A ton container is a bulk tank designed specifically for transporting large quantities of liquefied gases. The dimensions described—about 8 feet long and 3 feet in diameter—and a capacity near 2,000 pounds match the standard ton container used for hazmat bulk shipments. This size is purpose-built for carrying roughly a ton of compressed, liquefied gas and is mounted for transport on trucks or rail cars.

Carboys are small, hand-carried containers used for limited liquid quantities, not bulk gas. Y-Ton cylinders are large cylinders but don’t match the eight-by-three-foot bulk-tank shape and typical 2,000-pound capacity described. Boxcar tanks refer to bulk tanks associated with freight cars rather than a standalone ton container.
