A 550 gallon carbon steel Supertainer tote that stands 71.25 inches tall
The Snyder Industries 550 gallon carbon steel Supertainer IBC tote, part number 6984500B32213, is a steel tote 42 inches long, 48 inches wide and 71.25 inches tall, weighing 612 lb empty and listed in dark blue. It fills through a 22 inch vented manway or a 2 inch access port, and a 2 inch 316 stainless steel ball valve drains it. Full, it holds 4,587 lb of water (550 x 8.34) on a 42 by 48 inch footprint. Snyder gives no specific gravity rating or service temperature for this steel tote; tell us the liquid and we will confirm it with Snyder before you order, together with Snyder's current warranty terms.

The most liquid on a pallet-size footprint
This is the size to pick when floor space is the constraint and height is not. It puts 550 gallons on a 42 by 48 inch base, close to a standard pallet. Measure first: at 71.25 inches it needs a doorway, a rack bay and a truck deck with room above it, and the manway is above head height for most people, so fill through a hard line on the access port or from a platform, never from a ladder leaned on the tote. Full, the weight on the floor is 4,587 lb of water plus the tote, so the slab or mezzanine has to carry it. Steel takes the knocks of a working floor and suits sites whose standard calls for a metal vessel. Our guide to when to buy a tote, a drum, a cube or a tank and the drum versus tote versus bulk tank break-even analysis help decide whether a fixed tank makes more sense at your volume.
Openings and what to check
- Outlet. A 2 inch 316 stainless ball valve. Cap it when the tote moves and support the hose off the valve.
- Inlet. A 2 inch access port; on a tote this tall it is the practical way to fill.
- Manway. A 22 inch vented manway on top for inspection and cleaning from a platform.
- The liquid. For corrosive liquids or iron-sensitive products, compare the 304 stainless versions below, and check our chemical compatibility guide.
- Drinking water. For potable service, call us first and we will confirm what Snyder documents for this model.
- Containment. For regulated liquids, see the secondary containment guide for hazardous waste tank systems and our containment comparison.

Shipping and receiving
The tote ships LTL at freight class 125, 42 by 48 by 71 inches at 612 lb, from one of Snyder's plants at Lincoln, Nebraska; Marked Tree, Arkansas; or Merced, California. A dock or a forklift at your end handles it; confirm the lifting points with us first, and keep the lift low and slow with a load this tall. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. When it arrives, check the part number against 6984500B32213 on the bill of lading, look over the body, valve and manway for transit damage, cycle the valve, and fill it once with water before its first real load.
