5th Wheel Service Trailer Brings Farm Shop to Field

5thwheelImagine how much time you could save if you had all the tools normally found in a farm shop available right in the field when your equipment needed service. For one new owner of a Thunder Creek Equipment diesel fuel and service trailer, this is now reality.

When a large row crop grower in South Dakota needed a field service solution he turned to the design team at Thunder Creek Equipment. Together, they developed a trailer that would transport all the fluids and tools needed for his operation.

In the end, Thunder Creek Equipment designed a 5th wheel trailer with six separate fluid tanks and eight service compartments. The final trailer configuration included:

  •  990 gallon diesel fuel tank and 40 GPM pumping system
  •  100 gallon diesel exhaust fluid tank and non-corrosive pump
  •  60 gallon antifreeze tank with dual-acting diaphragm pump
  •  60 gallon engine oil tank and pumping system
  •  60 gallon hydraulic oil tank and pump
  •  60 gallon used oil reclamation tank, dual-acting diaphragm “trash” pump, and 4-way valve
  •  Welder, generator, air compressor, and torch
  •  Three tool cabinets and space large tools
  •  A work bench, vice, and hand-operated hoist

This spring, the grower’s operation will run more productively with the ability to bring his shop to the fields. Learn more about this project in the following video:
