The AL/081/08 comes from M1 Engineering. Production: 2012. The machine is 11,550 mm long and 2,530 mm wide. The unladen weight is 8,300 kg. The wheelbase measures 8,050 mm. Top speed is 100 km/h. The gross vehicle weight is 35,000 kg. The machine runs on 6 wheels. Unladen weight across the M1 Engineering range ranges from 7,620 to 8,520 kg; the AL/081/08 sits in the upper part of that range with 8,300 kg. Its immediate neighbours are the CRYOGENIC ALU ROAD TANKER below it with 7,620 kg and the AL/169/16 above it with 8,520 kg. Gross vehicle weight across the M1 Engineering range ranges from 35,000 to 42,000 kg; here the AL/081/08 sits at the bottom of that range with 35,000 kg. 3 M1 Engineering models are on record.

M1 Engineering – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the Cryogenic Alu Road Tanker and the AL series, unladen weights from 7,620 to 8,520 kg, gross weights from 35,000 to 42,000 kg

This page gathers the M1 Engineering trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The model name Cryogenic Alu Road Tanker states the build directly: an aluminium tank semi-trailer for deeply cooled liquefied gases, as carried in industrial gas supply; the AL/081/08 and AL/169/16 types belong to the same aluminium tank range.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 7,620 to 8,520 kg, gross weights from 35,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 11,500 to 13,110 mm and widths from 2,530 to 2,550 mm.

Cryogenic tank semi-trailers supply industrial plants, hospitals and building sites with liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen or liquid argon; the aluminium build lowers unladen weight compared with steel tanks and so raises the permitted payload at the same combination gross weight. Operating such tanks requires ADR approval and trained drivers, since this counts as the carriage of dangerous goods.

On a used cryogenic tanker, the test history of the pressure vessel and safety valves, the condition of the vacuum or perlite insulation, the tightness of fittings and valves, and the chassis, axles and brakes all count above all; missing tank test documentation is a reason to walk away. The ADR markings and the paperwork for the carriage of dangerous goods should also be checked before buying.

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.
