Tandem 520 | Agile Hydrogen Transport & Storage Solutions

The High-Pressure Bridge for Precision Hydrogen Logistics

Engineered for operators who require high-pressure hydrogen capacity.

The Tandem 520 is engineered for operators who require high-pressure hydrogen capacity without sacrificing site maneuverability. Designed specifically to navigate the tight footprints of urban transit depots, busy ports, and industrial sites, the Tandem 520 serves as the critical "last-mile" link in the hydrogen supply chain.

As North America’s leader in high-pressure equipment leasing, GTL Leasing offers the Tandem 520 as a deployable infrastructure solution. It allows transit agencies and fleet managers to bypass the logistical headaches of standard full-sized trailers while maintaining the high-density storage required for professional fueling operations.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

The Tandem 520 leverages advanced materials and a specialized chassis design to deliver high-performance hydrogen storage in a compact package.

  • 500 Bar (7,250 PSIG) Operating Pressure: Optimized for high-density H2 storage, the Tandem 520 carries more fuel in less space, ensuring your fleet gets a complete fill even during back-to-back dispensing cycles.

  • Lightweight Type III Composite Cylinders: Utilizing aluminum-lined, carbon-fiber-wrapped cylinders, the Tandem 520 offers a superior payload-to-weight ratio. This reduces towing requirements and lowers the carbon intensity of the transport logistics themselves.

  • Maneuverable Tandem-Axle Design: Unlike traditional 53-foot tube trailers, the Tandem 520 is designed for agility. Its shorter wheelbase allows it to access tight loading docks, corner spots in bus depots, and congested port terminals.

  • High-Integrity Welded Manifolds: We eliminate thousands of potential leak paths by utilizing welded manifold connections instead of standard threaded fittings, ensuring maximum uptime and safety in high-pressure service.

  • Remote Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Every unit is equipped with a sophisticated Remote ESD system, providing operators with total control to isolate the gas supply instantly from a safe distance.

Strategic Hydrogen Applications

The Tandem 520 is the ideal asset for projects where site access is limited but pressure requirements are high:

  • Transit & Municipal Fleet Pilots: The premier choice for agencies testing hydrogen fuel cell buses. It provides a reliable fuel source that fits easily within existing maintenance yards.

  • Port & Intermodal Drayage: Supplies a steady stream of high-pressure H2 for yard trucks and drayage vehicles, allowing for rapid deployment in busy shipping corridors.

  • Interim Refueling Infrastructure: Acts as a bridge solution during the construction of permanent hydrogen stations, ensuring your zero-emission fleet stays operational without delay.

  • Mobile Research & Benchmarking: Perfect for technology providers and researchers conducting real-world benchmarking and vehicle demonstration tours across multiple locations.
