start with the Chemical Compatibility Database.
