New IBC totes delivered in Connecticut
Connecticut is a small market with specialised buyers. Warehousing and storage employed 25,127 people in 2025, about 1.2 times the national share, mostly along the I-91 and I-95 corridors (BLS QCEW 2025). Food manufacturing accounted for 9,671 jobs, and pharmaceutical making 2,715.
Older plants here often have low doors and tight yards, which makes the 275 gallon tote, at about 46 in tall, easier to handle than a 330. Many buyers order a few totes at a time rather than full loads.
Delivery to Connecticut
Loads come in on I-95 along the shore and I-84 and I-91 inland. For smaller orders to a site without a dock, a liftgate truck brings a few totes at a time; the quote names the number that makes a load and what the freight is at your quantity.
What Connecticut buyers usually ask for
Older mill buildings and urban plants often have narrow doors, low ceilings or freight elevators. Measure the opening and the lift before choosing a size: a 275 gallon tote is about 46 in tall and 40 in wide on its pallet, while a 330 stands 53 to 54 in. Pharmaceutical buyers should ask for the bottle's resin and the gasket compound in writing; we can supply both on the quote.
Connecticut sits between the New York and Boston freight markets, so trucks pass through often and a part load can sometimes ride with another delivery on I-95 or I-91. If you can take delivery within a window of a few days rather than on one fixed date, say so; it can lower the freight. For distributors re-packing chemicals, give us the heaviest specific gravity you handle, so one rating covers the range. Insurers sometimes ask for spill pallets under stored totes; the 48 × 40 in footprint fits standard ones.

Not sure which tote? Start from the product. A regulated liquid needs a UN-rated tote marked for its specific gravity.
Anything people eat or drink needs a food-contact bottle; a Class I flammable needs a steel IBC.
