Tank Containers (ISO Tanks) – Safe Bulk Liquid Transport Solution

The Tank Container (ISO Tank) is a cylindrical stainless-steel tank mounted inside a protective steel frame built to ISO standards. These containers are engineered for transporting and storing bulk liquids, including hazardous chemicals, fuels, food-grade liquids, and industrial products.

With capacities ranging from 14,000 to 26,000 liters, ISO tanks are built for intermodal use, meaning they can be transported by road, rail, and sea without offloading the cargo. The tanks are highly durable, resistant to corrosion, and equipped with safety features such as pressure release valves, thermal insulation, and optional steam heating systems.

Tank containers are available in various configurations depending on the type of liquid cargo (food-grade, chemical, cryogenic, or gas). Their design ensures minimal risk of contamination, safe handling, and compliance with international safety standards.
