ENGINEERED TO ARRIVE

Three layers between the metal and the road.

  1. 1
    The tank316 stainless steel with a wall thicker than 2 mm. Every tank is helium leak-tested before it ships.
  2. 2
    The foamA laser-cut EVA insert gives each tank its own deep pocket, so the tank stands upright and metal never touches metal.
  3. 3
    The caseA riveted aluminum shell with latches, orientation labels and UN Class 4.3 marking for dangerous-when-wet cargo.
