Different IBC tank models for different applications

IBC-containers allow you to store and transport liquids safely and in accordance with regulations. However, which container is suitable for which liquid? With a capacity of 1000 litres, a robust IBC transport and storage tank is a container that every company should have on hand. Its robust material means it can also be used to store many acids and alkaline solutions. For the transport of flammable liquids, however, an earthed IBC-container is the right choice.

Our IBC tanks are available in a range of different designs. We have earthed models for the transport of liquids that specifically require earthing. Their special design ensures they prevent electrostatic discharges, which makes them ideal for transporting flammable liquids. We also offer UV resistant IBC-containers that are specifically designed for outdoor storage.
