As a busy manufacturer, we understand that choosing a partner to supply your stainless steel IBC totes may not be top of mind. You have a plant to run, production goals to meet, and multiple projects to manage ― time is short and deadlines are shorter. But what if you had a full-service IBC totes partner who was committed to managing your logistics so that you could manage your business? Sound enticing? Here’s our list of 5 must-have services to look for when choosing a supplier for your IBC totes:
Protecting your IBC storage investment makes good sense whether you choose to buy or even rent to supplement your IBC fleet. With good handling and care practices, you’ll not only protect the container itself, but the expensive liquid product inside. And IBC storage containers that arrive in good physical shape also have a higher-perceived value to your end customer (just as damaged containers have a negative association).
Poly tanks are often overshadowed by other types of IBC tanks, yet they offer many benefits in their own right. While designed for shorter term service than their steel IBC counterparts, poly tanks are a durable and cost-effective means of shipping your bulk liquids. They’re comprised of an inner container made of high-density composite polyethylene surrounded by a rugged steel cage; they are perfect for high-bay warehousing. But in order to guarantee that you are purchasing a quality poly tank, you should look for these design features:
I had a great call with a prospective client this week; someone who had a number of questions relating to IBC totes.

I had an interesting conversation with a chemical distributor last week about fire safety and stainless steel tanks. While IBC safety is important in all industries, it is particularly critical when storing and moving high-risk, flammable chemicals, including materials used in Packaging Groups I and II. Because even a “small” compromise to the integrity of a tank can lead to a disastrous pool fire.
Stainless steel tote tanks can be used for virtually any industrial treatment application; from wastewater processes to chemical storage. They are an efficient means of transporting liquids to remote locations such as construction and agriculture sites, or for moving hazardous materials.
Stainless steel tote tanks (also known as intermediate bulk containers) can hold up to 550 gallons of liquid and are designed to resist tough chemical compounds. Tote tanks are also constructed of poly composite, but for long-term service and durability, stainless steel is the preferred industrial choice.
