Overview
What it is
FIBCs — flexible intermediate bulk containers, commonly called jumbo bags — move bulk material by forklift or crane in single large units rather than many sacks. Built from heavy woven polypropylene with lifting loops rated to a stated safe working load and safety factor, and configured with your choice of filling spout and discharge outlet. Used across agriculture, construction, chemicals and food processing.
Not suited to
Safe working load and safety factor must match the intended material and lifting method. Never specify an FIBC without confirming both.
Best suited to
- Agriculture
- Construction
- Chemicals
