Over recent years, ISO tank containers have become the standard multimodal transport solution for food-grade liquids, powder materials, industrial liquids and bulk chemicals. According to official statistics from ITCO, the global ISO tank fleet reached 736,935 units as of January 2022, representing a year-on-year growth of 7.3%.

1. Basic Structure & Core Advantages of ISO Tank Containers

An ISO tank container is a cylindrical tank unit specially designed for safe storage and shipment of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid cargo.

• Tank body material: Stainless steel inner liner, wrapped with thermal insulation layer and protective aluminum/polyurethane cladding

• Double-layer elliptical or near-spherical tank design; alternative rigid liners coated with anti-corrosion epoxy resin are available

• Classified by function: high-pressure tank, low-pressure tank, insulated tank, heating-jacket tank

• Standard layout: Circular loading manhole on top, discharge valve at tank bottom

• Outer high-strength steel frame complies with 20ft international container dimensional standards

• Supports road, rail and sea intermodal transport

• Usable capacity ranges from 14,300L to 31,000L or larger

The surrounding load-bearing steel frame provides full protection and lifting points, while the sealed insulated tank body makes it the safest transport carrier for temperature-sensitive and corrosive liquid goods.

ISO Tank Aluminum Anti-Slip Walkway

Also called aluminum alloy tank walk plate, this component is custom-sized to match tank frames. Our mainstream specification is 3.0×475×50×5800mm, adopting the popular crocodile-mouth protruding hole pattern.

Core Product Features

1. High strength-to-weight ratio: Heavy load capacity with lightweight construction

2. Superior anti-slip performance: Serrated diamond hole surface maximizes friction

3. Self-draining perforations: Quickly drain rainwater, sludge and debris without buildup

4. Simple bolt-on installation, minimal post-install maintenance

5. Cost-effective with extended service life

Benefits of Crocodile-Mouth Hole Pattern Walkway

1. Optimized zigzag protruding texture delivers stronger anti-slip effect for operators

2. Hollow convex structure boosts friction between footware and plate surface

3. Excellent anti-aging property, resisting corrosion under harsh marine and chemical environments

4. Open hole design avoids mud, liquid and snow accumulation, maintaining long-term anti-slip performance
