330 gallon tote

The 330 — same floor, 20% more volume.

The 330 keeps the GMA pallet footprint of the 275 but adds seven inches of height. The trade-off worth understanding.

The 330 wins when
  • Your floor is the bottleneck, not your ceiling
  • Each tank cycle is expensive — fewer cycles for same throughput
  • Pipework is already at 50–53" centerline height
  • Trailers measured in tanks-per-deck rather than gallons-per-tank
The 275 wins when
  • Your forklift is under-rated for the heavier 330 fill weight
  • Pallet-rack openings under 56" tall
  • Roll-up doors or dock heights are tight

When 330s pay off

The applications where the extra height earns its keep.

Brewing and cidery. Hot liquor tanks, fermentation overflow, beverage holds — the bigger volume per cycle reduces handling overhead. A brewery running 12,000 gallons annually does it in 36 tote trips on 330s vs 44 on 275s.

Agricultural mixing stations. Fertilizer concentrate mixing, drip irrigation reservoirs, livestock water headers — the 330 lets you mix once and serve longer between refills.

Industrial chemistry holds. Surfactant blending, soap concentrate staging, lubricant base oil dispensing — same chemistry per cycle, fewer cycles per shift.

Construction water caddies. Site water for dust suppression, equipment refill, hand-wash. A 330 in a pickup bed reduces refill trips by 20%.

Drip irrigation gravity heads. A 330 elevated 5 feet generates the same pressure head as a 275 but lasts longer between refills — important for unattended overnight runs.

Key takeaways

If you only read one section.

  1. 01330s win when floor space is the bottleneck, not forklift headroom.
  2. 02+20% volume per square foot of floor at +6% empty weight. Big win on warehouse density.
  3. 03+15 lb empty weight, +505 lb full water weight. Check forklift and stack ratings.
  4. 04Pallet rack opening needs to be 60"+ — common but not universal. Tape-measure first.
  5. 05Cycle-count math favors 330s for any operation moving >5,000 gallons per year through totes.
Common questions

330-specific questions.

Will my dock leveler handle a 330?
Yes, almost always. Standard dock levelers are rated for 6,000+ lb. A full 330 at 2,945 lb is well inside that envelope.
Can I stack 330s two-high?
Indoors on level concrete with the base tank ≤90% full, yes — same rule as 275s. Outdoors, single-high only. Mixed 275/330 stacks are always wrong.
Are 330s harder to find?
Slightly. The donor stream has fewer 330s than 275s because manufacturers produce more 275s. We typically keep ~120 in stock vs ~340 for 275s. Lead time is occasionally longer on Grade A 330.
Per-unit price vs 275?
330s run about $25-$40 more per tank reconditioned. The price premium is justified by the 20% additional volume on the same floor footprint.
