UN/DOT Carbon Steel Vessels vs. Stainless Steel Transport Vessels
While Sharpsville Container Corporation frequently uses stainless steel for our transport vessels, our carbon steel tanks are also highly effective options for many clients. We offer both standard and custom-built options. These UN/DOT vessels can be rated to meet a wide range of code requirements. These include UN A1A, DOT 4BW, DOT T-21, DOT-50, and Transport Canada. In some cases, we also offer ASME certifications in conjunction with DOT/TC.
UN/DOT Recertification Services
Sharpsville Container Corporation offers a re-certification service to our customers. Rigorous testing and repair procedures ensure that the vessels leave our shop fully compliant with privilege regulations. This could potentially extend the service life of the vessel and reduce fleet CAPEX costs.
