Stainless steel and plastic Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), commonly called “totes,” are vital for transporting various liquids, including food and chemicals. At Lubbock Allstar Truck Wash & Lube, we wash, maintain, and test all sizes and types of totes used to transport chemicals.

When a tote is in good condition, it can often be reused. We wash it to eliminate residues and contaminants, replace parts as needed, and perform leak testing and thickness testing. Our testing services meet DOT standards.

One of our largest chemical tote customers brings us used totes for maintenance on an ongoing basis. We clean them, replace faulty parts, and perform testing as needed — at a cost far less than purchasing new totes.

Thorough Cleaning Process

We use specialized equipment and cleaning agents tailored to the unique needs of each IBC container. Our cleaning process is designed to remove every trace of residue and contaminants without compromising the integrity of the container materials.

However, some products are impossible to remove from plastic IBCs if they’re not washed soon after being emptied. In those cases, the tote won’t pass inspection for reuse — but in most cases, we can rebottle if the cage is in good condition. Call us with any questions.

Parts Replacement and Testing

Our technicians conduct thorough inspections during the cleaning process to identify worn-out or damaged parts. We offer high-quality replacement parts — valves, gaskets, caps, and seals — sourced from trusted manufacturers.

Our testing services include:

  • Leak testing: pressure testing to identify and repair any leaks
  • Thickness testing: ensuring container walls meet DOT minimum requirements
  • DOT certification: we provide compliance certification after testing

DOT Compliance Certification

Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards is a top priority. With a comprehensive understanding of DOT regulations governing IBC containers, we meticulously conduct leak and thickness testing to verify your tote meets the minimum requirements. After cleaning and testing, we issue compliance certification your customers and inspectors will accept.

Leak Detection and Repair

Leaks in IBC containers can lead to product loss, environmental hazards, and safety risks. Our skilled technicians conduct thorough leak detection during the cleaning process and address any issues found before the tote leaves our facility.

Pickup Available

We’re equipped with a 40-foot trailer to accommodate hauls within 150 miles of Lubbock. If you have totes that need servicing, call us to discuss logistics and pricing.

Tote Sales: Refurbished & Rebottled

Refurbished Totes

In addition to washout services, we sell refurbished IBC totes in recycled cages at prices significantly lower than new. We currently stock 275-gallon and 330-gallon rebottled IBC totes.

If your company delivers products in totes that customers don’t return, we can help you keep costs down. Call (806) 993-1620 for current pricing and availability.

Rebottled Totes

When a caged plastic tote is no longer reusable, we can often refit the used cage with a new bottle and new parts. This gives you a functional tote at a much lower cost than buying new.

Important: Because of the strict regulations governing food transport, totes that have been used to transport chemicals are never used to transport food products or products used in the production of food. However, we can refit a used cage with a new bottle that is rated for food-grade use.
