Industrial Pressure Vessels: Bought, Sold & Transported
A pressure vessel is a major capital asset, and moving one on or off your site is rarely simple. Alpha Tank Services brokers large-capacity, code-stamped storage vessels across the U.S. and Canada, handling the sale, the purchase, and the transport so you work with one team from the data tag to the delivery.
For decades, businesses across the energy, agricultural, and manufacturing sectors have trusted Alpha Tank Services as a single point of contact for the entire vessel lifecycle. We source the right unit, verify its documentation, negotiate fair value, and coordinate certified transport, so you’re not stitching together separate vendors for each step.
Our real advantage is the network we’ve built over the years: the buyers, sellers, and haulers who have the right product at the right time. That breadth means you’re matched to the correct vessel for your application and pressure rating, not whatever happens to be sitting on a single lot.
Connect With Our TeamBuying & Selling Pressure Vessels
Whether you’re adding capacity or recovering capital from idle equipment, we manage both sides of the transaction with the same transparency. Our nationwide network gives buyers one of the most diverse vessel inventories available, and gives sellers direct access to qualified, interested parties. There’s no juggling separate vendors and no guesswork on value.
When you’re buying, you get a genuine range of options and complete clarity on each unit:
- Units sourced from all major manufacturers, in every capacity and configuration
- Full specification sheets and ASME documentation provided upfront
- Capacity and pressure rating matched to your application
- Independent guidance when you’re unsure of the right fit
When you’re selling, all we need to begin is a photo of the data tag. From there we handle the rest:
- Fair-market valuation backed by current demand, priced loaded at your location or delivered with freight included
- Purging, disconnection, and crane handling coordinated for you
- Certified transport that takes the unit off your site safely
- Environmental and safety compliance throughout
Gases We Handle
Each product we store carries its own handling requirements, and our experience spans the full range of liquefied and process gases. We don’t just move propane; we understand the differences that keep every vessel safe and compliant.
- Propane (LPG): The core of what we do. Bulk storage and distribution vessels for energy providers, co-ops, and agricultural operations managing seasonal demand.
- Anhydrous ammonia: A staple of agricultural fertilizer supply that demands strict handling and compliance. Our crews know the protocols for purging, disconnecting, and transporting ammonia vessels safely.
- Butane: Common in petrochemical and blending applications, handled with the same code-stamped, certified approach as our propane work.
If your operation runs on another process gas, reach out; our network reaches well beyond these three.
Specifications & Applications
Our vessels are built to ASME code and sized for serious industrial and agricultural use. Typical units range from 12,000 to 90,000 gallons, constructed from carbon and low-alloy steel in both horizontal and vertical orientations, and designed to ASME Section VIII, Division 1. Every unit comes with its U-1 form and data tag verified, and we handle service across propane (LPG), anhydrous ammonia, butane, and process gas.
That range suits clients across three sectors. Energy providers rely on us for bulk storage and distribution, including terminal and co-op capacity that absorbs seasonal demand. Agricultural operations turn to us for on-site bulk supply of fertilizer and fuel across farms and co-ops. And industrial plants use our vessels for feedstock and buffer storage, where uptime depends on a steady supply.
You can view our current inventory to see available units, or reach out for a fair-market quote if you’re ready to begin.
How It Works
- Connect – Tell us what you need, or send a photo of your vessel’s data tag.
- Evaluate – We verify specifications, documentation, and condition, then provide a fair-market valuation.
- Match – Through our nationwide network, we pair you with the right buyer, seller, or unit at the right price.
- Move – Certified carriers handle purging, lifting, permitting, and transport so the vessel changes hands safely.
Safety Note
Every vessel we handle carries real risk if mismanaged. Our deep experience in tank management, purging, disconnection, lifting, and regulatory compliance is what gives clients peace of mind that their equipment is in seasoned hands. When hazardous materials are involved, cutting corners isn’t an option.
