Use Cases
Common use cases include bulk LPG/propane delivery to gas depots, commercial resellers, and industrial sites, and serving as a long-range supply trailer for rural or island distribution networks. As a gas tanker (also referred to as LPG trailer, propane tanker, or gas semi-trailer), it’s frequently used where large single-load capacity and roadworthiness for long hauls are essential.

Detailed Description
This carbon-steel LPG tanker is typically fabricated from high-strength pressure-grade carbon steel (commonly listed as Q345R / Q370R or equivalent) with full heat treatment and NDT (ultrasonic/radiographic) inspection during manufacture. Typical design pressures vary by model (common working/design pressures for LPG tankers: ~1.6–1.77 MPa) and leak/hydro test pressures are specified per manufacturer—these ensure safe pressurized storage and road transport of liquefied petroleum gases. Advantage: robust carbon-steel construction with certified pressure ratings.
Chassis and running gear normally include a 3-axle configuration (BPW/Fuwa or equivalent axles), air or mechanical suspension options (air suspension or multi-leaf spring), heavy duty tires (e.g., 12.00R22.5 series), ABS/EBS braking and optional accessories such as valve boxes (left/right), splash guards, rear underrun protection, JOST landing gear, and customised hose boxes or pump mounts. Advantage: configurable axle/suspension/valve layouts to match local road rules and operator preferences.
