Your Guide Into IBC Totes

By Douglas Kennedy


IBC stands for Intermediate bulk container. IBC Totes is a reusable industrial container that lets you transport and store bulk liquids and granulated substances. These can be stacked to one another and is designed to move using a pallet jack or a forklift. They are not called intermediate for no reason, their volume range is between drums and tanks.

You can have it customized. When you have an exact requirement for its dimensions, the material, and the capacity, you can have it that way. Just make sure that the pallet dimension is the standard rate of your country as there is a specific standard that is given by the law that you have to follow.

If you look at pictures of totes on the internet, you may have notice that the form is cubic. The manufacturers made it that way because cubic form gives you tons of space. With this, the amount of things that you will be storing or transporting is maximized, which is good. This made transporting easier and money wise.

As mentioned above, these things lets you store and ship various items. You can put goods and materials which are both dangerous and hazardous. Raw materials can be stored inside too. Ingredient for food which are either liquefy, powdered, and granulated are okay. Food syrups are not a problem at all. For those who wants to store their rain water use this.

The only thing you might be considering is the price since this cost a bit higher than the rest of the containers, but it is worth the money though. When you want to save some cash, why not buy those secondhand ones instead. You may buy a new bottle with a washed cage or both the bottle and cage are only washed and is already second hand.

There are a lot of sellers online that sells used one who are offering for a lower price, you just have to know where you can locate one. As you know, the internet world has it own dangers. Scammers are just lurking on a corner trying to find its next victim. So, make sure that you are dealing with the right person to avoid such thing from happening.

This can be bought usually on hardware stores. But, if you do not want the hassle of finding a store that sells it, online buying is your option. The good thing about only is that you do not have to exert effort as the product is going to be delivered straight to your doorstep, you only need to do a few clicks and typing for this.

Now, these things could be dangerous when you exposed them on fires. If it contains combustible or flammable liquids, it will rapidly melt and burn, so you really have to look out for it all the time. When you are storing noncombustible and flammable, it will be less dangerous but you still need to keep an eye on it.

These things do not easily aged and gets broken over the years, totes are very durable that is why many are into this. Animals cannot easily chew on it so you do not have to worry about getting the containers some holes. Every time you buy these, make sure you inspect the product first, you might be given a defective one.
