If you’re managing a site in Wacol or Yatala, you need to know your containers are up to the task. When you’re looking to [**buy 1000L IBC tanks for chemicals**](https://www.drumking.co/buy-ibc-tanks-brisbane), the first question is always: *Does it need to be DG (Dangerous Goods) rated?* We see a lot of companies overspending on DG tanks for non-hazardous fluids, or worse, risking it with the wrong gear.

It’s about getting the right tool for the job. If you’re sick of overpaying for new IBCs but can’t afford to compromise on compliance, our reconditioned range is the answer.
