Caged IBC Totes

Caged Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are highly versatile and durable storage solutions designed for the efficient handling, transport, and use of liquids and granular materials. These containers feature a robust, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inner tank encased in a galvanized steel cage, providing structural protection and stability. The design integrates a pallet base, allowing for easy mobility and handling using forklifts and pallet jacks.

Ideal for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials, caged IBC totes meet stringent industry standards, including DOT/UN 31HA1/Y approval for Packing Groups II and III. Available in 275-gallon and 330-gallon capacities, these IBCs are suitable for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and agricultural applications.

Types of Caged IBC Totes

1. New Caged IBC Totes

Completely new units that have never been used.
Manufactured with virgin HDPE, ensuring purity and compliance with food and pharmaceutical standards.
Ideal for applications requiring the highest level of material integrity.

2. Rebottled Caged IBC Totes

Feature a brand-new HDPE inner bottle housed within a previously used and refurbished steel cage.
Provide a balance between cost-effectiveness and high performance.
Suitable for industrial applications where pristine inner tanks are required.

3. Reconditioned Caged IBC Totes

Previously used units that have undergone extensive cleaning and inspection.
Offer the most affordable option for non-consumable liquid storage.
Not recommended for potable water or consumable products due to prior use.

Manufacturing and Quality Standards

Caged IBC totes are constructed from FDA-certified, BPA-free food-grade HDPE, making them ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and potable water storage applications. The HDPE composition includes UV inhibitors, preventing degradation from sunlight and allowing safe outdoor use. The external galvanized steel frame ensures impact resistance, rust protection, and long-term durability.

Designed for industrial-grade performance, these containers are engineered using modern manufacturing technologies, ensuring structural integrity, chemical resistance, and long-lasting reliability.

Common Applications

Caged IBC totes are widely used across various industries, including:

Water Storage & Distribution: Potable water storage, rainwater collection, irrigation.
Food & Beverage Processing: Syrups, oils, liquid sweeteners, food-grade powders.
Chemical & Industrial Use: Acids, solvents, detergents, adhesives, and cleaning solutions.
Agriculture & Horticulture: Fertilizers, pesticides, liquid feeds, and soil treatments.
Pharmaceutical & Healthcare: Storage of medical-grade liquids, alcohol-based sanitizers.

Advantages of Caged IBC Totes

✔ Durability – The combination of high-density polyethylene and galvanized steel offers superior impact resistance and long service life.

✔ Efficiency – Cube-shaped design maximizes space efficiency compared to traditional drum storage. One 275-gallon IBC replaces five 55-gallon drums, optimizing storage capacity and reducing footprint.

✔ Mobility & Handling – Integrated four-way forklift and pallet jack entry ensures easy transportation and maneuverability.

✔ Versatility – Suitable for liquid, solid, and granular materials, including hazardous and non-hazardous substances.

✔ Stackable Design – Empty caged IBC totes can be stacked up to three high, improving storage efficiency and logistics.

✔ Cost-Effectiveness – Available in new, rebottled, and reconditioned options, offering scalable pricing to fit diverse operational budgets.

✔ Environmental Sustainability – Rebottled and reconditioned models promote reusability and recycling, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Additional Features & Accessories
