Not sure the count is right for your configuration? We confirm it with you before you ship anything.
This certification expires
UN/DOT IBC Performance Test is normally re-tested every 24 months, and sooner if the packaging changes. We keep track of when your testing comes due and tell you before it lapses — you should not find out from a rejected shipment.
Common questions
Can you handle a full-size IBC?
Yes. Our vibration table is rated to 2,000 lb and we handle IBCs, drums, pallet loads and large crates with in-house material handling.
Not certain UN/DOT IBC Performance Test is the right test?
Answer a few questions about what you ship and we will tell you which standard applies — and why the others do not.
