Thunder Creek Equipment diesel fuel and service trailers are made by LDJ Manufacturing, Inc, a family-owned business located in Pella, Iowa.  

LDJ Manufacturing started 16 years ago when Loren and Jean Van Wyk opened a small fabrication business to supplement the family's farming income.  The business quickly became known for uncompromised quality in steel fabrication and turned into a full-time endeavor.

As the President, Loren leads LDJ while using his God-given talent for developing new solutions.  Most days you'll find him in the factory figuring out yet another way the Thunder Creek Equipment trailers can make your operation more productive.  His wife, Jean, provides leadership and direction as the company's Vice President.

The business operation extends to the next generation of the Van Wyk family.  The eldest of Loren and Jean's five children, sons Luke and Chad, are the company's General Manager and Manufacturing Manager, respectively.

"We are proud of the products we build," says General Manager Luke Van Wyk. "Here at LDJ we bring integrity, reliability, and ingenuity to the manufacture, sales, and support of our products."

"Our production staff is world class," he adds.  "They turn out rugged fuel and service trailers that can keep up with the demands of a hard days work.  Our customers are served by a team of sales, marketing and administrative professionals that is second to none."
