How to Buy the Right Tote

Step 1: Know Your Needs

Smart Buying Tips

Check Previous Contents: Example: A tote that held soap is safer to reuse than one that held chemicals. Always ask what was stored before.

Look for UN Ratings: Find "UN31HA1/Y" or similar markings. These mean the tote meets safety standards for transporting regulated materials.

Inspect Valves and Seals: Common valve types: 2-inch camlock or NPT threads. Make sure gaskets aren't cracked or missing.

Buy in Bulk for Savings: Example: 10 totes might cost $200 each instead of $250 each. Plus, you'll save on freight costs per unit.

Consider Total Cost: Don't just compare tote prices. Factor in:

• Freight/pickup costs

• Cleaning costs if needed

• Time to inspect and prepare

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't assume all totes are the same: Food-grade costs more but is required for safe food storage.

Don't skip the inspection: A $50 savings isn't worth it if the tote leaks.

Don't forget about transport: A 275-gallon tote weighs 135 pounds empty. Plan accordingly.
