Cryogenic Road Tankers

The virtual pipeline — supervacuum tankers built to survive the Australian outback.

Road Tankers

AMG's specialised cryogenic road tankers are engineered for Australian road conditions with enhanced stability and durability. Complying with the ADG Code and AS 2809, they offer robust pressure-vessel design for superior operational safety.

Our double-wall, ultra-vacuum insulation system is a game changer — eliminating the perlite settlement and gas boil-off that plague imported trailers. Paired with Australian-designed and built running gear, our 55kL LNG semi-trailers survive the Pilbara like no other and have become the benchmark in the sector.

Key features

  • Double-wall ultra-vacuum insulation (no perlite)
  • Australian-built running gear and suspension
  • 55kL LNG, LPG and LCO₂ configurations
  • Optimised payload within regulatory limits
  • Integrated, near-seamless unloading
  • Standard package deliverable in ~6 months

Typical applications

  • LNG and LPG delivery to off-grid mines
  • LCO₂ distribution
  • Anhydrous ammonia transport
  • Virtual-pipeline gas supply

Case study · Woodside & EDL — 55kL supervacuum LNG road tankers

Woodside and EDL needed a more durable LNG trailer fleet after repeated running-gear and perlite insulation failures on imported units. AMG's double-wall ultra-vacuum design and Australian-built running gear eliminated both problems. Repeat orders followed, and the design has since been refined into the industry benchmark now used by other major operators.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest LNG road tanker AMG supplies?

Our LNG semi-trailers go up to 55kL, engineered to deliver optimum payload within Australian regulatory and safety limits.

Why does AMG avoid perlite insulation on road tankers?

Perlite settles under the constant vibration of road transport. As it settles it leaves the upper surface of the inner vessel progressively less insulated, which drives boil-off up and hold time down over the life of the trailer. Our double-wall ultra-vacuum system removes that failure mode entirely — this was the specific problem Woodside and EDL brought to us.

How long does delivery take?

A standard package is deliverable in approximately six months from order. Non-standard configurations depend on scope.

Are the tankers suitable for Pilbara and remote outback operation?

That is precisely what they were designed for. Imported trailers were failing on Australian conditions, so we developed Australian-designed and fabricated running gear and suspension. Our clients' fleets have proven the design across sustained remote operation.

Which commodities can be carried?

LNG, LPG and LCO₂ are standard configurations, and we also build for anhydrous ammonia service. All units comply with AS 2809 and the ADG Code.
