IBC TANK

What is an Intermediate Bulk Container?

A rigid Intermediate Bulk Container, also referred to as IBC, IBC Tote, IBC Tank, and simply Tote), is a UN permitted shipping container. It is manufactured to specified gallon volumes, dimensions, base footprint, manoeuvrability, pressure-relief, and engineering standards. Our standard IBC tank maintains the UN approval for handling and freight transport of potentially hazardous materials belonging to Packing Group II and III, as defined within the HMR (Hazardous Materials Regulation).
