Our stainless steel IBCs are stackable, washable, reusable and can be shipped affordably.  Totes, when stacked in storage, allow for over 1000 gallons of product to be stored in a single pallet space.  Our polyethylene and polyethylene composite totes come in capacities of 275 & 330 gallons, and can store liquids with a specific gravity of up to 1.9.  Our stainless steel totes come in standard sizes of 350 & [550 gallons](https://www.metanousa.com/550-gallon-ibc?hsLang=en#_ga=2.58244776.323821527.1513174991-1777325278.1478093849), though we can custom build DOT/UN certified totes ranging in size anywhere from 119-gallons all the way up to 793-gallons.        IBC Rentals Our reliable [IBC rental service](https://www.metanousa.com/ibc-rentals?hsLang=en) is ideal for customers looking to take advantage of the benefits of stainless steel IBCs without the large up-front capitalized cost.  Renting is an ideal solution for changes in production or short-term liquid storage needs.  Metano has two capacities available for rent, 350-gallons and 550-gallons.  Our dedicated customer service team will help find the best IBC solution for your application.     As a full-service supplier of IBCs, Metano is committed to helping our customers with all their IBC needs, including rental, sales, maintenance and repair, transportation, and custom application design services.   [![Stainless_Steel_IBCs.png](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/stainless%20steel%20CTA%20pic%20only%20218%20x%20160.jpg?width=221&height=162&name=stainless%20steel%20CTA%20pic%20only%20218%20x%20160.jpg)](https://www.metanousa.com/stainless-steel-ibc-tote-tanks?hsLang=en) ### Stainless Steel IBCs Stainless steel IBCs provide a cost-effective, reliable method of handling, storing and shipping liquids.
