IBC tank rental – is it right for you? If you’re like many manufacturers, your production levels can ebb and flow, which can make the job of planning and procuring your IBC tanks a real challenge. But we can help you take the guesswork out of managing this important asset. With the right planning tools (such as this IBC Rental Guide), we can help ensure that you have the tanks you need, when you need them. To start, let’s review these 5 tell-tale signs that IBC tank rental might be right for you:

1)    The warehouse is full of unused tanks

Whether from a cancelled order or overzealous purchasing, unused tanks are a drain on your capital. They also take up expensive space that could be used for better purposes.

A flexible tank rental program takes the guesswork out of ordering; simply order the tanks you need, keep them as long as necessary and return them when you’re done.

2)    Credit lines are tight

This is an all-too familiar scenario. You may need to reduce monthly payments to fund new growth, or maybe have had a mid-year budget adjustment. A flexible tank rental program lets you acquire the tanks you need with no down payment and predictable monthly expenses.

3)    Service and maintenance are becoming a chore

Are you outsourcing your tank cleaning and repair? Why introduce another vendor into your production line? With a tank rental program, all IBC services such as cleaning and regular maintenance can be built right in to your contract to give you a full-circle of services from a reputable IBC vendor.

4)    Those old tanks have seen better days

Seeing lots of wear and tear on your old stainless steel tanks? This could be a sign that your tote fleet has outlived its usefulness. With tank rental, you can say goodbye to obsolete equipment, since only the highest-quality stainless steel rental tanks will be delivered to your door.

5)    That big order is guaranteed ― or not

Enough said! That “guaranteed” order has been cancelled and the tanks you purchased are no longer needed. Eliminate IBC tank surplus by renting what you need, when you need it.
