UBH International is a world leader in its field and the UK's largest manufacturer of inter-modal tank-containers, swap tanks and mini-tanks for the secure transportation of bulk liquids and gases, including cryogenic gases.

Inter-modal tank-containers can be used interchangeably for road, rail and sea transport world-wide.

Tanks in 10, 20 & 30-ft frames, (also 7.15, 7.45 & 7.82-metre swap tanks for European road, rail and short-sea use.
Operation governed by the same ADR regulations as apply to road tankers - the tank-container is ideally suited to long-haul transport via major rail axes, with delivery by truck to the final destination.
Capacities from 1000 up to 42000 litres. Tank-containers can be tailored to a wide range of specific requirements.
Tanks are available with: baffles to minimise surge; multiple compartments; linings for corrosive or high purity liquids; steam, electrical or water-glycol heating systems (up to 220 degrees C); refrigeration units and monitoring equipment to record cargo condition in transit.

Cryogenic Transport Equipment

UBH International, some years ago turned its long experience of high quality pressure vessel manufacture and transport-tank frame design to the challenges posed by cryogenic logistics.

Intensive research and development resulted in a new cryogenic tank design, conceived from first principles, capable of dealing with the most demanding of environments, whilst minimising thermal bridges between inner and outer vessel.

In designing effective cryogenic transport equipment there are a number of key factors which are critical to successful and economic operation:

Optimum vacuum ensures effective insulation to maximise holding times and minimise the need for re-pumping to maintain performance.
Low tare weight to reduce fuel costs, maximise payload and ensure general ease of handling.
Overall robustness and resilience of the equipment to protect cargo and minimise M&R costs.

Insulation and final assembly of cryogenic tanks at UBH International take place in a dedicated and specially designed construction hall, where all aspects of manufacture can be carefully controlled and monitored to ensure:

Quality of the superinsulation applied to the inner vessel and for the weld integrity of the outer shell and pipework.
Quality control, using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure optimum leak detection and remediation.
Highest standards of cleanliness.

This careful attention to detail results in:

Minimised heat inleak, thanks to the efficiency of correctly applied insulation.
Exceptional vacuum levels in the interspace between inner and outer vessels.

In both these vital respects, UBH International is setting new standards in the manufacture of cryogenic vessels.

Tank Container Industry

Even before entering the tank container industry, UBH had long been recognised as one of the UK’s most prolific manufacturers of road tankers, with a tradition stretching back to the 1950's.

As well as the intermodal tanks, UBH International can supply custom built cryogenic tank trailers/road tankers and cryogenic vessels ready for mounting on fixed chassis vehicles.

The vessels for such equipment are built to the same fundamental design and manufactured to the same exacting standards as the intermodal tanks and can be tailored to the precise requirement of the customer
