FAQ: Liquid cargo transport
How is the cost of liquid transport calculated?
Price depends on density, volume, route distance, and special requirements (heating, ADR). Tank cleaning after the trip is often included.
What is a steam-cleaning certificate?
It confirms the tank has undergone sanitary cleaning with pressurized steam — essential for food and clean chemicals.
Can I find a tanker with a pump for unloading?
Yes. Many unloading sites lack pumps, so an onboard pump or compressor is a major advantage.
How are hazardous liquids transported (ADR)?
Carrier must have ADR certification, approved tank, and a trained driver.
Does Lardi-Trans transport liquids itself?
No, it is a marketplace connecting shippers and carriers.
What are the winter transport specifics?
Many liquids thicken or freeze; insulated or heated tanks are required.
