Translucent white IBC container

Storing and transporting large volumes of industrial liquids —jobsite water, fuels, fertilizers, chemicals— with visual control of the fill level and approval for hazardous substances, without taking up the space of multiple 200 L drums and with safe forklift handling, calls for an IBC container with a translucent HDPE tank in a galvanized steel cage. This Translucent White IBC Container —also called a white IBC tote, transparent IBC container, IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) or tote tank— is manufactured by Cargobo from semi-transparent virgin HDPE that lets you see the liquid level at a glance, with a tubular galvanized steel cage and an integrated palletized base, in a 120×100×115 cm format with a capacity of 1000 L (265 gal), UN-approved (UN marking) for hazardous substances, designed for construction, agriculture, the chemical industry and liquid logistics.

Key benefits

• Translucent tank with visual level control: the semi-transparent HDPE lets you check at a glance how much liquid is left without opening the lid or installing additional instrumentation, a critical condition for dosing, inventory and timely refilling in continuous operation.
• 1000 L capacity with UN approval: a usable volume of 1000 liters (265 gallons) with certification for the international transport of category II and III hazardous substances, a critical condition for chemicals, fuels and regulated liquids that don't allow non-approved containers.
• Chemical-resistant virgin HDPE tank: high-density polyethylene withstands most diluted acids, bases, oils, liquid fertilizers and common fuels without material degradation (check the chemical compatibility chart for specific liquids).
• Tubular galvanized steel cage: the metal structure protects the tank against forklift impacts, drops and continuous logistics handling, a critical condition for the integrity of the contents in inter-island transit.
• Integrated 4-way palletized base: the lower base with entries on all four sides allows handling with forklifts and pallet jacks in any orientation, with no need to adapt the operation to the container.
• Bottom discharge valve and filling cap: the standard-thread valve system allows controlled emptying and connection to garden hoses or industrial piping, while the top cap makes gravity or pump filling easy.

Applications and typical uses

• Water storage for construction works, agricultural irrigation and professional gardening systems, with visual control of consumption.
• Containment of liquid fertilizers, pesticides and diluted agrochemicals in farming operations that require precise dosing.
• Storage of industrial chemicals, lubricating oils and fuels under UN regulation.
• Rainwater harvesting for sustainability in residential and commercial projects.

Quality and durability

A cheap IBC container fails at two points: the HDPE is low-grade recycled material (which reduces service life under continuous chemical exposure and disqualifies it for regulated substances) and the cage is steel without deep galvanizing (which rusts in the Caribbean climate within a few months). Cargobo works with translucent virgin HDPE and uniform galvanizing with current UN approval, which sets apart a regulated professional-operation IBC from a generic tank that doesn't pass a safety audit.
