Used Tank Container in Shanghai, China

Overview

Tank containers are ISO-standard intermodal vessels built to transport bulk liquids, gases and powders safely by road, rail and sea. Commonly made from stainless or carbon steel, they include linings, heating, insulation and fittings such as valves, manholes and relief devices. Widely used for chemicals, food-grade products and hazardous cargo, used tanks must be checked for structural soundness, proper certification and compatibility with the intended product.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used tank container?

Verify the CSC plate and other certifications (ADR, IMDG), inspect shell and frame for corrosion or dents, check lining condition and fittings (valves, gaskets, manholes), request pressure or leak-test records and maintenance history, and confirm product compatibility and capacity.

How do I arrange safe shipping for a tank container?

Use carriers experienced in intermodal tank transport. Secure the tank on a certified chassis, confirm weight and dimensions, provide required hazardous documentation and placards if applicable, and ensure proper cleaning or isolation between different cargos.

What maintenance does a tank container need?

Perform regular external and internal inspections, check and replace gaskets and valves as needed, follow periodic pressure/leak testing and lining inspections, clean thoroughly between cargos, and keep up-to-date certification and repair records.
