Choosing the option of stainless steel **tote tank rental** also eliminates concerns about tank quantity and quality: you'll be supplied with only ![tote tanks](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/file-413019799-jpg/images/ibcdecallogo.jpg?width=329&height=219&name=ibcdecallogo.jpg)the number of high-quality tanks you require to take care of your intermediate bulk container demands. #### Rent vs. Purchase The reasons why working in tandem with a full-service [stainless steel tote tank rental](https://metanousa.com/ibc-rentals/) company makes perfect sense are numerous. Here's why: - Less expensive -- **Stainless steel tote tanks** aren't cheap. Renting rather than making a large capital investment by purchasing tote tanks outright saves money. There's no risk of empty tote tanks waiting to be put into service. Renting allows you to lease only the number of tanks you require. Increase or decrease your order of tanks whenever the need arises. - Rent for the duration of the job -- [Stainless steel tote tank renta](https://metanousa.com/intermediate-bulk-container-rentals/)l gives you the option of renting IBCs for months or years, whatever suits your project's needs the best. - Expert advice on choosing the right stainless steel tote tank -- Leasing from a reputable stainless steel IBC rental company takes the guesswork out of the equation. Professionals who know their business save you time by assisting you in determining container size and type. - Tanks delivered and picked up in a timely manner -- Once you and the reputable [stainless steel tote tank](https://metanousa.com/stainless-steel-ibcs/) rental company you've chosen have agreed upon the requisite number and type of tote tanks you need, your tanks will be delivered when you need them and picked up promptly when the job is completed. - Quality equipment -- Rest assured that a company specializing in the leasing of stainless steel totes will provide quality tanks that meet [DOT and UN regulations](http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?sid=334912a4394461034046820f8539deb1&c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfrv3_02.tpl#178). All tanks have met industry inspections and tests to ensure that your liquid, solid or hazardous waste is contained in safe, secure intermediate bulk containers. - Ability to update tanks -- If any technological advances in stainless steel totes have transpired in the interim, the rental advantage permits you to trade out your old tanks for updated, [state-of-the-art tanks](https://www.metanousa.com/intermediate-bulk-containers/). - Tax incentive -- An inventory of stainless steel tote tanks depreciates as the months and years pass; leased tanks do not. Monthly rental fees are a potential tax-saving feature that can save your company money in the long-term. Renting stainless steel tote tanks makes sense. Timely delivery and pick-up, access to updated tanks, maintaining only the number of intermediate bulk containers your company or industry requires at any given moment, and short- or long-term leases are all clear advantages of renting stainless steel tote tanks as opposed to purchasing them.   [![Closing IBC Containers](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/163881/aabdf08c-ed67-403f-a030-aa19e3ed6187.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/163881/aabdf08c-ed67-403f-a030-aa19e3ed6187)   *For more information on the rental program that Metano offers, please feel free to email us at [info@metanousa.com](mailto:info@metanousa.com) or call us at 800-634-4128.* Topics: [stainless steel totes](https://metanousa.com/blog/topic/stainless-steel-totes), [tote tank](https://metanousa.com/blog/topic/tote-tank), [intermediate bulk container](https://metanousa.com/blog/topic/intermediate-bulk-container), [IBC rental](https://metanousa.com/blog/topic/ibc-rental) ## We welcome your comments ### Search ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Share [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmetanousa.com%2Fblog%2Fbid%2F329231%2F7-Benefits-of-Renting-Stainless-Steel-IBCs%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetanousa.com%2Fblog%2Fbid%2F329231%2F7-Benefits-of-Renting-Stainless-Steel-IBCs%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fmetanousa.com%2Fblog%2Fbid%2F329231%2F7-Benefits-of-Renting-Stainless-Steel-IBCs%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetanousa.com%2Fblog%2Fbid%2F329231%2F7-Benefits-of-Renting-Stainless-Steel-IBCs%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=7%20Benefits%20of%20Renting%20Stainless%20Steel%20IBCs) [![MetanoLogo_withTagline_original-1](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MetanoLogo_withTagline_original-1.png?width=172&name=MetanoLogo_withTagline_original-1.png "MetanoLogo_withTagline_original-1")](https://www.metanousa.com/) Fairhope, AL 36532 Broussard, LA 70518 (800) 544-7069 [info@metanoUSA.com](mailto:info@metanoUSA.com) [CONTACT US](https://www.metanousa.com/contact-us) Follow Us:                                                        | [![](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Metano-2016/Image/twitter-32.png?width=32&height=32&name=twitter-32.png "twitter-32.png")](https://twitter.com/MetanoIBC) | [![](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Metano-2016/Image/facebook-32.png?width=32&height=32&name=facebook-32.png "facebook-32.png")](https://www.facebook.com/MetanoIbcServicesInc/) | [![](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Metano-2016/Image/linkedin-32.png?width=32&height=32&name=linkedin-32.png "linkedin-32.png")](https://www.linkedin.com/company/metano-ibc-services-inc-) |   | | --- | --- | --- | --- | #### Products - [Stainless Steel IBCs](https://metanousa.com/stainless-steel-ibc-tote-tanks) - [Metal IBCs](https://metanousa.com/metal-ibc-containers) - [Poly IBCs](https://metanousa.com/poly-ibc-tote-tank) - [Composite IBCs](https://www.metanousa.com/composite-tanks-ibcs) - [Reconditioned IBCs](https://metanousa.com/used-ibc-totes-reconditioned-ibc-tanks-metano-ibc-services) - [Shop for Parts](https://www.metanousa.com/shop-parts) #### Services - [Services](https://metanousa.com/ibc-services) #### About - [Blog](https://metanousa.com/blog) - [FAQ](https://www.metanousa.com/ssibc-faq) #### Rentals - [IBC Rentals](https://metanousa.com/ibc-rentals) - [IBC Rental Benefits](https://metanousa.com/advantages-of-ibc-rentals) - [Go Green with IBC Rentals](https://metanousa.com/benefits-of-ibc-rental) #### Industries Served - [Flavor and Fragrance](https://www.metanousa.com/flavor-and-fragrance-industries) - [Food and Beverage](https://www.metanousa.com/food-and-beverage-industries) - [Industrial Chemicals](https://metanousa.com/industrial-chemicals-tote-tanks) - [Petrochemical](https://metanousa.com/petrochemical-industries) - [Personal Care](https://metanousa.com/personal-care-industries) - [Pharmaceutical Intermediates](https://metanousa.com/pharmaceutical-intermediates-industries) - [Paints and Coatings](https://metanousa.com/paints-and-coatings-industries) - [Water Treatment](https://metanousa.com/water-treatment-industries) © 2024 Metano IBC Services, Inc. - [Privacy Policy](http://#) - [Terms Of Use](http://#) - [Terms and Conditions of Sale](https://metanousa.com/hubfs/Metano%20terms%20%20conditions%20of%20sale.pdf)
