Global Diamond Delivers Customized 45CBM LPG Tank Trailer for International Energy Transportation Project
Recently, Shandong Global Diamond Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. successfully completed the manufacturing, testing, and final inspection of a customized 45CBM LPG Fuel Tank Trailer for an overseas customer.
Designed for the transportation of liquefied petroleum tanker trailer, particularly propane, this trailer will be used in regional fuel distribution and energy supply projects. The vehicle has passed comprehensive quality inspections and is now ready for export delivery.
As demand for clean energy continues to increase worldwide, LPG transportation equipment plays an increasingly important role in energy infrastructure, industrial fuel supply, and residential gas distribution.
45 Cubic Meter Capacity for Efficient LPG Transportation
The trailer features a 45m³ pressure vessel tank with a rated payload capacity of 18,900 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 31,900 kg. Its optimized design allows operators to maximize transportation efficiency while complying with hazardous goods transportation regulations.
Main Specifications
| Item | Specification |
| Tank Volume | 45 m³ |
| Medium | LPG (Propane) |
| Payload Capacity | 18,900 kg |
| GVW | 31,900 kg |
| Curb Weight | 13,000 kg |
| Overall Dimensions | 11,955 × 2,550 × 4,000 mm |
| Axle Configuration | 3 Axles |
| Suspension | Air Suspension |
The high-capacity design helps reduce transportation costs per ton while improving operational efficiency for long-distance fuel delivery.
High-Strength Pressure Vessel Design
Safety is the most critical factor in LPG transportation.
The tank is manufactured using W420R pressure vessel steel, a material specifically designed for liquefied gas storage and transportation.
Key pressure vessel parameters include:
| Item | Value |
| Design Pressure | 1.76 MPa |
| Working Pressure | 1.76 MPa |
| Safety Valve Setting Pressure | 1.85 MPa |
| Design Temperature | -40°C to 50°C |
| Minimum Metal Design Temperature | -40°C |
This configuration ensures safe operation under varying environmental and transportation conditions.
Air Suspension System for Better Stability
Unlike conventional mechanical suspension trailers, this LPG tanker adopts a three-axle air suspension system.
Benefits of Air Suspension
✔ Improved driving stability
✔ Reduced vibration during transportation
✔ Better protection for the pressure vessel
✔ Lower tire wear
✔ Enhanced ride comfort
✔ Longer service life of chassis components
For LPG transportation, minimizing vibration and impact loads is essential to maintaining long-term tank integrity and operational safety.
Comprehensive Safety Protection System
To meet hazardous goods transportation requirements, the trailer is equipped with multiple safety systems.
Safety Configuration
- Mechanical Emergency Shut-Off Valve
- Liquid Phase Valve (DN50)
- Gas Phase Valve (DN25)
- Float-Type Liquid Level Gauge
- Dual-Side Emergency Operation System
- Electrostatic Grounding Device
- 8kg Fire Extinguishers × 2
- Drum Brake System
- Dual-Circuit Pneumatic Braking System
The emergency shut-off valves can be operated from both sides of the vehicle, allowing rapid response in emergency situations and significantly improving operational safety.
Heavy-Duty Chassis for Long-Term Reliability
The running gear adopts a reinforced heavy-duty structure designed for challenging operating conditions commonly found in Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
Running Gear Configuration
| Component | Specification |
| Axles | 13T Drum Brake Axles × 3 |
| Tires | 12R22.5-18PR |
| Wheels | 9.00 × 22.5 Steel Rims |
| Landing Gear | Dual-Speed Landing Gear |
| King Pin | 50# Bolt-Type |
The robust chassis design ensures reliable performance during long-distance transportation and under full-load operating conditions.
Manufactured According to Strict Industry Standards
The trailer is designed and manufactured in accordance with recognized industry regulations and standards for mobile pressure vessels and hazardous goods transportation.
Every production stage undergoes strict inspection procedures, including:
- Material Inspection
- Tank Fabrication Inspection
- Welding Quality Verification
- Pressure Testing
- Leakage Testing
- Final Vehicle Inspection
These quality control processes ensure that each LPG tanker trailer meets the safety and reliability requirements expected by international customers.
