Rawhide small trailers are made with an aluminum inner tube wrapped in carbon fiber providing an excellent strength to weight ratio.  The tube skids can be shipped as skids or mounted in a two axel trailer.  Gross weight when loaded can be from 6 to 10,000 lbs depending on the type of gas and ill pressure.  All tube modules are fully DOT compliant.  This package makes an excellent portable fueling station for CNG.

Rawhide large trailers are typically 8 tube to assure not exceeding highway weight limits. Higher capacity trailers are available on requests. If it is not in the fleet we can custom build to meet your needs. When used with CNG we find there is a need for compression and regulation equipment. Rawhide can handle your requirements including turnkey gas management.
