What is a Tank Container or ‘Tanktainer’?
For the transport of bulk liquids and other substances, a tank container, or ‘Tanktainer’, is the perfect liquid storage container solution.
With options for between 17,000 and 26,000 liters of total capacity, tank containers can be used for food-grade liquid storage and transport, as well as the storage of hazardous liquids and other materials. Liquids can include juices and oils, diesel, petrol, acids, liquefied gases, hazardous chemicals and so much more. "Tanktainers" can also be used to transport powders, slurry, and grey water – so whatever you need to transport, we’ve got you covered. Built to ISO standards, tank containers consist of a main tank which is then surrounded by insulation (or a protective layer) and finally placed within a steel frame. They provide a safe and protected method of transportation for liquids, hazardous or not, and gases through intermodal freight options and offer easy transfer between road, rail, and sea. The majority of container tanks have frames that measure 20ft in length, 7.8ft in width and 8.3ft in height – with various tank sizes determining the actual carrying capacity.
