IRIS Airtight Storage Container with Casters [~80 lb Grain Storage Capacity]

Airtight Storage Container by IRIS

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • FOOD FOR ALL: For your cats, dogs, birds, and more. Store your pet's dry foods into sealable and portable pet food container. 67 Qt size food storage container is great for storing around 58 Lb of dry food (capacity depends on the kind of food you store)
  • AIRTIGHT CONTAINER: Ensure your pet's food stays fresh with our airtight seals and snap-lock latches, keeping moisture and humidity out. Lock in the freshness of dry food and treats, maintaining a neat and organized food storage area.
  • ROLL IT AROUND: The storage bins come with attachable casters, so you have the option to have them off or on. Store it on a shelf or attach the wheel to roll it from the storage area to your dog or cat bowl

I’ve seen the capacity of this container described a couple different ways.  67 quarts and 55 lbs.

My rule of thumb for grain storage is 5 lbs per gallon.  67 quarts = 16.75 gallons.  At 5 lbs per gallon that’s… 83.75 lbs of grain storage.  This is an estimate.  It should easily hold a full 50 to 55 lb bag of grain with room to spare.  These are estimates.
