Overview

What are Bitutainers?

Bitutainers are specialised bulk containerisation solutions for storing and transporting bitumen safely. Made from high-strength, heat-resistant material, they allow efficient filling, transfer and unloading of liquid bitumen with no risk of contamination or loss.

They are an advanced alternative to the traditional drums and bag containers, and work well for large construction projects and large-volume shipments.

Choosing packaging

Is a Bitutainer right for you?

Bitutainers are insulated, heated ISO tank containers that move hot bitumen in bulk. They suit buyers with heated storage tanks who order regular, large volumes and want to avoid the cost of melting packaged product. The bitumen arrives ready to pump, which saves time on site and reduces handling losses compared with drums or bags.

For smaller or irregular orders, drums or jumbo bags may be more economical. Our Bitubox is another option to consider.

Planning points
Confirm that the destination port and trucking route can handle tank containers.
Check that your receiving tank has enough free capacity and heating.
Agree the discharge temperature and procedure with your team before arrival.
