We take compliance seriously, meaning that, when you purchase one of our fuel tanks, you can be confident that your fuel is safely contained and comply with IBC regulations.

The term \u2018intermediate\u2019 indicates the substantial volumes these containers hold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes known as IBC tote tanks, they come in a range of sizes and materials. Their stackable abilities make them ideal for storing large quantities onsite while still allowing for easy access to fluids as and when.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Western Global, our TransCube range is IBC compliant, meaning that your fuel can be stored and transported safely in line with regulations. Our TransCube Global is designed for safe, portable fuel storage &#8211; all without leaks and spillages. It\u2019s a double walled tank which allows for complete containment, ideal for storing fuel and other liquids. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/western-global.com\/us\/products\/transcube-global\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out more about the TransCube Global here.<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is an IBC tank used for?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IBC tank is used to store large, industrial goods, often hazardous liquids.
