26000 Liter Tank Containers

A versatile tool for intercontinental bulk liquid transport of lightweight liquid products with and without baffles

The 26000 liter tank container is our largest within the standard ISO dimentions. It is optimized for chemical grade and food grade transport in areas with higher weight limits for road or rail transport. Ideally suited for most Euopean countries & throughout Asia.

This model of tank container is also suited for transport of liquid products that are considered “light” with a lower specific gravity. Our 26000L tank containers optimize payloads for products in this category.

These containers come equipped with baffles and ground operated vapor return lines as standard safety components.

Our global inventory of equipment, supported by a network of experienced personal and a global fleet management system, deliver the confidence you are looking for in a leasing partner. Our team of technical experts are here to support you with any questions you may have on our equipment.

The Benefits and Advantages of Baffles in Tank Containers

Baffles are partitions, placed vertically or horizontally, in liquid pressure vessels to provide surge protection. Baffles reduce cargo movement during transport and enhance safety. Without baffles, the liquid cargo can surge when the transport vehicle stops or starts quickly, which can lead to a rollover or disengagement from the chassis, railcar or other platform.

Baffles also provide a way for cargo to be safely shipped in quantities more than 20% and less than 80% of the total capacity of the container. A significant value for high and low density products. Raffles Lease offers tank containers with curved baffles and V-shaped baffles.
