Choosing the Right Size
Consider Your Volume Needs
Choose 275 gallon for standard applications, 330 gallon when you need maximum capacity.
Check Your Space
All standard IBCs have the same footprint, so they fit the same pallet spaces.
Think About Handling
Remember that larger IBCs are heavier when full. Ensure your equipment can handle the weight.
Stacking Requirements
If stacking IBCs, verify the combined weight does not exceed stacking limits.
