ABSTRACT:
An swap tank, which is suited for being used in connection with two different locking modules of ISO container vehicles, includes a bottom frame with two frame portions each of which consists of a lower transverse beam (15) and two longitudinal beams (16) that extend only over part of the tank length. An end ring element (18) welded to each tank end bottom (12) is connected to the transverse beam (15) by triangular saddle piece (23) placed on the transverse beam (15). The longitudinal beam (16) is connected to a reinforcing ring (14) surrounding the tank at its end remote from the transverse beam (15) and to a further reinforcing ring (13) at an intermediate location. The portion of the longitudinal beam (16) between the two reinforcing rings (13,14) serves for engagement by a grappler arm. Outer corner fittings (17) are provided on the underside of the transverse beam (15) at both ends thereof. Inner corner fittings (28) are provided on the underside of each longitudinal beam (16) at the location where the latter is connected to the outer reinforcing ring (13). In the longitudinal direction of the tank, the mutual spacing between the two outer corner fittings (17) is 30' (approx. 9125 mm) and between the inner corner fittings (28) is 20' (approx. 6058 mm).
