How do you choose a rack for one or two IBC containers to suit the workflow on a farm?
When choosing an IBC tank rack for a farm, it is advisable to base your decision on the daily liquid requirements, the number of refills and the various stages of work. One tank is sufficient for straightforward use, whilst two tanks are better suited to a more extensive work schedule.

The choice of IBC container rack for a farm depends on how much liquid you transfer in a single working day and whether you use different liquids at the same time. A single 1,000-litre tank rack keeps your equipment agile, whilst the two-tank model offers a 2,000-litre capacity and the ability to separate different stages of work. We manufacture both models for tractors and wheel loaders from Finnish steel in Kempele.
IBC container rack for a farm, when one container is enough
A single-container rack is suitable for a site where work is carried out using one liquid at a time. For example, wash water can be transported to an animal shed, a machine cleaning area or a remote yard using a single 1,000-litre IBC container. The same solution works for irrigation water, preservatives and liquid fertiliser, provided the tank and its associated equipment are used for a single, clearly defined task.

A single tank is also the natural choice when the refuelling point is nearby and you can fit in a top-up during the working day. The rack costs €1,490 excluding VAT. If, for example, the job requires one refill in the morning and another in the afternoon, you’ll have a total of 2,000 litres available during the day without having to transport two tanks at the same time. We deliver the rack ready for use, and it can be installed without any special tools.
The right tank capacity reduces refuelling times and keeps the farm’s working day running smoothly.
Do you need a rack for one or two containers?
Please tell us what type of liquid you’re transporting, what machine you’re using, and how much liquid you need during a working day. We’ll agree on the mounting points and dimensions of the rack when you place your order.
IBC container rack for a farm, with two containers
A two-tank rack supports the rhythm of farm work when large quantities of liquid are required or when it is advisable to keep different stages of the work separate. You can transport two 1,000-litre IBC tanks at the same time, giving you a total of 2,000 litres. This solution reduces refuelling times during long work shifts. With two tanks, you can also keep, for example, washing water and preservative in their own separate tanks.

A two-tank rack costs €2,190 excluding VAT, so the price difference between the models is €700. If the two-tank system saves one extra refill trip over several working days, more working time is left for the task itself. We also manufacture customised mounting options for the racks, as well as mountings for irrigation and washing equipment.
Choose an IBC container rack that suits your workflow
Choose the single-tank model if your workload remains at a level that can be handled by a single tank, or if refilling can easily be done during the day. Choose the two-tank model if you want to extend your working cycle, reduce refuelling times or keep different liquids separate in their own tanks. We’ll go through the mounting and sizing requirements when you place your order. You’ll also receive installation instructions for the commissioning of the rack.

When is a single-IBC-tank rack suitable for a farm?
A single-tank rack is suitable if you use one liquid at a time and a 1,000-litre tank is sufficient for a work shift. It is also a practical option when the refuelling point is nearby and you can top up the tank during the working day.
What is the benefit of a rack for two IBC containers?
The two-tank rack holds two 1,000-litre IBC containers. This provides additional liquid capacity for a single run and makes it easier to separate work stages. For example, you can use one container for wash water and the other for preservative, whilst keeping the containers separate for their respective purposes.
