Home Services Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment Shipping Water Tank Transport Services

A water tank is a specialized container engineered to store water for potable use, agricultural irrigation, fire suppression, dust control, and various industrial processes. From plastic water tanks (often called poly tanks) to massive concrete reservoirs, these vessels are the backbone of water storage systems.

The logistics of moving large tanks can be intricate due to their sheer volume and weight, often classifying them as oversize loads. However, Atlantic Project Cargo is your trusted partner in this endeavor. We utilize specialized equipment and a versatile fleet to ensure the safe delivery of your equipment!

How Much Does it Cost to Ship Industrial Equipment?

While there is no universal price, we can outline the primary factors that influence the final cost of shipping:

Mode of transportation: Air charters command a higher price point compared to ocean or ground transportation options

 

Distance: Hauling a water tank across the country is generally more economical than transporting it overseas

Additional expenses: These may include insurance premiums, necessary permits, customs duties, and pilot cars for oversized loads

 

Size and Weight: The heavier the cargo and the larger the tank size, the higher the shipping expense

 

Season: The shipping industry experiences high and low seasons, which directly impact the final cost

International Shipping of Water Tanks

Roll-on-Roll-off (Ro-Ro)

This is a streamlined method of shipping where equipment is driven directly onto and off the vessel

Full-Container Load (FCL)

This implies that the entire container is exclusively reserved for your shipment. It is a favored choice for shipping plastic tanks due to the protection it offers

Flat Rack

An excellent choice for transporting equipment, particularly those that are oversized or have dimensions exceeding standard container limits

Air Cargo

The most rapid method for transporting a water tank or its critical parts, though it comes at a higher cost

International Shipping Compliance, Regulations, and Restrictions for Water Tanks

Regulations vary significantly by nation, but the most common requirements include:

  • Export control: Adherence to ITAR, EAR, and similar frameworks
  • Import regulations: Tariffs & duties, non-tariff barriers, safety standards, and customs clearance procedures
  • Transport regulations: Accurate shipping documentation, dangerous goods protocols (if the tank previously held chemicals), weight and dimensions restrictions, and insurance
  • Technical standards: Variances in safety standards, emissions, and noise regulations

Water Tank Moving Services Across The Country

Flatbed

These trailers provide a foundational, flat platform for securing and hauling water tanks efficiently

Step-Deck

Featuring a lowered rear platform, this trailer type offers the necessary clearance to transport machinery legally without necessitating special height permits

RGN (Removable Gooseneck)

The most significant benefit of RGN trailers is their capacity to accommodate high loads and massive industrial vessels

Restrictions on Moving Water Tanks

Moving equipment over extended distances involves various restrictions and regulations, including:

  • Road regulations: Adherence to speed limits, width and height restrictions, and road use permits
  • Transport regulations: Requirements for oversized load permits, escort vehicles (pilot cars), precise route planning, and liability insurance
  • Additional regulations: Seasonal travel restrictions, weight limits per axle, and specific local municipal regulations
