275 Gallon IBC Totes

About 275 Gallon IBC Totes

275 gallon IBC totes are a common capacity choice for many industry and trade applications. Common names include IBCs, IBC tanks, and IBC totes. IBC is the acronym for intermediate bulk container, so called because the tank’s capacity lies between standard 55 gallon drums and high capacity bulk storage tanks. Our IBC containers are manufactured in the USA using the latest industry materials and manufacturing practices. They are engineered to meet government and regulatory standards for numerous commodity handling applications and various transport methods for both domestic freight uses.

275 Gallon IBC Manufacturing

Our 275 gallon IBC tote containers are made from FDA compliant, BPA free, food grade virgin high density polyethylene (HDPE) resin. They are rated for up to 1.9 specific gravity fluids, and approved per ANSI/NSF 61 standards for potable water and high purity commodities. This excludes reconditioned caged IBC totes as the totes have been previously used. Manufacture includes UV inhibitors to protect the tote plastic from sunlight damage during extended outdoor use. These IBCs are engineered to Title 49 CFR requirements for transporting hazardous Packing Group II and Packing Group III materials. Design labels include UN 31HA1/Y, UN 31H1/Y, and UN 31H2/Y.

Design Characteristics and Advantages

275 gallon IBC tanks are robust, simplistically effective, and versatile cargo containers efficient in withstanding the stress of transport and repeat work conditions. Due to their reusability and size, IBCs can and will save a company money over time when compared to drums, making them long term logistic assets ideal for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, agricultural, and many distributor based needs.

Intermediate bulk containers make excellent choices for sensitive, potentially degradative commodities. Such materials, chemicals, ingredients, etc. that are sensitive to damaging effects of environmental exposure are protected due to the IBC’s engineering. 275 gallon IBC totes provide ample storage for transport and direct applications involving a vast assortment of such materials. IBC cargo can be stored, handled, and shipped with limited risk to cargo integrity.

275 Gallon IBC Handling, Transport Engineering

275 gallon totes are engineered to save space and be easier to handle and use, especially when compared to drum transport containers. As an alternative, a single 275 gallon IBC tote is the direct equivalent of five 55 gallon drums contained within a single, standard pallet’s size dimensions. IBCs are freestanding and cubical in shape, rather than cylindrical. This makes them significantly easier to maneuver, stack, organize in position and ultimately transport.

All IBCs feature forklift channels for multidirectional access and movement by forklift or pallet jack. All IBCs are stackable. Total stacking height depends on IBC type, total weight, and general workplace safety. All but caged IBC models have high reusability and retain their applicable use for years to provide potentially hundreds of successful service trips.

IBC Tanks offers the following 275 gallon IBC models and types:

  • Standard Stackable IBC
  • Premium Stacking IBC
  • Wide Mouth Premium IBC
  • Ultratainer IBC
  • Wide Mouth Ultratainer IBC
  • Payloader IBC

Intermediate bulk containers have various customization options available depending on the needs of an application. Wholesale discounts may be available for full truck load or large quantity recurring orders on composite caged IBC totes. Contact us for more information or custom IBC order requests.
