Tank-Container, the container used for the transportation of liquid bulk products of global trade, which is increasing day by day. Terminology used as Isotank in Turkey.
ISO is actually an international standard norm and the outer frames of all tank-containers are produced in this norm. Each of these equipment is suitable for dispatch in sea, rail and road transport modes. The norm allows transportation of liquid products in all modes with tank-containers.
The variety of tanks and containers on the basis of the product to be transported has an unlimited range. Although it is divided into chemistry, food and liquefied gas, there are also tank containers with different features to meet the requirements of the products intended to be transported.
The correct tank-container selection is made in accordance with the characteristics of each product that is intended to be transported.
The specific gravity of the product is at the top of these criteria. With tankcontainers ranging from 17m3 to 36m3 in volume, it is always the primary goal to be able to ship maximum products at one time and to minimize the logistics costs of customers.
On the other hand, the properties such as etching rate, flash point and vapor pressure of the product are calculated before filling and shipment, and the right tankcontainer selection is made for the product you want to transport.
Here, the aim is to provide maximum human and environmental safety during transportation within the framework of ADR rules.
Since 1946, the right tank-container selection can be made easily thanks to the database, which has been specializing in liquid transportation for 74 years, and has been created from the knowledge and experience of our leading company in the liquid transportation sector.
The tank-container, which is preferred more and more every day, keeps up with today’s technology. With many technological equipment and ergonomic solutions, it facilitates today’s operation, facilitates tracking and increases the possibility of rapid intervention.
Our company has more than 44 thousand tank-containers circulating around the world and each one has been updated or manufactured with equipment and solutions to facilitate daily operations. These can be mainly dealt with GPS positioning, and intelligent Thermometer as temperature tracking and remote level controls.
The fluidity of the products intended to be transported in liquid form may decrease according to the ambient temperature, and therefore the products may need to be heated according to their own characteristics prior to delivery. It is much easier to plan this with remote monitoring equipment.
These specially designed equipment’s under the name of “Smart Logistics” are used in our company to closely follow the entire shipment process and provide instant information. Of course, this equipment are not only limited to GPS and Smart thermometer. Upon request, criteria such as remote pressure and filling level can be followed.
Thanks to the developed interface, it is also known that automatic information is provided for the positions of the tanks in accordance with the determined upper and lower criteria or for all other information requested.
Family own company Hoyer Group which has professional management based in Hamburg Germany, has established own branch in Turkey due to the increase in business volume in 1996.
With the growing business and opportunities during the years, Hoyer Group acquired the majority share of it is main subcontractor who operates the domestic road transportation in Turkey and gained the significant volume in domestic market.
Hoyer Group is still operating with growing volume road transportation in domestic and Balkan States by selecting the most suitable tank containers according the products type.
Due to the fact that the tank-container is portable and allows for flexible solutions such as taking it to the intermediate warehouse, making room for the new product in the port warehouses, it is more preferred in liquid transportation operations every day.
Tank-containers, which have today’s portable and technological solutions in the liquid world, are now well established in our lives as an indispensable transport unit and continue to replace road-tankers every day with great advantages.
