Flexitanks for Liquids

Multi-Layered Flexitanks

Multi-layered Flexitanks (also referred to as Flexitanks, Flexibags, Flexible bags, Liquid liners, Liquid bags, Bags or Tanks) are used inside 20’ or 40’ containers and converts the shipping container into a bulk liquid transport solution for free-flowing non-hazardous liquids. Various loading and unloading valve types and sizes can be requested. The Flexitank is retained safely inside the container doors by a Bulkhead and steel bulkhead bar or Steel Frame system.

A wide range of products can be transported in our Flexitanks including juices, food oils (such as olive oil, sunflower oil and palm oil), butters (such as shea butter and cocoa butter), Wine, Latex and many Industrial and chemical products.

Trailer Flexitanks / Reefer Flexitanks / 40’ and 45’ Flexitanks

Our Multiple chamber Flexitanks are installed into 40’ and 45’ Sea containers, curtain-sided trailers, swap bodies, Frigo or reefer trucks or reefer Containers (for more about trailer types – see here) to convert them into a bulk liquid transport solution for free-flowing, non-hazardous liquids. They come in various capacity sizes to suit the product being loaded.

The multiple chambers stop large volumes of liquid moving up the length of the container which could pose risks.
