What is the capacity range of the Type 7 (cryogenic) intermodal tank?

• A. 4500-5000 gallons
• B. 6000-7000 gallons
• C. 3500-4000 gallons
• D. 5000-6000 gallons

Answer: (A)

Type 7 cryogenic intermodal tanks are designed to carry liquefied gases at very low temperatures, and their payload capacity is typically around four and a half to five thousand gallons. This range represents a practical balance: enough cargo capacity for efficient transport while staying within highway weight limits and allowing the tank’s insulation and boil-off handling to perform effectively. Because of these design and regulatory considerations, the 4,500–5,000 gallon range is the standard for many Type 7 cryogenic intermodal tanks, making it the best match among common options. Larger ranges would push toward heavier loads that’re less common in standard fleets, while smaller ranges would underutilize the tank’s potential.
