    UN-Compliant Shipping Tanks

    Also known as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), these tanks are designed to safely ship liquids. They're tested to comply with United Nations regulations for packaging and shipping hazardous material over land, sea, or air. These regulations aim to prevent hazardous spills caused by accidents or rough package handling. Unlike round drums, these tanks can be tightly packed side-by-side to maximize your floor space. They’re protected by a rigid tubular steel cage. They can be stacked two high when tank is full and four high when empty.
    Note: It is the responsibility of the shipper to follow regulatory guidelines for properly packaging and labeling all hazardous materials and ensure the appropriate method for shipping.

    UV-Resistant UN-Compliant Shipping Tanks

    Protect shipments of hazardous material during transit. A UV-resistant coating shields these tanks from sun damage, preventing leaks through weakened walls. They’re also protected by a rigid steel cage. These tanks comply with United Nations regulations for packaging and shipping hazardous material over land, sea, or air.
    These tanks are also known as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). They store five times as much material as a 55 gal. drum. Unlike round drums, these tanks can be tightly packed side-by-side to maximize your floor space. For added capacity, stack them two high when full or four high when empty.
    Note: It is the responsibility of the shipper to follow regulatory guidelines for properly packaging and labeling all hazardous materials and ensure the appropriate method for shipping.
