ISO TANK CONTAINERS

The ISO Tank container is the most widely used intermodal equipment in the world, designed to transport liquids in bulk. An ISO Tank has the dimensions of a 20′ container. This type of container is commonly used for shipping and transporting chemicals, food products, and other hazardous and non-hazardous liquids.

ISO Tank containers come in a range of capacities, and all comply with ISO standards (International Organisation for Standardisation) to ensure compatibility with different modes of transport (rail, road, inland waterway, sea).

KEY FEATURES

Construction

ISO Tank containers are built in stainless-steel (mainly AISI316/316L grades) providing a robust framework, whilst the tank is built to guarantee reliability under pressure. Designed with a triple closure valve, required by the international transport dangerous goods regulations, the ISO Tanks offer maximum safety for your contents.
