Understanding LNG Semi Trailers and Their Applications

A semi-trailer’s axles are positioned behind the center of gravity, allowing partial load transfer to the tractor. The trailer itself lacks power, relying entirely on the tractor to move cargo. LNG semi trailers are specialized vehicles designed to transport cryogenic liquid natural gas safely over long distances.

These semi trailers are widely used in energy logistics, including natural gas delivery from refineries to distribution stations. Their design ensures containment, pressure stability, and compliance with stringent safety regulations. Applications include industrial energy supply, fuel stations, and chemical industries requiring high-purity LNG transport.

Key Components and Technological Advantages

The LNG tanker chassis uses high-strength steel (Q345B main beam, Q235 support beams) ensuring durability while minimizing weight. The tank is a double-layer structure with an RP1.0 S30408 inner tank and Q345R outer tank, featuring plasma-welded seams to withstand thermal stress and pressure changes during transit.

Suspension systems include 3x13-ton FUWA axles with air suspension and double tires, providing excellent stability and load distribution. Wheels use TRIANGLE 12R22.5 tires or steel 9.00x22.5 options, enhancing durability under heavy loads. The tanker also integrates pipelines, pressure gauges, emergency cut-off valves, and triple safety devices for both gas and liquid lines.

Transportation Performance and Operational Benefits

The trailer has a total weight of 39,000 KGS and curb weight of 15,800 KGS, optimizing fuel efficiency. Rated load capacity is 23,200 KGS with a fifth wheel load of 15,600 KGS. Its 3-axle layout ensures stable handling, reducing risks of rollover and cargo shift, especially in long-distance transport.

LNG pipelines are DN50, allowing rapid loading and unloading while minimizing pressure drop. Safety valves, emergency cut-off systems, and back-fire relief valves ensure compliance with international standards and protect both operators and cargo. Additional safety equipment includes dry powder fire extinguishers, electrostatic grounding belts, and remote emergency shutdown systems.

Production Standards and Quality Assurance

WONDEE implements ISO 9001-2015 for both production and services, ensuring high-quality manufacturing and reliable after-sales support. More than 80% of parts are self-produced, allowing strict control over material quality and assembly precision. Each unit undergoes 100% inspection before shipment, and the chassis comes with a 24-month warranty.
