What Are IBC Storage Containers?
Intermediate Bulk Containers, or IBC for short, are industrial-grade containers designed mainly for handling, storing and transporting liquid or granulated materials, including chemicals, paints, food syrups, bio-waste and even hazardous goods.
What size is a typical IBC storage container?
Most popular IBC containers are rigid, cube-shaped and generally near the common pallet dimensions of 1200 x 1000 mm. They also often feature an integrated pallet base, so they can be easily manouvered with a pallet truck or a forklift truck.
IBC Transport, Lifting Equipment & Storage Containers
Any business relying on IBC containers for storage and transport of materials can benefit from increased safety and efficiency with the use of appropriate IBC equipment. A great example of this is an IBC Tipper. If, on the other hand, you'd like to further increase safety when lifting IBC containers to substantial heights, consider an IBC lifting frame, which will eliminate potential sideways slippage.
IBC bunded stores are also a great addition to any site. They offer safe storage for all types of IBCs and drums, all while making sure you stay compliant with COSHH regulations relating to sump capacities - a perfect choice when you're dealing with hazardous substances.
Advantages of IBC Equipment
IBC equipment provide a safe way of storing and transporting hazardous goods, and can transport more material in the same footprint compared to cylindrical containers, greatly increasing capacity and efficiency. Thanks to their cubic shape, most IBCs can be easily stacked vertically using a forklift truck. Most IBCs also have a built-in tap or spigot at the base for easy and fast decanting of liquids. The IBC standard size make them extremely capable of increasing logistic and handling timelines.
