Thunder Creek Equipment, Pella, Iowa, has introduced its new FST Series trailers available in 500-, 750- and 990-gallon diesel capacities with a 100-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank and an optional field-installed rear utility box. The FST Series combines the company’s fuel, DEF and service transportation technologies into a single design while retaining its focus on craftsmanship with heavy gauge steel, patented and patent pending designs as well as premium options that allow contractors to spec each trailer to meet the demands of their work, Thunder Creek Equipment says.
The company notes the optional rear utility box is 55 percent larger than previous designs and can be installed on any FST Series trailer, allowing owners looking for basic fuel transportation to later build out their own mobile service trailer as their needs evolve. Additional options include a three-in-one welder/generator/air compressor, an auxiliary oil tank, a Worksight light tower and a Field Max tire kit.
All Thunder Creek trailers are built with a low profile and baffled fuel tanks, making them suitable for traveling both on-road at highway speeds and off-road on large job sites, according to the company.
In addition to these features, the FST Series includes:
Expanded space—With more than double the capacity for tools and storage, FST Series trailers have 75 cubic feet of space in the front and pump enclosures, and an additional 60 cubic feet in the optional rear utility box that can outfitted at the time of purchase or field-installed at a later date.
Better access—Hatch-style doors open to give unrestricted access to the pumping systems, controls and options.
More towable—The fully baffled fuel tanks are now taller, which reduces the overall length of the trailer. The front enclosure is narrower for better maneuvering. This makes for one of the most towable trailers on the market today.
Tougher—With seven gauge steel and double-welded seams, the FST Series trailers are built to withstand continual off-road use in environments ranging from oil and gas pipelines to road construction. Replaceable fenders and a rock guard provide protection from rock chips and damage over the life of the trailer, the company says.
Improved DEF handling—The exclusive, closed-loop DEF delivery system with patent pending two-in-one DEF pumping system is one of the most reliable and contamination-free methods of delivering DEF to off-highway equipment, according to the company. FST Series trailers are compliant with ISO 22241 standards to maintain purity.
