New stock
Occasionally we source new or single-trip IBC tanks for specialty applications.
While reconditioned IBCs meet most needs cost-effectively, some applications require new or single-trip containers. We stock new IBCs and source single-trip units from trusted suppliers to serve customers with strict requirements for container history, certification, or appearance.

Frequently asked questions
What's the price difference between new and reconditioned?
New containers typically cost 2-3x more than Grade A reconditioned. Single-trip containers fall between, offering near-new quality at better value than brand new.
How do I know a single-trip container's history?
We document previous contents for all single-trip containers and can provide this information. Many come from known sources with verified product history.
Are new containers always better than reconditioned?
Not necessarily. For many applications, properly reconditioned containers perform identically at significant savings. New is better when regulations, contamination risk, or customer requirements specifically demand it.
Can I reserve inventory for future needs?
Yes. We offer inventory reservation for customers with planned needs. This ensures availability and can include price protection for longer-term commitments.
What documentation comes with new containers?
New containers include manufacturer documentation, UN certification (where applicable), material certificates for food-grade, and our delivery documentation with full traceability.
Do you offer warranties on new containers?
New containers carry manufacturer warranties which we pass through to customers. Single-trip containers are sold with our standard quality guarantee for condition as described.
