How to Use This Classification

Specify material (steel, plastic, fiberglass), whether the tank is new or empty/cleaned, and note prior contents to guide carrier rules and accessorials.
Capture true footprint and features: length x diameter, overall height on cradle, and any projections like fittings or domes (e.g., 120 in L x 48 in OD). Include photos or a spec sheet.
Package for cylinder stability: use saddles or cradles, block and band to a skid, cap and protect all ports/threads, and clearly mark lift points and center of gravity.
Plan handling up front: tanks rarely suit liftgates. Arrange long-fork forklifts, a spreader bar, or crane service, and request no-stack/service-sensitive handling on the BOL.

Business Value

Accurate specs reduce reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins on LTL or partial truckload moves.
Cradles and valve protection cut damage risk and limit costly delays during equipment commissioning.
Clean, verified empty tanks avoid hazmat-related surcharges and detention tied to decontamination checks.
Right-sized packaging and handling minimize linear-foot and over-dimensional fees, improving freight rates and reliability.
