Milk, edible oils, juices, liquid chocolate: we carry your sensitive goods temperature-controlled and on time across Europe — from Sicily to the North Cape.
Owner-managed forwarder from Hamburg — exclusively for liquid food since 1997.
Hansetank is an owner-managed family business from Hamburg. No general cargo, no chemicals — we transport liquid food and food-grade products only. This focus is your advantage: everyone here knows how to handle milk, edible oil or chocolate.
What this means for you:
From the first enquiry to the proof of delivery, the same team looks after you — in your language.
A well-rehearsed team plans and manages your transports across Europe — and speaks eight languages with your drivers and consignees. You have one dedicated contact who knows your route. No hold music, no ticket system.
From the western ports to Eastern Europe: our focus is the east–west connection through Europe. We know the routes, the customs procedures and the loading points — and plan so that your goods arrive on time.
Edible oils, juices and concentrates, milk, glucose, chocolate raw materials or wine: we transport liquid food only — single-product, in food-certified stainless-steel tanks.
Modern stainless-steel multi-compartment tank trailers, insulated and heatable, with their own pumps and compressors. Maintained, cleaned and food-grade — so every compartment is as clean as your product demands.
Through our own app we stay in constant contact with driver and cargo during transport — with live position and temperature history. You don't have to ask, you can see it.
Our own forwarding software links order, dispatch, vehicle and customer. Transparent processes from quotation to proof of delivery — no isolated tools, no paper chaos.

We drive across Europe, focusing on the east–west connection. Whatever is loaded at your site arrives at the other end safely, temperature-controlled and on time.
We are looking for reliable haulage companies that want to grow with us. At Hansetank you are not an anonymous carrier but a fixed part of our planning.
What you can expect from us:
Behind the wheel, in dispatch or in administration — with us you are not a personnel number. Fixed routes, modern stainless-steel vehicles and colleagues who stick together. Owner-managed, honest, Hanseatic.
