20ft High Cube One-Trip Container — Food Grade IBC Liquid Storage — New
A clean, never-loaded 20ft High Cube container configured for food-grade IBC liquid storage. This One-Trip container fits 16 x 1,000L food-grade IBC tanks — providing up to 16,000 litres of secure, ambient liquid ingredient storage for food and beverage manufacturing, processing, and distribution operations.
Furthermore, the One-Trip condition is particularly important for food-grade applications. A new container carries no chemical residue, no prior cargo contamination, and no odour from previous loads — delivering a food-safe interior environment from day one without additional cleaning or certification overhead.
Moreover, the High Cube interior height of 2,698mm provides the clearance that 1,000L food-grade IBCs with top inlet fittings and bottom outlet valves require. As a result, tanks load cleanly, connections remain accessible, and operators avoid the fitting damage caused by forcing IBCs into standard-height containers.

Why One-Trip Matters for Food Grade Liquid Storage
No Prior Cargo Contamination
Used containers carry residual contamination risk from previous cargo — chemicals, solvents, non-food materials, and odour-causing compounds that absorb into timber flooring and wall surfaces. Furthermore, this contamination risk is unacceptable for food-grade liquid storage where ingredient purity and traceability are compliance requirements.
A One-Trip container eliminates this risk. The interior is factory-new — no prior cargo, no residue, no contamination history. As a result, it provides a food-safe ambient storage environment from the moment it arrives on site.
IBC Height Clearance
Food-grade IBCs with top inlet fittings, breather valves, and fill connections require 2,420–2,500mm of interior clearance to sit level with connections fully accessible. Moreover, the High Cube interior height of 2,698mm provides this clearance with room to spare — protecting fittings and connections from door damage during loading and operation.
Dual Access for Food Handling Equipment
The full-length 20ft side doors allow forklift and pump equipment lateral access to all 16 IBC positions simultaneously. Therefore, food production teams access any IBC in the storage layout without repositioning other tanks — reducing handling time and spill risk during ingredient draws.
