What Are IBC Tanks?
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), also known as IBC totes or IBC tanks, are industrial-grade reusable containers designed for the storage and transport of bulk liquid and granular substances. These versatile containers have become essential across countless industries worldwide.
A standard IBC tank consists of a plastic inner container (typically high-density polyethylene or HDPE) surrounded by a protective metal cage, all mounted on an integrated pallet base. This design provides the perfect combination of durability, portability, and efficiency.

Steel Cage Frame
Galvanized or powder-coated steel cage provides structural protection and stacking capability
Integrated Pallet
Built-in pallet base allows easy handling with forklifts and pallet jacks
Top Fill Cap
6-inch or 8-inch threaded cap for filling, with optional venting capabilities
Bottom Discharge Valve

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about IBC tanks and our services.
What does IBC stand for?
IBC stands for Intermediate Bulk Container. These industrial-grade containers hold between 264 and 550 gallons and are designed for safe storage and transport of liquids or granulated materials.
What's the difference between food-grade and non-food-grade tanks?
Food-grade tanks are made from virgin HDPE and have only held food-safe products; they are cleaned to FDA standards. Non-food-grade tanks may have held industrial products and are not suitable for consumable contents.
How long do IBC tanks last?
With proper handling and limited UV exposure, IBC tanks typically last 5-10 years. Lifespan depends on what is stored, exposure to sunlight, and how the cage and pallet are treated.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes. We deliver throughout the Baltimore metro area with same-day options on in-stock items. Regional deliveries are available across Maryland and neighboring states for an additional fee.

Do you provide bulk discounts?
Yes. Pricing improves with volume across used, reconditioned, and new tanks. Let us know your quantity and timing to receive tiered pricing.
Are your tanks inspected before sale?
Every tank is visually inspected, pressure-tested where appropriate, fitted with a clean valve, and graded so you know exactly what condition you are buying.

Our Environmental Commitment
At Baltimore IBC Tanks, sustainability isn't just a buzzword - it's at the core of everything we do. By reconditioning and recycling IBC tanks, we help reduce plastic waste and minimize the environmental impact of industrial containers.
Every tank we recondition extends its useful life by years, reducing the demand for new plastic production. When tanks reach the end of their useful life, we ensure they're properly recycled, with materials recovered and repurposed.
