What You Need to Know About IBC Tanks

An IBC tank, or Intermediate Bulk Container, is a pallet-mounted industrial container used to store and transport bulk liquids and semi-solids. These containers combine a strong, UV-stabilized HDPE inner tank with a robust metal cage, designed to handle stacking, lifting, and movement via forklift.

IBC tanks are a smart option when you want more capacity than a drum, but more maneuverability than a large fixed tank. Their construction follows strict intermediate bulk container specifications, ensuring they are safe, stackable, and compliant with transport and storage standards.
