ISO Tank Shipping Containers range

ISO Tank Shipping Containers (Tanktainers) are sealed tanks mounted inside a standard shipping container frame, built for the bulk transport of liquids, gases and chemicals. The frame handles stacking, loading, and intermodal transport by road, rail, or sea, while the tank keeps contents secure in transit. They’re available in Food Grade, Bitumen, Gas, and Dangerous Goods (T11, T14, T20, T22). 20ft ISO Tank Containers hold between 17,000 and 26,000 litres.

They’re commonly used across chemicals, fuel and gas, food and beverage, and mining operations, and we deliver Australia-wide direct from our Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth & Adelaide depots.

Frequently asked questions

  • ISO tank containers are purpose-built 20ft tank units for moving bulk liquids or gases safely. They’re a stainless steel cylinder mounted in a standard ISO frame so they can travel by road rail and sea like other shipping containers

  • ISO stands for the “International Organization for Standardization,” meaning the ISO Tank is constructed from stainless steel alloy and encased in protective layers, all built to meet ISO standards.

  • 20ft ISO tank containers typically hold around 17,000L to 26,000L, depending on the tank type and build.

  • A new ISO tank container is generally built for decades of service. In practice, a well-maintained tank is commonly operational for around 20–30 years, with industry guidance often using ~25 years as a baseline life expectancy.

    If it’s cleaned properly, kept corrosion-free, and repaired when needed, it can keep working beyond that typical window. The limiting factors are usually corrosion, damage, product compatibility, and failing test results rather than age alone.
