Strengths of the intermodal service:
- Increased load capacity: ideal for handling large volumes of liquid chemicals
- Organisational planning and flexibility: customised solutions using dedicated containers, even exclusively, to meet customer needs
- Remote control and monitoring of temperature and real-time tracking of cargo
- Environmental sustainability: a responsible approach that aims to reduce environmental impact; the combination of rail and sea transport with road enables a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.
SPECIFICATIONS OF TANK CONTAINERS AND SWAP BODIES:
- variable capacity from 22.000 to 35.000 litres
- available in single and multi-compartment configurations
- equipped with autonomous heating system for maintaining and monitoring the temperature during transport up to 80°, capable of guaranteeing up to 220 hours of continuous operation, with remote alarm system to signal any anomalies
- remote temperature monitoring and real-time visibility.
Special Equipment
Canil employs auxiliary equipment such as compressors, pumps and nitrogen units, which make it possible to diversify the way products are discharged while maintaining their characteristics. Systems that ensure versatility and operational flexibility, in line with specific customer requirements.

Independent Heating Systems
The vehicles are equipped with independent glycol heating, capable of maintaining temperatures up to 80°C even during transport and storage, to ensure the stability of the most sensitive products.

Tipping Chassis
Ideal for high viscosity products, they allow quick and complete unloading by reducing/eliminating the residue inside the tank.

Ground Operator System
Management of loading and unloading operations from below thanks to the control panel for operating the devices installed at eye level, which eliminates the risk of the operator falling, guaranteeing maximum safety and facilitating driver operation.

Full grating and Double handrail
Ensure greater safety for operators working at height when loading and unloading tankcontainers.
