ISO Tanks Types and Styles

Pick ISO tanks types and styles based on your business freight and storage needs

By Deneatra Harmon
ISO tanks meet the specifications requirements set by the International Organization for Standardization for transporting freight by rail, truck and ship. Common types of ISO tanks include dry tanks, insulated or heated ISO containers, open-top and flat-rock ISO tanks.

Flat-rock ISO tanks come with collapsible end bulkheads that can be used for moving heavy machinery. These types of ISO tanks do not have side walls like the others. Open-top ISO tanks are shaped like boxes that you can load from the top or the end. Coal and grains are some items that are commonly loaded into open-top ISO containers. Insulated ISO tanks transport frozen goods, while a thermal, or heated, ISO container carries temperature-sensitive goods. Cube ISO tanks, also known as dry ISO tanks, are enclosed structures that can be front-loaded for general-purpose transportation of items. As for tank sizes, the common width for most containers is 8 feet, and length can be anywhere from 20 feet to 40 feet to 56 feet.
