Save Money on Storage: Buy Used IBC Totes in Plano, TX

You'll save 30-70% on storage costs when you buy used IBC totes instead of new ones. These large containers hold 275-330 gallons and work great for water, chemicals, and other liquids.

What Are IBC Totes?

IBC stands for Intermediate Bulk Container. Think of them as big plastic tanks inside metal cages. They're like giant milk jugs but much stronger.

Size: About 4 feet wide, 4 feet long, and 4 feet tall

Capacity: 275 gallons (most common) or 330 gallons

Weight: Around 140 pounds when empty

Why Buy Used?

Example: A new IBC tote costs $400-600. A used one costs $40-100. That's real money saved.

You get the same storage capacity. The container still holds liquids safely. The metal cage protects it from damage.

Types You Can Buy

Basic Used: Sold as-is. Good for non-food liquids like water for irrigation. Price: $40-60 each

Food-Grade Used: Cleaned and safe for food products. Price: $85-100 each

Reconditioned: Thoroughly cleaned and tested. Like getting a used car that's been inspected. Price: $120-140 each

Frequently Asked Questions

What are standard IBC tote dimensions?

A 275-gallon (1,000 L) tote is 40" x 48" x 46" and a 330-gallon (1,250 L) tote is 40" x 48" x 53". Both share the 48" x 40" GMA footprint; whether a filled tote can go in a rack depends on its base (steel or plastic pallet, or composite) and on rated rack decking, never on bare beams. The 550-gallon size is 47" x 41" x 70".

How much does an IBC tote weigh?

Empty, a 275-gallon composite tote weighs 118 to 145 lbs and a 330-gallon tote 130 to 160 lbs. Filled with water, including the tare, a 275-gallon tote is about 2,400 lbs and a 330-gallon tote about 2,900 lbs, so a full tote needs a forklift or a pallet jack rated above that gross weight, moved on a level dock or truck bed.

What is the difference between rebottled, reconditioned, rinsed, and used totes?

Rebottled means a brand-new inner bottle in a used cage, the closest thing to new. Reconditioned totes are professionally cleaned, pressure-tested, and inspected. Rinsed totes were cleaned but not certified. Used totes are sold as-is and uncleaned, with prior contents disclosed when the seller knows them; all 4 grades apply to any size, and the standard 275- and 330-gallon composite totes sit on the same 48" x 40" cage base while the 550-gallon tote is 47" x 41".

Can I use a used IBC tote for drinking water or food?

Drinking water needs a new or rebottled bottle with NSF/ANSI 61-rated components; food-grade history and a reconditioner's cleaning do not make a used bottle potable. Food contact short of drinking water needs the reconditioner's food-grade certification on a rebottled tote or a reconditioned tote whose prior contents were food-grade. Grade and history alone are not enough; rinsed and as-is used totes are for non-potable use, and a tote that held chemicals or oils cannot be certified food-safe by rinsing because HDPE absorbs some of what it holds. Listings show prior contents where the seller knows them, and a certified 275-gallon rebottled tote is the usual choice for potable water.

How many IBC totes fit on a truck?

A 53-foot dry van carries up to 60 empty 275- or 330-gallon totes double-stacked on its 26 to 30 floor positions, but only when the second tier is built inside the trailer, because two 53" 330s are 106" against a 105" rear door and, on a standard 60" flatbed deck, reach 166" against the 162" legal height (a step deck's 36" lower deck keeps the stack near 142"), while two 46" 275s stack to 92" and roll in pre-built; the 70" tall 550-gallon tote cannot double-stack under a 110" ceiling, so it caps at 30 empty. Filled totes are weight-bound: 18 of the 275-gallon size (about 2,400 lbs each) or 15 of the 330-gallon size (about 2,900 lbs) reach the 45,000-lb payload. One 275-gallon tote replaces roughly five 55-gallon drums, so a tote load moves far more volume per pallet position.
