A thorough inspection is the foundation of IBC safety and reliability. Whether you're evaluating used IBCs before purchase, assessing your existing fleet's condition, or verifying compliance before filling and shipping, our multi-point inspection service gives you a clear picture of every container's condition. Each IBC is evaluated against a standardized checklist by trained inspectors who know exactly what to look for.
Our inspection reports go beyond simple pass/fail. We document the condition of every major component — the HDPE bottle, steel cage, discharge valve, gaskets, lid, pallet, and all regulatory markings — with detailed notes on wear, damage, and remaining service life. This information helps you make informed decisions about reconditioning, continued use, or replacement.
What We Inspect

Cracks, stress marks, UV degradation, warping, discoloration, interior contamination, wall thickness

How It Works
Schedule Your Inspection
Contact us with the number of IBCs you need inspected and your requirements — standard condition assessment, pre-purchase verification, or compliance audit. We can inspect at our facility or arrange on-site inspections at your location.
Multi-Point Assessment
Each IBC goes through our comprehensive multi-point inspection checklist covering the HDPE bottle, steel cage, discharge valve, gaskets, lid/cap, pallet, and all markings. Every component is graded on a standardized scale.
Condition Report Generation
We compile detailed condition reports for each inspected IBC, documenting the state of every component with condition grades, defect descriptions, and photographs where applicable. Reports include pass/fail recommendations.
Recommendations & Next Steps
Based on inspection findings, we provide actionable recommendations — whether an IBC is good for continued use, needs reconditioning, requires specific repairs, or should be disposed of. We can handle any recommended services in-house.
