IBC Guardian Tote Topper (Top for an IBC) and Pump System

Developed from our experience within the fire fighting industry our IBC Guardian Tote Topper and Pump System provides a highly mobile and effective solution for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to industrial and agricultural use [see example uses]. We designed a robust top for an IBC which offers convenience, flexibility, and performance, making it ideal for rapid deployment in various environments.

The unit is not limited to a single role and can be adapted for many different uses across multiple applications. Whilst the pump we use was designed for fire fighting, it is not certified for emergency or fire-fighting use (see FAQ’s for more details).

* IBC Guardian Tote Topper and Pump available separately or as a complete system with or without an IBC

5. Ultimate Mobility & Deployment

Forklift / Pallet Truck Compatible: Easily move it around for use in various location.
Pickup Truck Friendly: Fits conveniently in most pickup beds for mobile applications ideally with a 500L IBC Tote due to vehicle weight limitations.

Perfect for a Range of Applications

Cleaning: Ideal for factories, warehouses, and construction sites requiring a large water supply and reasonable pressure for sluicing.
Dust Suppression: Great for construction or demolition sites for dust supression
Irrigation: Offers 1000L with optional deliveries for different applications

Why Choose the IBC Guardian Pump System?

Offers a cost-effective solution.
Easy to operate and quick to deploy using a forklift or pallet truck
Designed for multiple applications
Offers variable hose outputs
Option for hydrant input

Most pumps include one inlet and one outlet with no option for switching between sources. Our pump system offers multiple outlet choices and the ability to switch from tank supply to hydrant or another source. It works much like a fire engine system but on a smaller and more practical scale.

Equip your IBC tote with the IBC Guardian Tote Topper and Pump System for a 1000L delivery solution. Enjoy the convenience and efficiency of a fully integrated pumping and delivery setup.

Designed by us to perfectly fit a standard IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container). The IBC Guardian platform is constructed from impact-resistant, textured polypropylene, (more info) meeting the BS EN 12573 standard. As a result, it can be configured to accommodate a wide range of applications with ease.

( IBC NOT INCLUDED BUT CAN BE SUPPLIED )

Top for an IBC

The platform is designed to mount directly onto a standard IBC, using the existing frame for support. This integration reduces the need for heavier materials and enables the use of thinner polypropylene without losing strength.

As a result, the platform securely holds a pump and engine, a hose reel with hose, and other required components. These parts can be arranged to suit any of the available customer configurations.

IBC Guardian Tote Topper and Pump System

Flexibility

One of the main advantages of this system is its outstanding transport versatility. IBCs are widely used across many industries and are naturally compatible with forklift handling. This built-in mobility makes them perfect for industrial sites or any location with a forklift or tractor available.

They can also be stored conveniently in designated on-site areas for easy access when required.

The IBC Guardian pump system can include a customizable manifold for maximum flexibility in different operations. Depending on the setup, it can support either a hose reel or a layflat hose.

The manifold is built from readily available polymer components rated to handle at least 7.0 bar pressure. These parts are designed to match or exceed the pump’s maximum output capacity.

The manifold provides functionality comparable to larger pump systems or vehicle-mounted units. It achieves this performance in a much more compact and mobile design.

Available System Options:

30m x 3/4″ Hose Reel (rated @ 20 bar max)
2½” Instantaneous Layflat Hose
Hydrant or Direct Supply

Overheat Protection

The IBC Guardian pump includes a standard manual re-circulation circuit, providing extra protection and improved efficiency during operation.

Small pump systems often overheat when water flow is restricted, such as with a closed branch outlet. To prevent this, a manually operated return valve redirects flow back into the tank.

This design conserves water and keeps the pump cool during idle or low-flow periods.

High Quality Components

We use high quality Banjo Ball Valves which offer reliability with smooth operation

7-10 Bar maximum pressure at 21°C (Max pump pressure 7.0bar)
FKM (viton type) seals
Precision moulded polypropylene reinforced with fibreglass
Self-aligning ball moves freely against the PTFE seals
Ball is diamond turned to make it spherically perfect to provide precise contact between ball and seals
Stainless steel bolts
The valve opens or closes with very little pressure on the handle

Along with the Banjo ball valves we use precision moulded polypropylene (reinforced with fibreglass) fittings which are also rated at 7-10 Bar which matches or exceeds the maximum pressure output of the pump, we also use brass and stainless steel fittings where necessary.

The design allows for easy disassembly or re-configuration
