Anyone using a Thunder Creek fuel or lube trailer?
https://thundercreek.com/
Considering a fuel and lube/service type setup with diesel, engine oil, hydraulic oil and waste oil. The trailer would be used more for 250, 500, 1000 HR services and I want to carry diesel and grease as well.
Currently running a 1999 4700 ex-welding supply truck that is set up with engine oil, waste oil, diesel, grease, welder and tool boxes. It's a great truck but the insurance and tags run around $4K a year and it's fitted with a Dt466 with a 5sp manual which puts it's top speed around 60 MPH on the Interstate. Not the most pleasant truck to drive around the city.
These trailers configured the way I'm looking at would be around $30-40K and could be pulled with our pickups.
Looking at a setup like this -
2 EA 110 gal diesel tanks
1 EA 55 gal engine oil
1 EA 55 gal hydro
1 EA 110 gal waste oil
1 EA 100 gallon DEF
1 EA Air compressor, generator, welder combo
1 EA tool chest
The way I read the spec's on their website that set up could be put on a 10K GVW trailer, be under the hazmat regulations and we could put it behind a dually pickup with no CDL in Alabama.
Looking for an easier way to do PM's in the field and supply fuel at more than 90 gallons at time to distant jobs.
