Snyder Industries 390 Gallon Plastic Containment Tray with Pump Shelf

A tray, not a tank, and what stands in it

Begin with the family, because this part has exactly one sibling on the sheet and the two of them answer opposite room shapes. This tray is a rectangle: 76 inches one way, 62 the other, 28 inches deep, 200 pounds. The other, SII-6270000B88204, is a 485 gallon tray with wrap on a 66 by 66 inch square standing 30 inches, at 314 pounds. So one is longer and shallower with a rectangular mouth, and the other is square, deeper and heavier with more volume. The rectangle is what makes this one worth specifying. A tote, a skid, a drum rack and a day tank with a pump beside it are rectangular arrangements, and a 76 by 62 inch opening takes a longer base than a 66 inch square will physically accept, whatever the volume column says. The rule that matters is the boring one: measure the base of whatever is going into the tray, add working clearance all the way round, and only then look at gallons. A tray that the vessel does not fit inside is not a smaller tray, it is the wrong part. The pump shelf is the second reason to pick this one, and it is named here exactly as the sheet names it and described no further, because the sheet gives no shelf dimension and no load. What a shelf does in principle is give the pump a place inside the tray rather than a stand beside it, which keeps the pump, its seal and its connections over the basin instead of over the floor. Whether it suits your pump is a question to put to us with the pump's own footprint in hand. Then think about the floor. The tray is only 200 pounds, so placing it is easy; what stands in it is not. The sheet's own figures are 3,253 pounds of water and 6,180 pounds at the rating, and the vessel inside the tray adds its own full weight on top. Add those honestly before deciding the slab is adequate, and put your own arrangement through the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide so the sizing is a calculation rather than a hope.

Two trays: 390 gallons wide, 485 gallons deep

Two trays, and the honest way to choose between them has almost nothing to do with the gallon column. This one is a 76 by 62 inch rectangle 28 inches deep at 200 pounds. The other is a 66 inch square 30 inches deep at 314 pounds, and it holds more. Start with the mouth. Sixty-six inches is the widest base that will go into the square tray in either direction; this tray takes seventy-six in one direction, which is what lets a longer skid, a longer rack or a tank and its pump sit in the same basin. If the thing you are containing is longer than it is wide, the rectangle is the part. Next, depth. Twenty-eight inches against thirty is not much on paper, but both are a serious step over for an operator who has to reach a valve or a gauge on the vessel inside, so plan the access before the tray is in position rather than after somebody has climbed in. Weight is the last column and it works in this tray's favour on a retrofit: 200 pounds can be carried in and dropped into a space by hand where 314 pounds wants a machine or a fourth person. What neither tray will do is decide your obligations for you. Whether an arrangement is adequate for your site depends on your vessel, your contents and the rules that apply to you, and no percentage, listing or code status is stated on this page because none is on the sheet. Bring the vessel's footprint and its full weight and we will talk about which tray fits.

No drain, no lid, and the pump shelf the sheet names

• Drain: no outlet, no drain and no bulkhead is published on this sheet and none is claimed. For a containment product that is often the right answer, because an unattended drain is a hole in the thing you bought, but it does mean somebody has to own the job of getting a spill or a rainfall back out. Decide whether that is a pump, a vacuum truck or a fitted valve before the tray is on site.
• Fittings generally: no inlet, no threaded boss, no coupling and no gauge appears on the sheet. If you need one in this tray, ask us before you order; that is a specification question and not something to be added on site with a hole saw.
• Cover: no lid and no manway is published, and none is claimed. It is an open tray, which is what lets it catch and what exposes it to weather.
• The pump shelf: the sheet's product name gives a pump shelf and gives no dimension, no load and no pump detail for it, so this page states none. Send us the footprint of the pump you intend to use and we will confirm it against the part before it ships.
• The inside base: this is the working surface. Keep it clear of anything that concentrates a load in one spot, and set the vessel that stands in it on a bearing arrangement suited to that vessel rather than directly onto a sharp foot.
• Inspection: the value of a containment product is knowing it is empty, intact and clear. Look at the inside base, the corners, the wall and the shelf on a written schedule and write the date down each time.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C and a specific gravity rating of 1.9, and no warranty term on this sheet. That is everything it publishes.

Tell us what stands in the tray and what the tray stands on when you order. Those two facts decide whether this is the right part far more than the 390 gallon figure does.

Under a tote, a day tank or a dosing skid

A rectangular tray with a pump shelf is bought to go underneath a working arrangement rather than a single object: a day tank with its transfer pump beside it at a treatment works, an intermediate bulk container at a dosing station, a metering skid in a process room, a drum rack in a chemical store, a transfer or decanting point where the drips are predictable, or a bench where product is made up by hand. It also earns its place as a plain catch basin under equipment that weeps a little by design, in a wash bay, or beneath a filling point. Black is the sensible colour for a moulding that will spend its life on a floor collecting marks. Two things to settle before it goes in: what the tray is standing on, and what happens to rain if it lives outdoors, because an open tray collects weather and that weather occupies volume you bought for something else. Either it is under cover or somebody owns a written routine for emptying it and checking what came out. Check the product that might end up in it against our chemical compatibility reference before you order, since what the tray is asked to hold is a chemistry question, not a capacity one.

Marked Tree, Arkansas, and 200 pounds of tray

This tray is moulded at Marked Tree, Arkansas, and the sheet gives Arkansas as the state it ships from, which is a short run through the mid-South and a planned one to the coasts. The freight field reads LTL rather than a numeric class, under NMFC 93662, and it ships at 76 by 62 by 28 inches. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. The weight is trivial at 200 pounds and the shape is not: a six foot by five foot open moulding is an awkward thing in a corridor, on a stair and in a wind. Measure the doorway, the turn beyond it and the route to the final position before the truck is booked, because this is exactly the sort of item that arrives easily and then stops at a door. Carry it flat, keep it flat, and set it in its final position before anything goes into it, never the other way round. Then run clean water into the empty tray from a hose and watch where the water sits. If it all goes to one corner, the floor is not as level as the drawing says and you have found that out for the price of five minutes rather than on the day it is needed. Note the level reading and the clear height over the shelf on the site plan while the tape is still out. Leave room to walk all the way around it; the side of the tank nobody can see is the side that leaks.
