What is an IBC Tank?
An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) is a reusable industrial container designed for the transport and storage of bulk liquid and granulated substances. These versatile containers are used across numerous industries worldwide.
IBC tanks typically hold between 275 to 330 gallons (1,040 to 1,250 liters) of liquid and are designed to be moved by forklifts and pallet jacks. They feature a rigid outer cage made of galvanized steel or plastic, protecting an inner polyethylene bottle.
