If you’re looking for a reliable and economical bulk storage option, 250 Gallon IBC Totes are just what you need. These IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making them perfect for safely storing and transporting hazardous or non-hazardous liquids. Most IBCs come with a top opening and a 2" drain valve, so it's easy to access the contents and safely empty them when needed. And because they have built-in fork slots at the bottom of each container, they are straightforward to move from one location to another. Plus, their 1/2" thick high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell makes them some of the most robust totes in the industry - ideal for stacking on top of each other without sacrificing your safety.
Many companies offer discounts for large orders and carry sizes ranging from 120 gallons up to 550 gallons for all your liquid handling needs. Most products have been UN DOT approved, so you can feel confident that every item we provide meets or exceeds government standards.
250-gallon totes are among the most common sizes used across many industries. Because these totes can be made from a wide variety of materials, the main types being:
- Stainless steel
- Carbon Steel
- HDPE (high-density polyethylene)
These IBC totes and IBC tanks are best for various materials, including transporting hazardous or non-hazardous chemicals. Depending on the contents placed within the IBC tanks and IBC totes and the results of their relative stacking test load, you may be able to stack them up to 4 high. However, if you are transporting chemicals, especially hazardous liquids, limiting the stacking to 2 high is safer.
What are the dimensions of a 250-gallon tote?
Most intermediate bulk containers have a standard pallet dimension for the base to move them more easily. Sizes are approximately 48” x 42” for the 250-gallon IBC container. Composite ICBs have four-way directional access channels for improved pallet jacking and fork lifting maneuverability. But a prevalent question that many people ask is, how much does a 250-gallon tote weigh? Below we will discuss more details specific to each material that intermediate bulk containers can be made of. While they all have the exact standard sizes and base dimensions, they can all be used for different applications. IBC containers have such a high versatility.
