Product of the Week - Thunder Creek Equipment FST Series trailers

July 29, 2015
Thunder Creek Equipment offers the new FST Series trailers, available in 500-, 750- and 990-gallon diesel capacities with a 100-gallon DEF tank and an optional field-installed rear utility box.

Thunder Creek Equipment offers the new FST Series trailers, available in 500-, 750- and 990-gallon diesel capacities with a 100-gallon DEF tank and an optional field-installed rear utility box. The rear utility box is 55 percent larger than the company's previous designs and can be installed on any FST Series trailer at any time – allowing owners looking for basic fuel transportation to later build out their own mobile service trailer as their needs evolve. 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, a design meant to make them suitable for traveling both on-road at highway speeds and off-road on large jobsites.

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. Hatch-style doors open to give unrestricted access to the pumping systems, controls and options. All interfaces are now positioned ergonomically at the operator’s natural height.

The fully baffled fuel tanks are now taller, reducing the overall length of the trailer. The front enclosure is narrower for better maneuvering.

Seven-gauge steel and double-welded seams result in a 25-percent stronger frame compared to the company's previous trailers, according to the OEM. Replaceable fenders and a rock guard provide further protection.

FST Series trailers are compliant with ISO 22241 standards to maintain purity. The DEF systems on FST Series trailers now feature:

  • A 100-gallon poly tank nested into the trailer frame for a low center of gravity
  • Higher pump flows
  • Auto shut-off when filling
  • The ability for DEF to freeze in the tank without causing damage
