China Fullcryo Suppliers: 52.6m3 Liquefied Natural Gas & Liquid Ethane Transport Semi-trailer from Factory
Product Description
1. Definition and Function: An LNG transport semi-trailer is mainly used for the long-distance and large-capacity transportation of LNG. It can safely and efficiently transport LNG from receiving stations, liquid plants to end customers, playing a crucial role in the LNG supply chain.
2. Structural Features
Double-layer Vacuum Insulated Tank
The tank of the LNG semi-trailer usually adopts a double-layer stainless steel structure, with a vacuum insulation layer between the inner and outer layers. This design can effectively reduce heat conduction, ensuring that LNG is stably stored at a low temperature of -162°C and reducing the volatility of boil-off gas (BOG).
High-strength Support Frame
The tank is fixed to the semi-trailer chassis through a high-strength steel frame. This not only ensures the ability to withstand dynamic loads and vibrations during transportation but also reduces the vehicle's own weight, thereby improving transportation efficiency.
Multi-axle Chassis Design
Commonly configured with a 3-axle or 4-axle chassis, it uses air suspension or leaf spring suspension to ensure driving stability and load-bearing capacity. Some high-end models are equipped with an automatic inflation and deflation system to adapt to different road conditions.
Application Scenarios
LNG transport semi-trailers are widely used in industrial and urban gas supply. They can be used for long-distance transportation between receiving stations, liquid plants, and end customers, and are also suitable for industrial and urban gas peak shaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of an LNG transport semi-trailer?
An LNG transport semi-trailer is designed for long-distance and large-capacity transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). It safely and efficiently transports LNG from receiving stations and liquid plants directly to end customers, forming a vital link in the LNG supply chain.
How does the vacuum insulation system protect the stored LNG?
The tank features a double-layer stainless steel structure with a vacuum insulation layer sealed between the inner and outer layers. This design minimizes heat transfer, keeping the LNG stable at an ultra-low temperature of -162°C and significantly reducing the boil-off gas (BOG) rate.
What is the structural benefit of the high-strength support frame?
The tank is secured to the chassis using a high-strength steel frame. This design successfully absorbs dynamic loads and vibrations during transport while keeping the vehicle's overall tare weight low, which optimizes payload capacity and transport efficiency.
What are the key technical specifications of the KP9408GDYTA model?
The KP9408GDYTA model offers a tank volume of 52.6 m³, a rated load capacity of 24,600 kg, and a curb weight of 15,400 kg. It is built to transport both Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquid Ethane, with overall dimensions of 13100×2540×3990 mm.
Where are these LNG transport semi-trailers typically utilized?
They are widely used in urban and industrial gas supply chains, serving transport routes between liquid plants, receiving stations, and end-users. Additionally, they are highly effective for industrial and urban gas peak shaving operations.
