Intermediate Bulk Containers
Intermediate bulk containers, commonly called IBC tanks, IBC totes, or simply IBCs, are reusable, UN/DOT rated containers designed for the bulk transport and storage of liquids. They can be used for some free-flowing granulated materials, but are not rated for this in regulated transit. Standard capacities range from 126 to 793 gallons, 110 gallon metal IBCs are available but are not UN/DOT permitted. IBCs are also used for blending, distilling, fermentation, and onsite dispensing applications across a wide range of industries.
IBC containers ensure cargo security due to their robust design and manufacture. They safeguard internal payloads against potentially damaging external conditions such as water, dust, and other air-borne pollutants. Food grade products can maintain hygiene standards. Sensitive chemicals and materials can be safely transported without experiencing corrosion or degradation. Intermediate bulk containers are capable of withstanding various elements including human handling, machine handling, rain, wind, and sea salt corrosion.

Advantages of IBC Tanks
Intermediate bulk containers possess various characteristics that contribute to their usefulness across industries and applications. IBCs provide a consistent cargo packaging that is manufactured and specified to federal regulations and current industry technology. All except caged polyethylene IBCs are designed to be extensively reused. Most IBC totes are highly reusable and have long service lives, making them very cost effective assets.
Shape, Organization, and Maneuverability
All IBCs are cube shaped and all but Megatainers are sized to or near standard pallet dimensions. This allows for more material to be transported within similar dimensions while maintaining effective and familiar mobility. IBC totes have either two way or four way forklift, pallet jack channels that allows increased maneuverability by providing multi-directional approach. All IBCs are stackable. The stackable design promotes efficient handling, storing, and transport, and allows for gravity-based product dispensing as well as other system integration applications.
Durability, Resistance, and Engineering
IBC tanks are durable and easy to fill, stack, and load. They are resilient against impact, tearing, and against easy puncturing. Polyethylene and metal IBCs resist the corrosive effects of many materials and chemicals. Metal IBCs are ideally suited for flammable, combustible materials, exposure to high temperatures, and strict hygiene and cleanliness applications. Most of our offered IBCs are UN/DOT approved for handling hazardous materials such as corrosives, acids, and caustics as well as approved for land and sea transport.
Most IBCs are designed to withstand typical transport pressure and stress and are equipped with automatic pressure/vacuum vents that activate at low overpressure levels, commonly around 0.25 psi, to protect the container during transport.
Logistics, Handling, Time, and Money
Intermediate bulk containers provide numerous benefits to suppliers, distributors, end users, wholesalers, and transporters. They have many characteristics that make their use beneficial to company economics and logistics. IBCs are well suited for industries and companies that are dependent on the secure packaging and arrival of their product.
A 330 gallon IBC tank is the equivalent of six 55 gallon drums, fits to one pallet size, and handled by one forklift. One IBC can potentially make hundreds of successful trips. These qualities contribute to reduced physical waste and disposal costs. IBCs are recyclable, reducing environmental impact at service life end.
