FAQ on typical Bitutainers
No, Bitutainers are supplied with factory installed heater tubes but Burner Sets and other equipment is not included.
Three options; Direct Fire Diesel or LPG Burners, inserting electric elements into the direct fire heating tubes or by using Thermal Oil from an existing circuit. Direct Fire heating is the most popular option.
Typically it will take 10-11 hours to heat a full Bitutainer (using a 200ltr of diesel) from ambient (approx. 20°C) to pumping temperate (approx. 140°C).
No, 40ft Bitutainers are for storage only. They are not designed or certified for transportation full of product.
Yes, they are shipped as standard CSC plated containers
Yes, Bitutainers are suitable for all grades of bitumen, PMBs and heavy fuel oils. The exception is Coal Tar due to the higher temperatures required for discharge and transfer.
Rental Bitutainers
We can offer short and long term leases/rental of both new and existing bitutainers and bitumen tank containers. New container equipment ex-works or positioned to your place of demand and existing containers from our depots. The rental contracts have the advantages of flexibility, which often is a necessity in an ever-changing market environment.
The Lessee will be granted certain redelivery locations as well as conditions for the returned equipment i.e. repairs standard and quantities in any given month. We can also offer a full service lease where pre-agreed repair cost and maximum return flexibility is offered for certain type of equipment.
Lease Purchase
The Lease Purchase Option we offer usually fulfills the requirements of the shipping lines, forwarders, terminals and other companies in the Transport industry, for their long-term investment in containers and related equipment.
The Lease/Purchase contracts have the advantages of the operational lease, since the expense is fully deductible during the term of the contract (in most countries) while at the same time the advantage of a bank loan is maintained as title to the equipment will ultimately be transferred to a company nominated by the Lessee at the end of the term.
Lease Purchase, as opposed to operational leasing, offers the Lessee very attractive daily rental rates on equipment built to the customer’s own design and specifications. The rent is either based on fixed rental payment, or variable rental payments, adjusted according to changes in the underlying reference interest rate
Terms and conditions are always open for discussion with the Lessee and subject to individual credit approval.
