Compressed Gas Tube Trailers for Safe High-Pressure Transport

Compressed gas tube trailers comply with international regulations such as DOT, ADR and ISO 11120. The tubes are classified as critical pressure equipment and are engineered to withstand pressures well above normal operating conditions, ensuring robust safety margins for the transport and storage of pressurized gases.

Safety is based on a multilayered design philosophy combining mechanical strength, redundancy and active protection. Each tube is treated as an independent high-pressure vessel, limiting risk and improving containment under all operating conditions.

Key safety features include:

• Individual valves per tube to limit gas release and create multiple containment barriers
• Check valves and burst discs (PRD) for effective overpressure and reverse-flow protection
• Hydrostatic testing, fatigue analysis and periodic recertification throughout the equipment lifecycle
• Optional digital monitoring systems for real-time traceability and operational control

This comprehensive approach ensures maximum safety across the entire transport and storage lifecycle, even for demanding applications involving hydrogen and other high-pressure gases.

As the hydrogen economy accelerates, logistics is increasingly becoming the bottleneck, often even before production capacity. Electrolyzers, refueling stations and industrial users are widely dispersed, operate at variable loads, and frequently lack access to pipeline infrastructure. In this context, compressed gas tube trailers play a critical role by ensuring frequent, reliable and flexible transport of hydrogen wherever it is needed.

Innovation in this field is driven by lightweight composite materials, improved fatigue resistance and advanced digital traceability systems. These developments increase payload, reduce emissions per delivered kilogram of gas, and enhance operational visibility. Above all, tube trailers offer unmatched ease of access and deployment: they require no fixed infrastructure on site and can rapidly connect supply and demand. This flexibility makes them the fastest and most effective solution for hydrogen distribution, particularly during early market phases and pilot mobility projects, supporting the transition toward low-carbon energy systems.
