A lifting rack comprises abase including opposite longitudinal rails connected between plural laterally-extending rails to define a support surface having plural rectangular support areas each to support an IBC, in use. A frame is secured to and extends upwardly from the base. The frame includes plural posts secured to the rails proximate outside corners of each of the rectangular support areas. A pair of longitudinal bars and lateral bars are secured to one another at each corner, in a rectangular configuration, and secured to tops of the posts. Lifting lugs or forklift runners are provided for engagement by a transport device for lifting the rack.

Intermediate bulk container lifting rack

A composite shipping container primarily for shipping bulk liquids consisting of an inner plastic tank held upright by an outer support structure of mesh wire side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall. This outer support structure forms a housing which is supported on a unitary tubular member pallet, which allows the composite shipping container to freely stand on a floor surface or stack upon a like composite shipping container. The unitary tubular member pallet is comprised of a single piece of metal tubing shaped into co-planar surfaces for the outer housing to rest on and shaped into feet to set the composite shipping container on a generally horizontal floor or other surface. The configuration of the unitary tubular member pallet reduces the amount of material required to complete the pallet and eases pallet construction.
