The Term “Tote”
The “tote” part of the name is derived from the English verb which means to carry or bear. In the context of IBCs, it refers to the mobility and ease of transport these containers offer. So, an ‘IBC Tote’ is essentially a portable, intermediate-sized container designed for the efficient storage and transportation of materials.
Due to their cubical design, IBC totes are easy to organize and move around with the help of a pallet jack or forklift and the IBC’s integrated pallet bases.
By understanding what an IBC tote is, you can make more informed decision on your storage and transport needs. To learn more about how intermediate bulk containers can improve your operations, review the wealth of information we have on our resource center or within our knowledge base.
