There are 3 basic kinds of tank containers for transportation and storage of chemicals and non-hazardous liquids: beam,
generic and swap tanks.

Tank containers - also referred to as ISO tanks, Intermodal tanks, or IM portable tanks, are designed for international
transportation by road, rail and ship. They are a versatile means of shipping bulk liquids where a single mode of transport
is not convenient.

Beam tank - a sturdy, all-purpose design at a reduced tare weight and has a low maintenance and repair record.
Generic tank - Beam/frame hybrids. Capacities of 7,500 up to 27,000 litres.

Swap tank - wide range of design and specifications options, giving a versatile unit, capacities up to 35,000 litres.

There are many advantages to using tank containers for your shipping needs. For instance, one 20500 L. tank container
can replace one hundred 205 L. drums, thereby reducing the handling, damage and spills associated with drums.
