330 Gallon FAQs

Is a 330 gallon IBC worth the extra cost?

For high-volume users, absolutely. While 330 gallon totes cost about 10-15% more, they hold 20% more liquid. This means better cost per gallon, fewer containers to manage, and reduced handling. If you have the ceiling height, they're often the smarter choice.

Will a 330 gallon IBC fit through my door?

Probably! At 53" tall, 330 gallon IBCs fit through standard 7-foot (84") doors with plenty of clearance. The challenge is typically ceiling height in the storage area, not doorways. Measure your storage location's ceiling height.

How much heavier is a full 330 vs 275?

About 500 lbs more. A full 330 gallon IBC with water weighs approximately 2,900 lbs vs 2,400 lbs for a 275 gallon. This is significant - ensure your floor and handling equipment can manage the extra weight.

Can I stack 330 gallon IBCs?

Yes, but with more caution than 275s due to the extra weight. Most are rated for 2-high stacking when full. The cage construction is typically heavier-duty to support the additional weight. Always check manufacturer ratings.

Are 330 gallon IBCs harder to find?

They're less common than 275s, so yes, there's typically less availability in the used market. New and reconditioned 330 gallon totes are readily available though. We recommend ordering in advance for larger quantities.

What's the cost difference between 275 and 330 gallon?

New 330 gallon IBCs typically cost $30-50 more than comparable 275 gallon models. Reconditioned and used pricing varies by availability. On a per-gallon basis, 330s usually offer better value.
