Intermediate Bulk Container- How do you fit them in a 20ft box container?

18 08 2009

There was an interesting question that popped up on my email and I thought I would share it with all of you. Concerning the fitment of these totes inside a 20Ft container, the only way to get them to fit (we are discussing 550 gall IBC totes)is to stagger them.

The next consideration is weight.  If you are planning to ship a container full of totes (empty) then you can fit approximately 10 units.  Now, if you are shipping them full, my suggestion is to do the numbers and double check the max weight allowed to make sure you do not exceed it.
