20ft High Cube One-Trip IBC Storage Container — Grey — New
This IBC storage container grey, can store 1,000L IBC tanks, which standard 20ft containers cannot. The interior height falls short. This 20ft High Cube One-Trip container in grey solves that problem directly — the extra 300mm of interior clearance provides exactly the vertical space that IBC tanks require. As a result, it fits 16 x 1,000L IBC tanks in a single, secure, lockable unit.
Furthermore, access comes from two directions — hinged double doors on the 8ft end and the full 20ft side. Therefore, forklift operators load and unload IBC tanks from whichever angle suits the site layout without repositioning the container.
Additionally, every unit ships with factory-fitted lockboxes on all doors, 2 locking bars per door, 4 forklift pockets (2 per side), a 28mm marine plywood floor, and 4 passive vents — configured for IBC storage from the factory floor.

IBC Storage Container Grey Capacity
| IBC Size | Capacity Per IBC | Units Per Container | Total Storage Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard IBC | 1,000 L | 16 | 16,000 L |
A standard 20ft container interior sits at 2,385mm. A 1,000L IBC with top connections requires 2,420–2,500mm of clearance. Therefore, a standard container falls short — and this High Cube at 2,698mm interior height is the correct unit for the job.

Why This Container Works for IBC Storage
Height — The Critical Factor
Most container IBC storage failures come down to one issue — not enough interior height. Furthermore, standard 20ft containers are simply not tall enough to accommodate 1,000L IBCs with top fittings and connections in place. As a result, operators either damage fittings forcing tanks in or store IBCs externally — exposed to weather and unauthorised access.
This High Cube eliminates both problems. The 2,698mm interior height provides sufficient clearance for IBCs to stand upright with top connections fully accessible.
Dual Door Access — End and Side
The 8ft end doors allow single-file IBC loading and unloading. Moreover, the full-length 20ft side doors open the entire container wall — giving forklift operators unrestricted lateral access to all 16 tank positions. Therefore, no IBC sits in a position that requires repositioning other tanks to reach it.
Security — Lockboxes and Dual Locking Bars
Hazardous goods, chemicals, and high-value liquids stored in IBCs require secure containment. Furthermore, factory-fitted lockboxes protect padlocks from bolt cutters and angle grinders. Additionally, two locking bars per door provide a secondary barrier on every access point.
Suitable Storage Applications
- Bulk chemical and industrial liquid storage — mining, manufacturing, and construction sites
- Agricultural chemical and liquid fertiliser storage
- Food-grade liquid ingredient storage — oils, syrups, and concentrates
- Water treatment chemical storage — remote and off-grid sites
- Hydraulic fluid and lubricant storage — workshops and heavy equipment depots
