Tank Containers
At Bosh Boxes, we supply 20ft ISO tank containers built for safe transport and storage of liquid bulk cargo — including fuels, chemicals, and food-grade liquids. Each unit is constructed from high-grade stainless steel and mounted within a durable ISO-standard frame for secure handling and intermodal use. Available in new (one-trip) or refurbished condition, our 20ft tank containers meet international regulations for road, rail, and sea transport. We offer fast, UK-wide delivery and no-nonsense quotes — The Bosh Way.
What Can Tank Containers Be Used For?
20ft tank containers are the industry standard for moving and storing bulk liquids. They are used in:
Chemical distribution (acids, solvents, detergents)
Fuel and oil transport (diesel, lubricants, biofuels)
Food and beverage (logistics for oils, wine, juices, milk)
Pharmaceutical and cosmetic liquids
Temporary liquid storage on construction or industrial sites
Compliance & Certification
All Bosh Boxes tank containers are manufactured to ISO 1496-3 standards and certified for IMDG and ADR where required.
Each unit is pressure-tested, fitted with safety relief valves, and can be supplied with valid CSC plate and test certificate on request.
Food-grade units come steam-cleaned and ready for use.
