How to Select the Right Tank
Consider these key factors when choosing your IBC tank to ensure you get the perfect solution for your needs.
Intended Contents
What will you store? Water, chemicals, food products, or hazardous materials each have different requirements. Food-grade requires FDA-compliant materials; hazmat needs UN certification.
Capacity Needs
Calculate your storage volume requirements. Standard sizes are 275 and 330 gallons. Consider if you need multiple smaller tanks or fewer larger ones for your space.
Space Constraints
Measure your available space carefully. Standard tanks are about 4ft x 4ft footprint. Consider ceiling height, door widths, and forklift access when planning placement.
Handling Equipment
Full IBC tanks weigh 1,800-2,200+ lbs. Ensure you have proper equipment - forklift or pallet jack - for moving tanks. Steel cages include forklift pockets and pallet bases.
Chemical Compatibility
HDPE plastic is compatible with most chemicals but not all. Check chemical compatibility charts before storing acids, solvents, or other aggressive substances. We can advise on compatibility.
Budget Considerations
Balance upfront cost with long-term value. Used tanks offer lowest cost; reconditioned provide best value; new tanks are required for certified applications. Consider bulk discounts for multiple units.
Our Quality Grading System
Every tank we sell is professionally graded so you know exactly what you are getting. Our transparent grading system helps you choose the right quality level for your application.
Premium Grade
Excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear. Bottle is clear or lightly tinted with no significant scratches or staining.
- Clean, clear bottle
- Pristine cage
- Like-new appearance
- Ideal for visible storage
Standard Grade
Good condition with some cosmetic wear. May have light scratching or minor discoloration that does not affect function.
- Fully functional
- Minor cosmetic wear
- Great value choice
- Most common grade
Economy Grade
Noticeable cosmetic wear but structurally sound. May have staining, scratches, or minor dents to the cage.
- Budget-friendly
- Fully functional
- Cosmetic imperfections
- Best for utility use
Reconditioned
Brand new bottle installed in a Grade B or C cage. Combines new bottle performance with cost savings.
- New HDPE bottle
- Refurbished cage
- Food-grade available
- Best overall value
All Grades Are Fully Functional
Regardless of cosmetic grade, every tank we sell passes our rigorous inspection process and is guaranteed to hold liquid without leaking. Grades reflect appearance only - not function.
Our Inspection Process
Every tank undergoes our comprehensive 10-point inspection before being offered for sale. This ensures you receive a tank you can trust.
Visual Bottle Inspection
Check for cracks, UV damage, excessive scratching, or chemical staining that could affect integrity.
Valve Function Test
Every valve is tested for proper operation, seal integrity, and leak-free performance.
Lid and Gasket Check
Top lid and gasket inspected for proper seal and any damage that could cause leaks.
Cage Structural Assessment
Steel cage examined for rust, bent bars, weld integrity, and structural soundness.
Pallet Base Evaluation
Pallet base checked for damage, rot (wood pallets), or structural issues that affect handling.
Water Fill Test
Tanks are filled with water and monitored for leaks at seams, valve, and any stressed areas.
Pressure Test (Reconditioned)
Reconditioned and new tanks undergo pressure testing to verify seal integrity under stress.
Previous Contents Verification
We document what each tank previously held to ensure appropriate resale and safe reuse.
Cleaning Verification
Confirm tank has been properly cleaned and is free of residue from previous contents.
Final Quality Grade Assignment
Based on inspection results, each tank receives its quality grade (A, B, C, or R) and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying

Used tanks are pre-owned and cleaned but retain their original bottle and components - best for non-food applications like water storage or irrigation. Reconditioned tanks have a brand new HDPE bottle installed in a refurbished steel cage, offering like-new performance at a fraction of the cost. New tanks are completely manufactured new, ideal for food-grade or UN-certified hazardous material applications where certification is required.
The most common sizes are 275-gallon and 330-gallon tanks. A 275-gallon tank measures approximately 48" L x 40" W x 46" H and weighs about 1,800 lbs when full. A 330-gallon tank is approximately 48" L x 40" W x 53" H and weighs about 2,200 lbs full. Consider your storage space, weight capacity, and liquid volume needs when choosing.

Yes, but only specific tanks. For potable water storage, you need a food-grade tank made from FDA-compliant virgin HDPE.
