Gardner Cryogenic Road Tanker – EU class O4 tank trailer for liquefied cryogenic gases: 35,000 kg gross weight, 8,740 kg payload, built in 2010.
With a gross weight of 35,000 kg, the Gardner Cryogenic Road Tanker falls well within EU trailer class O4. The model name itself states the body type: a tank trailer for liquefied cryogenic gases, with a double-walled, vacuum-insulated tank of the kind used to carry liquefied nitrogen, oxygen, argon or carbon dioxide.

With an unladen weight of 26,260 kg, payload comes to only 8,740 kg, a low share for this weight class. The vacuum-insulated tank construction itself accounts for a substantial part of the unladen weight before any cargo is on board. At 13.60 m long, 2.54 m wide and with a 9.38 m wheelbase, the tanker sits on a long, multi-axle chassis.
As an O4 tank trailer, the Cryogenic Road Tanker runs with air brakes and usually with air suspension. Carrying liquefied cryogenic gases also brings the ADR rules for dangerous goods transport into play, including special marking and driver training. Towing it as a combination requires driving licence category CE.
When buying a used cryogenic tank trailer, the insulation takes centre stage: vacuum level and insulation performance can only be assessed through a specialist check by the manufacturer or an approved workshop, while visible condensation or unusual icing on the outer shell points to a loss of insulation. Also check safety valves, pressure gauges and connection fittings for function and inspection dates, and check the chassis and brakes for the usual wear.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
