Structural Design
The IBC steel base pallet is composed of five key components:
Metal pan
Traversal (cross beam)
Five spacers
Base ring
Production begins by forming the base ring into a rectangular frame. It is then welded together with the traversal and spacers to create a rigid structure. Finally, the metal pan is mounted on top, securing the steel cage and completing the IBC base assembly.
Optimized Logistics Design
To improve shipping efficiency, a freight-saving design has been introduced:
- Up to 500 pallets per 40' container (vs. 370 traditionally)
- The metal pan and welded base can be assembled later at the customer's site
- This approach reduces transportation cost while requiring minimal additional labor-only two screws need to be installed during final assembly, which can be done alongside cage installation.
Standard Dimensions & Assembly Features
Standard size: 1200 mm × 1000 mm
Compatible with container transport and warehouse racking systems
The IBC steel base pallet features nine integrated screw bosses positioned around the perimeter for secure attachment to the steel cage. Two configuration options are available:
Self-tapping screws for automated production lines
Nut-and-bolt systems for manual assembly
Additional reinforced bosses in the drip pan and rear section ensure secure fixing of the base ring and spacers, resulting in a stable, vibration-free structure.
Material & Strength
The pallet is constructed with optimized material thickness for strength and efficiency:
Metal pan: 1.0 mm
Traversal: 2.0 mm
Spacers: 1.4 mm
Base ring: 1.5 mm
This combination provides excellent load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity.
Corrosion Protection
All components are treated with ≥80 g/m² zinc galvanization, offering:
Strong resistance to rust and corrosion
Suitability for outdoor and chemical environments
Long service life under demanding conditions

FAQ
Q:While this approach reduces transportation expenses, I wonder if the added labor costs negate the overall benefit.
A:This adds negligible labor, requiring only the installation of two locking screws, a task that can be performed concurrently with the primary IBC frame assembly.
