The Snyder Industries 446 Gallon Carbon Steel Supertainer is a steel-frame IBC tote built for repeated bulk handling and transport. It holds 446 gallons in a 42 inch (length) by 48 inch (width) footprint, stands 59.25 inches tall, and ships in Dark Blue. Empty it stages compactly; filled with water it carries roughly 3,720 pounds, so the floor it sits on and the equipment that moves it both need to be rated for that load. If you have been comparing an IBC tote, tote tank, or full IBC tank for staging process fluid, this Supertainer covers the same job class with a carbon steel cage rather than a bare poly tank.
Will it work for your job
The numbers a tote buyer needs are here: 446 gallon working capacity, a 42 inch by 48 inch (L x W) footprint, and a 59.25 inch overall height. Confirm those dimensions against your doorways, racking bays, and truck-bed clearance before you order, since the footprint and height drive whether it stages where you need it. Full water weight is about 3,720 pounds, which is your worst-case floor and forklift load for a water-density fluid. Tare weight for the steel cage and frame is not published here, so confirm the empty weight with us at 866-418-1777 before you size a forklift or plan stacking. Match the size to your space with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are deciding between sizes.
Mistake to avoid: read the cage and the metal, not just the gallons
This unit is listed with a carbon steel build and no published specific-gravity rating, which means it is not spec'd here for a heavier-than-water chemistry. Do not assume a tote rated by volume is rated for your fluid's weight: a denser product pushes the loaded weight above the 3,720 pound water figure, and it can change what containment and handling you are required to provide. The build is carbon steel, so the interior is also a first-order compatibility question, since bare carbon steel can corrode in water and many aqueous chemistries. Before you commit it to anything beyond water-density service, confirm the fluid is compatible with the tank, its interior lining or coating, and its fittings, and verify your containment plan. Check your specific fluid against the Chemical Compatibility Database first. If you are still choosing the packaging tier, the container vs tank guide and the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis walk through the math.
Containment and compliance
If this tote will hold a regulated or hazardous fluid, the cage alone is not your secondary containment. The RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide covers leak-detection options and inspection cadence for hazardous-waste tank systems, and the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison helps you decide which containment approach fits an SPCC site. For the fitting fill and discharge sizes, valve type, and gasket material on this unit, see the technical drawing on this page or call us, since those details drive whether your pump and seals match the fluid.
