Used 330 Gallon IBC Totes for Sale

The 330-gallon IBC tote is the high-capacity workhorse of the intermediate bulk container world. Built on the same standard 40" x 48" pallet as its 275-gallon counterpart, the 330-gallon model stands 7 inches taller at 53 inches, delivering a full 20% more liquid capacity without taking up any additional floor space in your warehouse, trailer, or work site. Our used 330-gallon composite IBCs feature the same proven design as all composite totes: a blow-molded HDPE inner bottle surrounded by a welded galvanized steel cage, mounted on a durable pallet with integrated 4-way forklift entry. Each unit we sell has been cleaned, inspected, and verified for structural integrity before it ships. For high-volume operations like large-scale agriculture, chemical blending facilities, or industrial manufacturing, the 330-gallon format means fewer containers to purchase, handle, and store. You move more liquid per pallet position, reduce forklift trips, and simplify your logistics. And because you're buying used, you're getting all of that additional capacity at a significant discount compared to new units. These are the same commercial-grade containers used by Fortune 500 companies, chemical distributors, and food processors worldwide — just at a price point that makes sense for every business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a 330-gallon IBC over a 275-gallon?

The 330-gallon IBC holds 55 more gallons (20% more) than a 275-gallon unit while occupying the exact same 40" x 48" pallet footprint. The only difference is height — 53" vs 46". This means you can store and transport significantly more product per container without needing additional floor space. For businesses that handle large liquid volumes, switching to 330-gallon IBCs can reduce the total number of containers needed, cutting costs on purchasing, handling, cleaning, and warehouse storage.

Will a 330-gallon IBC fit in my existing racking or trailer?

The 330-gallon IBC uses the standard 40" x 48" pallet, so it fits in all standard pallet racking and on all standard flatbed and enclosed trailers. However, because it is 7 inches taller than the 275-gallon version, you should verify that your racking has sufficient vertical clearance — a minimum of 56 inches between shelf levels is recommended to allow for comfortable loading and unloading. Most standard warehouse racking accommodates this height without any adjustments.

What were these 330-gallon totes previously used for?

Our used 330-gallon IBCs have typically held non-hazardous industrial and commercial liquids including soaps, glycerin, food-grade syrups, cleaning compounds, and water-based solutions. We do not sell containers with prior hazardous material history. Known prior-use information is documented on each unit where available, and we can source containers with specific content histories upon request.

How heavy is a full 330-gallon IBC?

A 330-gallon IBC weighs approximately 145 lbs empty. When filled with water (8.34 lbs per gallon), the total loaded weight is approximately 2,900 lbs. You will need a forklift, pallet jack, or crane rated for at least 3,000 lbs to safely move a full 330-gallon container. Always verify that your flooring, racking, and transport equipment can support the loaded weight before filling.

Can I stack full 330-gallon IBCs?

Yes, 330-gallon IBCs are engineered for stacking up to 2 containers high when full, just like the 275-gallon version. The galvanized steel cage distributes the weight from the upper container evenly across the lower unit. Stack on a flat, level surface only, and make sure both containers are in good structural condition with no cage damage or pallet warping. Never exceed a 2-high stack for full containers.

Do you offer food-grade 330-gallon IBCs?

Yes. We carry food-grade certified used 330-gallon IBCs that have been triple-washed and meet FDA standards for food-contact applications. These are ideal for large-volume food and beverage operations, juice processing, syrup storage, and potable water. Let us know you need food-grade units when you request your quote and we will pull inventory accordingly.
