LIQUA FLEXITANKS SUCCESSFULLY PASS AAR TEST

LiquA Flexitanks Successfully Pass AAR Test

At LiquA, we are committed to delivering not only the largest capacity Flexitanks in the industry but also the highest standards of safety and compliance. We are proud to announce that our Flexitanks have successfully passed the AAR (Association of American Railroads) test—reinforcing our reliability in rail transport across North America.

 

What Is the AAR Test?

The AAR (Association of American Railroads) test is a mandatory safety and performance certification required for Flexitanks used in rail transport across North America. It involves rigorous simulations of real-world rail conditions, including longitudinal impacts, vibrations, and structural stress tests, to ensure that Flexitanks can safely withstand the dynamic forces encountered during transit.

 

Passing this test is mandatory for any Flexitank brand wishing to transport non-hazardous liquids by rail in the U.S. and Canada.

 

This certification is officially recognized by CN Rail (Canadian National Railway)—Canada’s largest railway company—as well as all major Class I railroads in North America such as BNSF, CSX, NS. These operators require that all equipment used in intermodal transport meet AAR standards to ensure cargo safety and rail network integrity.

 

By meeting these requirements, LiquA Flexitanks are now approved for use on CN Rail routes, unlocking access to safer, cost-effective, and sustainable rail logistics across Canada and the United States.

 

Why This Matters

Rail transport offers significant cost advantages and a lower carbon footprint. By passing the AAR test, LiquA Flexitanks can now be confidently used for intermodal shipments that include rail legs—especially valuable in the U.S. and Canadian markets.
