an IBC Tote of Liquid Fertilizer — the weight
Short answer: about 3,042 lb of liquid (1,380 kg). The longer answer below includes the container, the handling math, and the mistakes to avoid.
This is the heavy one. UAN 32% at 11.06 lb/gal makes a full 275-gallon tote ~3,042 lb of liquid — with the tote, about 3,200 lb gross, a third more than the same tote of water. UAN 28% (10.65 lb/gal) saves about 110 lb.
Every transport rating needs rechecking at fertilizer density: the trailer that legally hauls two water totes may be overweight with two of UAN; forklift load centers matter more; and stacking filled fertilizer totes two-high exceeds many bottle ratings — check the tote's stamped stacking spec, which is usually quoted for SG 1.0.
Spring logistics tip from the math: a 3,200 lb tote on a 1,500 lb-rated farm trailer is how axles die in April. Run your exact volume through the UAN weight calculator before hitching.
