(57) The present invention relates, in a first aspect, to a tank container, the use of
a tank container, and a system for storing and/or transporting a gas and/or liquid,
which tank container comprises an elongated, mainly cylindrical tank vessel, a frame
and at least one outlet valve, wherein the frame comprises a front and back frame
each with 2 or 4 corner castings with facilities for receiving or engaging with connection
means, which are attached to said tank vessel of the tank container, characterized
in that the gross weight of the tank container is more than 40000 kg (up to 75000
kg inclusive). By means of a better material quality for the corner castings of the
tank container, it can be prevented that the container deforms permanently in case
of high tonnages, e.g. when lifting. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a box container with 4 bottom corner
castings, the use of a box container, and a system for storing and/or transporting
solids, whereby the gross weight of the box container is more than 40000 kg (up to
75000 kg inclusive).
