20ft High Cube One-Trip Container — IBC Tank Storage — New
A purpose-configured, brand new 20ft High Cube shipping container for IBC storage container. This One-Trip High Cube fits 16 x 1,000L IBC tanks inside — made possible by the extra 300mm of interior height that a standard 20ft container cannot provide.
Furthermore, hinged double doors on both the 8ft end and the 20ft side allow full drive-in forklift access from two directions. As a result, loading and unloading IBC tanks is fast, safe, and practical on any site layout.
Moreover, the unit ships with factory-fitted lockboxes on every door, 4 forklift pockets (2 per side), and a 28mm marine plywood floor on steel cross-members — providing a robust, weather-sealed IBC storage solution from day one.

IBC Tank Storage Capacity
| IBC Size | Capacity Per IBC | Units Per Container | Total Storage Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard IBC | 1,000 L | 16 | 16,000 L |
Standard 20ft containers have an interior height of 2,385 mm. A 1,000L IBC with top fittings and connections requires approximately 2,420–2,500mm of clearance. Therefore, a standard container cannot accommodate IBCs safely. The High Cube interior height of 2,698 mm provides the necessary clearance — making this the correct unit for IBC storage.

Applications of an IBC Storage Container
Chemical and Liquid Storage
Store bulk chemicals, lubricants, fertilisers, and industrial liquids in IBC tanks inside a secure, lockable container. Furthermore, the lockbox-fitted doors and dual locking bars protect hazardous goods from unauthorised access.
Agricultural and Irrigation Storage
Farms and agricultural operations store crop protection chemicals, liquid fertilisers, and irrigation additives in IBC tanks. Moreover, the ventilated High Cube container maintains safe storage conditions year-round in outdoor environments.
Mining and Construction Sites
Remote sites store fuel additives, hydraulic fluids, and water treatment chemicals in IBC tanks. As a result, this container provides a compliant, secure, and weatherproof bulk liquid storage solution on any site.
Food and Beverage Production
Food-grade IBC tanks store liquid ingredients, syrups, oils, and concentrates. Additionally, the clean One-Trip interior and marine plywood floor provide a food-safe storage environment without chemical residue from previous cargo.
