What is an IBC Tote?

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) is a reusable industrial container designed for the transport and storage of bulk liquid and granulated substances. IBC totes combine the capacity of drums with the convenience of pallet-based handling.

IBC Tote Components:

Inner BottleBlow-molded HDPE container that holds the product. Available in various wall thicknesses.
Outer CageGalvanized or powder-coated steel cage providing structural protection and stackability.
Pallet BaseIntegrated pallet (plastic, steel, or wood composite) for forklift handling.
Fill Cap6" or 8" top opening with screw-on cap for filling. Vented options available.
Discharge Valve2" or 3" ball valve or butterfly valve at the bottom for controlled dispensing.
Label PlateMetal plate for UN ratings, batch numbers, and product identification.

IBC totes hold the equivalent of 4-5 drums while taking up less floor space and being easier to handle. Their stackable design maximizes warehouse efficiency.
