Complete Buying Guide
What to Look For When Buying
- ●Previous Contents: Always ask what was previously stored in the tank. Food-grade tanks should only have held food products, beverages, or food-safe materials. Chemical-grade tanks may have contained various industrial substances - verify compatibility with your intended use.
- ●Structural Integrity: Examine the outer steel cage for rust, dents, or structural damage. Check the inner HDPE bladder for cracks, tears, punctures, or discoloration. Verify the wooden or plastic pallet is solid, level, and free from rot or breaks.
- ●Valve Condition: Test all valves (typically 2" bottom valve and 6" top cap) for smooth operation. Check rubber seals and gaskets for wear, cracking, or deterioration. Ensure threading is intact and connections don't cross-thread.
- ●Certifications: Verify UN certification markings if you need to transport hazardous materials. Check for FDA compliance stamps for food-grade applications. Confirm NSF certification where required for specific industries.
- ●Cleanliness: Interior should be clean with no residue, staining, or odors. Minor discoloration is acceptable for non-food use, but strong chemical smells or significant staining may indicate the tank held incompatible materials.
Our Quality Assurance Process
Every IBC tank we sell undergoes our comprehensive 6-point inspection process to ensure it meets strict quality standards:
- 1. Visual Inspection: Thorough examination of cage for rust or damage, bladder for cracks or discoloration, pallet for structural integrity, and overall cosmetic condition.
- 2. Leak Testing: Pressure testing to verify bladder integrity and ensure there are no leaks in the container body, seams, or welds.
- 3. Valve Testing: Operational check of all valves, caps, and fittings. Testing seals for proper compression and leak-free operation.
- 4. Cleanliness Assessment: Verification of interior cleanliness based on previous contents and intended grade classification.
- 5. Certification Review: Validation of all required markings, stamps, and documentation including UN ratings, FDA compliance, and manufacture dates.
- 6. Accurate Grading: Final classification as Grade A, B, or C based on our standardized criteria, ensuring transparent and consistent quality across our inventory.
Understanding Pricing Factors
IBC tank pricing is influenced by multiple factors. Understanding these helps you make informed purchasing decisions and get the best value for your investment:
Condition Grade
Grade A tanks (like-new, 1-2 uses) command premium prices due to excellent condition and versatility. Grade B tanks (3-5 uses, good condition) offer the best value for most applications. Grade C tanks (5+ uses, economy grade) provide maximum cost savings for non-critical uses.
Previous Contents
Tanks that held food-grade materials (juice, syrup, glycerin) cost more due to FDA compliance and broader usability. Tanks with clean chemical history (soap, surfactants) are mid-range. Those with harsher chemical history are priced lower.
Certifications
UN-rated tanks for hazardous materials transport, NSF-certified food-grade tanks, and tanks with specific industry certifications (kosher, organic, halal) carry higher value due to their regulatory compliance and broader market applicability.
Quantity Purchased
Volume discounts apply for bulk orders. Purchasing 10+ tanks qualifies for tier 1 pricing (10% discount), 50+ for tier 2 (20% discount), and 100+ for our best wholesale rates (25-30% discount). Custom pricing available for 200+ units.
Market Demand
Seasonal demand fluctuations affect pricing. Spring and summer see higher demand for agricultural applications. Year-end often brings budget-driven purchases from businesses. We strive to maintain competitive rates year-round through efficient inventory management.
Delivery Requirements
Local delivery within Phoenix metro area is most economical. Regional transport (within Arizona) has moderate fees. Long-distance shipping is calculated based on mileage, quantity, and freight considerations. Self-pickup always offers the lowest total cost.

Choosing the Right Tank for Your Needs
Grade Selection Guide
Choose Grade A When:
- • You need food-grade certification for sensitive products
- • Your application requires pharmaceutical-grade containers
- • Company policy mandates like-new equipment
- • You want maximum resale value after use
- • Appearance matters for client-facing operations
- • Budget allows for premium pricing (typically $180-250 per tank)
Choose Grade B When:
- • You need reliable, functional tanks at good value
- • Light cosmetic wear is acceptable
- • Standard industrial or agricultural applications
- • Balancing quality and cost is important
- • Most common choice - offers best overall value
- • Budget-conscious but quality-focused (typically $100-150 per tank)
Choose Grade C When:
- • Maximum cost savings is your primary goal
- • Non-critical storage applications
- • Appearance and age don't matter
- • Short-term or temporary use
- • DIY projects or experimental applications
- • Very tight budget constraints (typically $50-80 per tank)
Size Selection: 275 vs 330 Gallon
275 Gallon (1040 L) - Most Common
Dimensions: 48" x 40" x 46" tall
Best for standard applications, fits through most doorways, easier to maneuver, lower shipping costs, wider availability in all grades. Ideal for most small to medium operations.
330 Gallon (1250 L) - High Volume
Dimensions: 48" x 40" x 53" tall
Better for high-volume operations, 20% more capacity per footprint, same pallet size as 275, better cost per gallon for bulk storage. Consider ceiling height and handling equipment capacity.
