The Snyder Industries 446 Gallon 304 Stainless Steel Supertainer is a heavy-duty IBC tote built for operations that have outgrown disposable poly totes and need a container that survives repeated fill-empty-clean cycles. The whole point of paying for 304 stainless steel over a blow-molded caged IBC is reuse: a stainless tote can be sanitized, steamed, and cleaned in place for years instead of being swapped out as a one-trip unit. At 446 gallons in a 48 x 42 inch footprint standing 59.25 inches tall, it drops into the same single-position pallet footprint as a 330-gallon caged IBC and moves through your warehouse and dock workflow the same way. If you are searching for an IBC tote, tote tank, or reusable stainless steel tank, this is that container.
Will it work for your operation
This is a 446-gallon IBC tote in 304-grade stainless steel, silver in color, with a 48.0 x 42.0 inch footprint and an overall height of 59.25 inches. Confirm your fill-point clearance, your forklift mast height, and any rack or doorway opening against those numbers before you order. The footprint matches a standard pallet position; stack rating is not published in this listing, so do not assume it top-stacks like a caged poly IBC until you confirm it. Fitting, valve, and gasket configuration is also not published here, so confirm outlet size, thread type, and gasket material for your service before ordering by calling 866-418-1777.
Plan for the loaded weight, not the empty shell
Filled with water, this tote holds roughly 3,720 pounds of contents. That figure is the water alone; the empty stainless shell adds its own mass on top of it, and that weight is not published here. Rate your floor, your pallet jack, and your forklift to the combined load every cycle, not to the empty unit. The most common error with a reusable stainless tote is treating it like the throwaway plastic IBC it replaces, sizing the handling equipment to the empty weight and skipping the loaded-weight check. Run your volume and turnover through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the 446-gallon working volume matches your batch or dosing cycle.
Service rating and containment
One note on this listing: the specific-gravity rating is marked "No." Stainless steel does not carry a poly-style SG number, because its service rating is governed by wall gauge and pressure or vacuum limits rather than a specific-gravity figure, and none of those are published here. So an SG-style comparison to a poly tote does not apply, and the second mistake to avoid is filling this tote with a regulated or aggressive product on assumption: this listing does not publish potable, food-grade, or chemical-service certification, so verify the intended contents and concentration against the manufacturer's documentation before you plumb it. If you are deciding between this stainless tote and other formats, our guide on Container vs Tank: when to buy a tote, IBC, drum, cube, or tank shows where a reusable stainless IBC pays off versus a one-trip option. If it will hold a regulated material, see RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment for hazardous waste tank systems for leak-detection and inspection rules, and for a metering build, Pump Skid Design for Tank-Fed Dosing Operations covers frame, drip-pan, and leak-detection architecture.
This stainless tote ships LTL freight from our Michigan plant, with freight quoted live to your ZIP code through the Freight Cost Estimator or by phone at 866-418-1777. Because it is a rigid stainless unit on a full pallet footprint, confirm your delivery site has dock or liftgate access for the loaded crate. Questions on fit, fittings, or freight, call our team at 866-418-1777 and we will help you spec it right the first time.
