It comes down to what the tote held before. Food grade totes are the ones used for water, honey, sap, and similar storage. Waste oil totes are cheaper and stay on the industrial side of the yard. Tell us the use and we will point you at the right stock.
Capacity, mainly. Both sit on the same style of pallet base and both fit standard forks, so a 330 gallon tote takes up much the same floor space while holding more. The 275 is the more common of the two sizes. Grade changes the price at 275 but not at 330.
The prices are posted on this page rather than worked out per buyer. At 275 gallon, water or food grade totes are $45 each and waste oil totes are $35. At 330 gallon both grades are $65. The number is the same whoever calls.
No, and we would not sell one to you for that. A tote that held waste oil is sold for industrial storage only. If the job involves water, food, honey, or sap, the food grade stock is the only stock to look at.
The pallet base takes forks from any side, so a tractor with pallet forks or a forklift handles it. Fittings vary between totes, so check that the valve on the one you take matches whatever you plan to connect to it.
Across Iowa and into the surrounding states, with no fixed radius. How far a load goes depends on how big the order is, so a trailer load travels further than a single tote would. Plenty of buyers collect from the yard instead. We also stock bare IBC cages and plastic egg flats if you want those on the same run.
Iowa and the surrounding states, from a yard in the north of the state. That includes Albert Lea, Austin, Cedar Falls, Charles City, Clear Lake, Des Moines, La Crosse, Mason City, Nora Springs, Omaha, Rochester, Sioux Falls, and Waterloo, plus communities right across the region. The firewood and parts storage cages and the new egg flats travel the same routes.
Let us know how many totes you need and which grade, and we will check the yard.
