500 Litre IBC Tank UN Approved
A 500 Litre Tote on a Narrow 650mm Footprint




What This Product Is
A UN approved 500 litre IBC tank measuring 1000 x 650 x 1150mm and weighing 40kg, blow moulded from UV-stabilised natural HDPE in a galvanized steel frame with 4-way entry. It is marked UN31HA1/Y and supplied with a DN150 filling opening, a DN50 ball or butterfly valve, two label plates and four corner protectors.
Key Benefits
- The 650mm width fits spaces a 1000mm wide tote will not
- UV-stabilised natural HDPE holds up to outdoor field storage
- A galvanized frame with 4-way entry lets forklifts and pallet trucks approach from any side
- UN31HA1/Y marking, two label plates and four corner protectors come as supplied
What Goes Wrong Without It
- A standard 1200 x 1000mm tote will not fit every vehicle bed or storage bay
- Field application in agriculture means totes are moved on uneven ground and need a stable frame
- Bulk liquid split across drums multiplies both handling and spill risk
Application Scenarios
- Agrochemical formulators and distributors supplying growers
- Agricultural contractors moving liquid feed and crop protection product
- Users with narrow storage bays or vehicles that cannot take a full width tote
