Full Containment – Safety Without Compromise
The FC in VARIBOX FC stands for Full Containment, a design philosophy that puts protection first. Each container features a double-walled rotomolded polyethylene structure, providing integrated secondary containment that prevents leaks and eliminates the need for external spill pallets. Even if the inner tank is damaged, the outer shell keeps the contents safely enclosed, protecting operators, the environment, and surrounding equipment. A built-in pressure relief system maintains safe conditions during transport and storage, while tamper-evident sealing options secure the contents from filling to final delivery. Certified to U.S. DOT, UN, and ADR standards, the VARIBOX FC 275 gallon tote ensures complete compliance for the transport of hazardous materials by road, rail, and sea — whether you’re operating in the U.S., Europe, or globally.
Closed System for Maximum Operator Safety
The fully closed transfer system of the VARIBOX FC 275 gallon tote allows chemicals to be filled and dispensed without ever opening the container. Using a Dry-Break coupling, both sides of the connection are automatically sealed before and after transfer. This minimizes the risk of splashes, fumes, or accidental exposure, creating a safer environment for operators and maintaining chemical purity. The system is especially valued in industries such as water treatment, industrial cleaning, coatings, and specialty chemicals, where worker safety and product integrity are top priorities. With the VARIBOX FC, chemical handling becomes clean, efficient, and secure — every time.
Long-Life Design for Reuse
Unlike single-use containers, the VARIBOX FC 275 gallon tote is designed for multi-year reuse. Built from UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) through the rotational molding process, it offers exceptional durability against impact, corrosion, and harsh outdoor conditions. With proper maintenance and periodic inspection according to DOT and ADR regulations, each tote can be used for up to 10 years. Its modular design allows easy replacement of key components — such as the inner tank, valve, and dip tube — extending its service life and keeping performance consistent over time. The result is a cost-efficient and sustainable packaging solution that minimizes waste and maximizes operational reliability.
Sustainable by Design
Every VARIBOX FC 275 gallon tote is almost fully recyclable, making it a responsible choice for companies committed to sustainability. The long service life of the tote helps reduce the need for single-use packaging, while the durable materials ensure many safe reuse cycles without performance loss. Even at the end of its lifecycle, the materials can be recycled, aligning with circular economy principles and responsible resource management. Sustainability at VARIBOX means combining safety, durability, and responsibility — without compromise.
275 Gallon Tote
The 275-gallon (1000-liter) capacity of the VARIBOX FC strikes the perfect balance between volume and manoeuvrability. The tote’s square footprint and stackable design optimize storage and transport space, while its integrated forklift and pallet truck entry points ensure safe, efficient handling. Smooth outer surfaces simplify cleaning and maintenance, while the container is compatible with standard filling and dispensing systems. Whether in bulk transport or on-site dosing, the VARIBOX FC supports efficient and secure operations across the chemical supply chain.
Certified for Global Compliance
The VARIBOX FC 275 gallon tote meets or exceeds all major international standards for hazardous material packaging:
- U.S. DOT (Department of Transportation)
- UN/ADR (European road transport)
- RID (rail transport)
- IMDG (maritime transport)
This ensures that the same container can be safely used across markets, simplifying compliance and global operations. Each tote carries a unique serial number for full traceability throughout its life — supporting documentation, inspection, and quality control processes.
