CageBuster IBC Totes: The Liquid Storage Game-Changer
The world of water storage has experienced incredible transformations over the years. What started with simple barrels and drums has advanced into modern, high-performance solutions like intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). One of the latest breakthroughs in this field comes from Snyder Industries with their CageBuster IBC totes. These new-generation IBCs have changed the game, offering enhanced performance, durability, and long-term savings.
At Plastic Mart, we're thrilled to bring you this innovation, making it easier and more affordable to store and transport liquids while reducing environmental impact. Let's dive into what makes the CageBuster totes so unique and how they can revolutionize the way you manage liquid storage.
What Are CageBuster Totes?
CageBuster totes are Snyder Industries' cutting-edge solution to common challenges in water storage and transportation. If you're used to the traditional caged IBC totes, you'll find CageBuster a significant upgrade. Designed with sustainability and practicality in mind, these totes address many of the limitations seen in older models by focusing on four key principles: Rethink, Return, Refill, and Reuse.
These totes offer more than just storage—they provide a more rugged, long-lasting, and eco-friendly option for bulk liquid transportation. Built without the metal cages that can corrode and add bulk, CageBuster totes are a modern answer for those looking for reliable water storage that can stand the test of time.
Currently, Plastic Mart offers 2 main types of CageBuster Totes:
Why Choose CageBuster Over Caged IBCs?

Here’s a quick comparison to show how CageBuster outperforms traditional caged IBCs:
While the initial cost of a CageBuster tote is higher than a caged IBC, the long-term savings quickly add up. In fact, most users find that the CageBuster pays for itself after just 2-3 uses, thanks to its superior lifespan and durability. Plus, there's no need for frequent repairs or replacements, making it an even more cost-effective solution.

When it comes to large-scale water storage operations, the savings from switching to CageBuster totes can be monumental. Here's a breakdown of how much you can expect to save based on the size of your fleet, assuming each tote makes eight trips per year with a five-year useful life.

Key Features and Benefits of CageBuster Totes
Plastic Mart is committed to offering you top-notch storage solutions, and the CageBuster totes definitely live up to the hype. Here's a closer look at some of the standout features that make these totes a game-changer:
- 100% Polyethylene Construction
Unlike traditional IBCs, which often come with metal cages that can rust and corrode, CageBuster totes are made entirely from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This material is not only resistant to chemicals and corrosion but is also lightweight and incredibly durable. - Free-Standing Design
Without the need for a metal cage, CageBuster totes are easier to clean and maintain. This streamlined design also enhances mobility, making them easier to handle, stack, and store. - Revolutionary Legged Container Shape
The innovative legged design of CageBuster totes increases stacking strength while also providing recessed areas for labels and placards, protecting them from damage. - Sloped Drain Trough
The thoughtful design includes a sloped drain trough for faster and more efficient draining. This reduces downtime and ensures you're making the most of every drop. - Compatible Valve & Lid Thread Connections
CageBuster totes are designed to work seamlessly with the components you already use, including valves, lids, and bungs. This makes integration into your existing systems hassle-free. - Curved Radius Side Walls
The curved sidewalls not only look sleek but also make it easier to access top ports. This ergonomic design helps prevent strain and makes working with the totes more user-friendly. - UN 31H2 (IBC) Certification
Certified for transporting hazardous materials, CageBuster totes are built to meet strict safety and compliance standards. This makes them ideal for businesses that handle a wide variety of materials, including both hazardous and non-hazardous liquids. - Recycled Plastic Pallet
The pallet base is made from 100% recycled plastic and features an anti-skid design to prevent sliding during transport. It’s also compatible with conveyors, making the totes easier to move in busy warehouse environments. - Thicker Walls for Extra Protection
CageBuster totes are built with walls that are three times thicker than traditional IBCs, which helps them withstand damage from forklifts and other potential hazards during transport.
