Engineered IBC Tote Containment Systems for High-Risk Operations

Polystar’s IBC containment offerings are designed to capture and isolate leaks and spills before they become environmental or safety hazards. Our systems incorporate rugged materials and modular designs to suit both short-term use and permanent installations.

Common containment challenges, such as limited space, surface damage, or multi-tote setups, are solved through flexible layout options, reusable designs, and simple integration into existing operations.

Key Features of Our IBC Tote Containment Systems

Each IBC tote containment system is developed to address the realities of fast-paced industrial environments. These are not one-size-fits-all spill trays. They’re engineered systems backed by thoughtful design and decades of field use.

Key product features include:

  • Drive-over capability for forklifts, pallet jacks, or carts
  • Modular walls and liners for single or multi-tote containment zones
  • Low-profile construction for easy loading and unloading
  • Rugged composite materials that resist corrosion and chemical degradation
  • Fast deployment on paved, gravel, frozen, or uneven ground
  • Compliant with EPA SPCC regulations

These systems work as standalone protections or can be integrated into broader secondary containment strategies that also include rail, tanker truck, or storage tank protection.
