Dimensions / Industrial & logistics / IBC totes / 275 gallon
A 275-gallon IBC tote holds 1,000 litres nominal, 1,060 l brimful, and measures 1200 × 1000 × 1160 mm (Schütz ECOBULK MX 1000); US sellers list it as 48 × 40 × 46 in. Heights run 1135–1175 mm by maker and pallet: Werit’s TOPline is 1135–1164 mm, Time Technoplast’s 1155–1175 mm. Empty, Schütz’s weighs 56 kg on a steel pallet and 59 kg on plastic, and it takes liquids up to density 1.9. A real mark reads 31HA1/Y/…/4056/2037: 4056 kg stacking test load and 2037 kg maximum gross mass. Fill to no more than 98% at 50 °C (RID), and plan 18 per 20 ft container (Mauser).

Schütz’s MX 1000 UN FDA and its mark are filled in, two high in Triton’s 20 ft. Enter your fill and density; each check uses the numbers in the tables on this page.
Sizes in millimetres, weights in kilograms. The UN mark ends with the stacking test load and the maximum gross mass in kg; a stacking test load of 0 means not stackable.
1000 L × 1 kg/L + 55 kg empty = 1055 kg, 982 kg under the 2037 kg maximum permissible gross mass.
Filled in: Schütz’s MX 1000 UN FDA, marked …/4056/2037/1060L/55KG. Its brimful capacity is 1,060 l; leave room, since RID caps the fill at 98% at 50 °C.
2 high puts 1 full totes, 1055 kg, on the bottom one. Its 4056 kg stacking test load ÷ 1.8 allows 2253 kg on top: 1198 kg to spare.
Schütz’s MX data sheet: two-high in transport up to density 1.5, one-high above; up to 4-high standing still.
One layer takes 9 totes of 1200 × 1000 mm; 2 high that is 18, enough for your 18, and 18990 kg is within the 28380 kg payload.
Mauser puts 18 totes in a 20 ft container, or 20 on its wooden ISO container pallet; Triton’s 20 ft is 2,393 mm high inside.
