LNG Tank Trailer – Cryogenic Valves & Fittings for Road Transport | Guard Europe BV

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is liquefied at approximately −161 °C. In this cryogenic state, its volume shrinks by up to ~600×, making transport and storage by tank trailer economical and efficient. For these conditions, Guard Europe BV supplies a comprehensive range of cryogenic valves, safety components, and accessories specifically designed for LNG tank trailers and other small-scale LNG applications.

Why Guard Europe for LNG Tank Trailers?

• Cryogenic expertise: components engineered for extreme temperatures and varying operating conditions.

• Safety first: solutions with failsafe features and reliable sealing.

• Fast delivery & customization: ample stock, PCTFE seals, variants, and configurations on request.

• Compatible & service-friendly: weld and flange connections, field service where possible, documentation, and test certificates.
