Fuel transport systems, depots, chemical transport companies, and gas transport companies need safe and reliable tankers to hold that material. A low-pressure highway cargo tank with an oval/elliptical cross-section is optimized for multi-stop delivery of Class 3 flammable liquids. Vacuum loading is not allowed under this spec.
There are five basic intermodal tanks that can carry haz-ardous materials: The IM-101 or Type 1 is a low-pressure tank. The IM-102 or Type 2 is considered a low-pressure tank, but can have working pressures up to 100 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Both Types 1 and 2 tanks can carry hazardous and non-hazardous liquid and solid commodities.
With the silo pressurised container, the low-pressure cubic container and the unpressurised box container, LAG offers a complete range of bulk containers. All our containers are manufactured in accordance with recognised standards (ISO, UIC, CSC & PED).
