Tube-trailer for biomethane transport
Engineered around UMOE type-4 cylinders — lighter, lower-profile, and more cost-effective than steel type-1 alternatives.
The product
A new benchmark for biomethane road transport
Gaznet’s tube-trailer is the latest evolution in biomethane transport — built around UMOE type-4 cylinders to combine the efficiency, durability, and cost profile that customers ask for. Versus traditional steel type-1 cylinder trailers, our tube-trailer is significantly lighter and has a lower overall profile, making it more compact and more agile on the road.
The tradeoff is balanced. Steel type-1 trailers can carry slightly larger maximum volumes — but the type-4 tube-trailer’s payload meets the requirements of most applications, at a competitive price point and with substantially better fuel economy.
