    Poly Composite Caged IBC Tote Tanks

    Composite IBC Tote Tanks

    Poly totes provide a cost effective, reliable method of handling, storing and shipping liquids. Our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) IBCs are rotationally molded, forming a single piece, all poly IBC that is highly durable. These tanks are UN/DOT certified and can store liquids up to a 1.9 specific gravity, making them ideal for storing and transporting chemicals. When purchased new, these poly IBCs are also certified to meet the food-grade requirements of the USDA and FDA. Poly totes are available in standard capacities of 275 & 330 gallons and feature a heavy-duty base which is designed for four-way fork entry and two-way pallet jack access. They also feature stacking lugs which ensure appropriate alignment and stability when the tanks are stacked, allowing you to use space efficiently and save on labor, storage and freight costs.
