275 Gallon FAQs
Why is 275 gallon the most popular size?
The 275 gallon IBC became the industry standard because it offers optimal balance: enough capacity for most applications, fits through standard 8-foot doorways, works with all standard forklifts, and matches the GMA pallet footprint. It's the "just right" size.
How much does a full 275 gallon IBC weigh?
With water (8.34 lbs/gallon), a full 275 gallon IBC weighs approximately 2,400 lbs (1,090 kg). Heavier liquids like chemicals will weigh more. Always verify your floor and equipment can handle the weight.
Will a 275 gallon IBC fit in my truck?
Yes! A standard pickup truck bed (6.5ft) can fit one 275 gallon IBC. A full-size pickup (8ft bed) can fit two side by side. Box trucks and trailers can fit many more based on interior dimensions.
Can I stack 275 gallon IBCs?
Yes, properly designed IBC totes can be safely stacked 2-3 high when full, or up to 4 high when empty. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and ensure the bottom tote's cage is in good condition.
What is the opening size on a 275 gallon IBC?
Standard 275 gallon IBCs have either a 6-inch or 8-inch top opening with a threaded screw cap. The 8-inch opening is more common and makes filling easier. Some have 4-inch secondary openings.
How long do 275 gallon IBCs last?
With proper care, the steel cage can last indefinitely. The HDPE bottle typically has a 5-year recommended life for hazardous materials (UN certification). For non-hazmat use, bottles often last 10+ years.
