Thunder Creek Expands Equipment Lineup with New Truck Skids
Pella, IA – Thunder Creek Equipment, the premier provider of No HAZMAT, No CDL fuel and preventative maintenance solutions for the construction industry has announced the launch of two new jobsite solutions designed to support modern fueling and PM workflows: The Diesel Pickup Skid (DPS) and Lube Pickup Skid (LPS). Together these products expand an already comprehensive lineup of solutions built to improve jobsite efficiency, protect equipment uptime, and streamline compliance. The DPS and LPS round out the company’s skid offerings alongside recently released higher capacity fuel and lube skids, including the Multi-Tank Diesel Skid (MTS), Multi-Tank Oil Skid (MTOS), and Service and Lube Skid (SLS).
Across construction and infrastructure jobsites, contractors and fleet managers continue to face labor constraints, growing compliance complexity, and increasing pressure to reduce downtime. Fueling, DEF handling, and routine maintenance are essential daily tasks, yet they often pull equipment and crews away from productive work. No HAZMAT, no CDL solutions remove unnecessary barriers, allowing more flexibility in who can perform these tasks and where they can be completed. The development of these ultra-flexible skid products directly reflects those operational realities.
Both the DPS and LPS offer a total capacity of 230 gallons and are designed for flexible deployment, with integrated fork pockets and mounting options that include a pickup or service truck bed, flatbed truck or trailer, or stationary placement.
ABOUT THUNDER CREEK'S NEW TRUCK SKIDS
THE DIESEL PICKUP SKID
The DPS features two 115 gallon diesel tanks for a total 230 gallons fuel capacity plus a built-in 25 gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system. It is designed to support on-site fueling and DEF handling in environments where quick access, flexibility, and compliance matter. It empowers operations to take more control of their fueling operations with:
- A fueling solution that doesn’t require special licensing or endorsements
- Fast, convenient access to fuel where the equipment is working
- Increased control over fueling schedules
THE LUBE PICKUP SKID
The LPS supports preventative maintenance in the field with a total fluid capacity of 230 gallons, capable of housing up to 4 fluid systems in 55 or 115 gallon tanks. Compatible fluids include oils, coolant, reclaim, and top-off diesel. By integrating routine PM into the daily workflow, this solution helps crews:
- Perform maintenance more consistently
- Minimize avoidable delays
- Reduce downtime tied to service logistics
THUNDER CREEK'S GROWING EQUIPMENT LINEUP
The full line of Thunder Creek skids extend fueling and lube capability into situations where a dedicated trailer or truck upfit isn’t the right operational fit, adding modular fuel and service capability that integrates with existing transportation assets.
With the addition of the skids, Thunder Creek now offers contractors and fleet managers a broader range of ways to bring fuel and preventative maintenance directly to the work. Whether deployed on a pickup, service truck, trailer, or as a stationary solution, the company’s expanding lineup continues to focus on a single goal: helping crews keep equipment fueled, serviced, and working where the job happens.
“Our product development is driven by the challenges our customers face on real jobsites,” said Larry Lea, Vice President of Sales for Thunder Creek Equipment. “The DPS and LPS are built around the need for flexible, mobile access to fuel and maintenance fluids. By continuing to expand the Thunder Creek platform, we’re giving contractors more ways to adapt fueling and PM to the way their operations actually run.”
