About Propane Tank Trucks

When you need to transport liquid propane (LP) over long distances, haul it regionally, or make a series of shorter local deliveries, heavy-duty propane tank trucks are the vehicles you’re looking for. Propane is a highly versatile gas that is widely used for cooking, heating homes, and powering vehicles with specially adapted engines. For transport purposes, it must be held at specific pressures and temperatures in order to maintain its liquid form, which requires a special tank.

Capacities & Features

The most common propane tank trucks you’ll find for sale at TruckPaper.com have tank capacities in the 2,500- to 3,500-gallon (9,500- to 13,250-liter) range, although you will find some models that offer capacities in excess of 5,000 gal (19,000 L). Depending on the size of the tank, LPG tank trucks typically come in single-axle, two-axle bobtail, or three-axle configurations.

In addition to needing a pressurized tank that can transport gas in liquid form, there are other standards a truck must meet in order to haul propane over the road. Some manufacturers offer vehicles with components certified by the National Fire Protection Association to minimize the risk of incidents involving their highly flammable cargo. The Department of Transportation requires the use of warning labels on tank trucks carrying propane. Many LP tank trucks come with safety packages that include the necessary DOT decals and additional equipment such as fire extinguishers, reflector kits, and more.
