What’s a powder tank? Is it different from an ISO container?

While powder tanks and ISO containers seem similar and both used for transporting goods, they have distinct designs for different purposes. A powder tank or a powder tanker, is a specialised heavy goods vehicle (HGV) with a tank mounted for transporting dry powder cargo. It’s popularly used for transporting flour, grains, plastic pellets, and cement. Colwell uses high-quality tanks designed with safety and efficiency in mind.

ISO containers are standardised containers used for transporting mainly gases and liquids. They can transport both non-hazardous and hazardous fluids.
