Liquitote®

Liquitote®, the leading metal IBC on the market, is the original intermediate bulk container (IBC) of the liquid handling industry. Hoover introduced this revolutionary concept over 50 years ago as an efficient and sensible alternative to the use of 55-gallon drums. More durable than standard 55-gallon drums, Liquitote® helps control risk to the environment. In fact, one 550-gallon Liquitote® replaces ten drums, thereby, minimizing the amount of handling required, which in turn, lowers the risk of liquid handling accidents. Liquitote® is a cost-effective, sound capital investment which can be amortized over its long life. Liquitotes® are refillable and durable. Many of the first models made over 50 years ago are still in use today.

The Liquitote® meets the following UN and DOT Qualifications for intermediate bulk containers:

DOT UN31A permits the shipment of flammable and combustible liquids authorized by Title 49 CFR.
Allowable (per DOT) modes of transportation: motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel, or air freight. NMFC Item 41032, Sub 1, Class 125.
Liquitotes® are built to UN specification in an ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing plant.
