Intermediate bulk container

Intermediate bulk containers are industrial-grade containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, partial solids, pastes, granular solids or other fluids. The magnitude of size of typically 1000 liter is intermediate between barrel resp. drum and mostly immobile storage tanks or Tank containers moved by trucks and railway.

IBCs can be handled by a single person with a pallet jack, and stacked with a fork lift if rigid.
