Well, yes, and bulktainers are 20' containers.

They fit on the same trailers as 20' box containers. bulktainers are tanks for liquids but have a frame to make them fit the same space as a 20' box.

In theory yes,But ive never seen a Bulktaner on a 20' chassis. Im on the road alot,and i see them on Custom Bulktainer Trailers that are about 35'.

Plus he sent a photo of a regular 20'' not a Tanker,thats what i was talking about.
 
the bulktainer is 20' it can load on any style chassi that accepts a 20' container. commonly they go on a 35' chassi as they are to heavy to weigh in under some states "bridge" weight formula. Mainly failing the 80k gross truck weight with a short tractor/trailer wheel base. its also why they have the split tandems to get the trailer weight safely within the bridge weight laws.you may notice some 20' box containers on a 3 axel chassi also for the same brigde law reasons
