High-Quality IBC Totes and Cages Across Iowa and the Upper Midwest

It comes down to what the tote held before. Food grade totes are rinsed twice. One more rinse with water and Dawn soap is recommended before use. Those are the totes buyers take for water, honey, sap, and similar storage. Waste oil and industrial totes are cheaper and stay on the industrial side of the yard.

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.

Firewood is the big one. The open mesh seasons split wood while keeping it off the ground, and the cages stack where a timber rack would rot out. After that it is parts storage, material storage, and holding awkward stock that has to stay outside.

The base measures 40 by 48 inches and the cage stands roughly four feet tall. That is a standard pallet footprint, so it takes forks from any side and sits neatly on a trailer deck alongside others. It also means a cage stacks squarely on top of another one without any packing underneath.

A single cage is $40. Take two or more and the price drops to $35 each, and it holds at that through the larger lots. Prices are posted rather than worked out per buyer, so the number is the same whoever calls. The same goes for the poultry equipment.

Iowa and the surrounding states. 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. There is no fixed radius, because how far a load travels depends on the size of the order. We also stock new plastic egg flats if you need those on the same run.
