Next-generation tank containers: innovations

Improving our fleet, even in a delicate period from the point of view of the specific sector and the economic situation more generally, is always one of our main goals. Expanding the fleet of vehicles and tank containers we have available is absolutely essential in order to be able to provide our customers with efficient transport and fast orders.

More new tank containers on the way

That is why we are delighted to announce the arrival of new tank containers, further renewing the container fleet available to Rubino Rs with new units manufactured according to modern production processes and to our precise specifications. We already have about 200 single-compartment tank containers with 28,000, 32,000, 34,500 and 35,000 litre capacity, capable of transporting all liquid foodstuffs also in ATP regime, which can be heated and pressurised, as well as with ground control (unloading-loading from below). This wide availability allows us to exploit intermodal solutions to their utmost: a guarantee of speed and safety, synonymous with optimisation of costs and shipping times, but also of eco-sustainability and attention to the environment. Yet this wide availability does not stop us from always building new tank container proposals.

At the same time, all Rubino Rs containers are built according to ISO (International Standards Organisation) standards, thereby adapting to different modes of transport.

What are containers?

Container tanks are multi-purpose tank-shaped containers used for the bulk transport of liquids, gases and powders. They are cost-effective because they can efficiently transport materials in an intermodal manner, thereby optimising shipping and handling costs. In fact, the cargo can travel by road, rail, or sea. The containers can also be stacked, allowing to multiply the amount of liquids and materials to be transported.

Generally, ISO Tank Containers conform to precise guidelines (size, strength, reliability, etc.) with default characteristics established by the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO). They allow to ship a wide range of items. From edible fluids and non-hazardous liquids to hazardous and flammable materials.

GMP+, a guarantee for food/non-food shipments

Rubino Rs specialises in the transport of food liquids, but we also have specific vehicles and containers for the transport of non-food liquids, always in multimodal or intermodal mode.

In short, we know our tank containers and their possibilities inside and out. We handle containers to and from freight terminals in Apulia, Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont and Liguria. From north to south and vice versa. We are certain we provide the best possible service because we complete the entire tank container handling and storage cycle. In fact, our premises are equipped to handle and store tank containers, as well as wash and/or heat them. We have 40 container carriers (a number in continuous growth in terms of both quantity and quality) dedicated to the transport of tank containers, with easy access to loading and unloading operations.

The 10,000 square metre forecourt is entirely paved, with annexed offices and two indoor tracks and another outdoor one for washing tanks. Our proximity to State Road 16, a connecting artery that runs through the central part of Apulia, also benefits us on several levels. The company is equipped with Certiquality 9001:2015 and GMP+ certification and we are also authorised to transport CAT 3 by-products with special tanks. This ensures that customers can distinguish the transport means between food and non-food liquids.

Tank containers and safety to and from all over Europe

Taking care of our container fleet means we can confidently carry out road and intermodal transports throughout Europe with the safety of an entirely real-time tracking service on all vehicles (Trucks – Semi-Trailers – Container Carriers and Tank Containers), using a satellite system and route control with the possibility of triggering alarms for signal interruption (Anti-jamming system).

Innovation, safety, organisation thus become structural in the activity of Rubino Rs. Also thanks to the significant investments that have brought the company to constantly equip itself with new, latest-generation containers. All while always being able to pay attention to the environment and eco-sustainability, also thanks to intermodal solutions.
