Thunder Creek Introduces Lube Pickup Skid
BY AsphaltPro Staff
Thunder Creek Equipment, Pella, Iowa, launched two new job site solutions designed to support modern fueling and preventive maintenance workflows during CONEXPO-CON/AGG: the Diesel Pickup Skid (DPS) and Lube Pickup Skid (LPS). Across construction and infrastructure job sites, contractors and fleet managers continue to face labor constraints, growing compliance complexity, and increasing pressure to reduce downtime. Fueling, diesel exhaust fluid (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 barriers, allowing more flexibility in who can perform these tasks and where they can be completed. 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 standard pickup bed, a flatbed truck or trailer, or stationary placement.
This month, let’s look at the LPS, which supports preventive maintenance in the field with a total fluid capacity of 230 gallons. It is capable of housing up to four fluid systems in 55- or 115-gallon tanks. Compatible fluids include oils, coolant, reclaim and top-off diesel. By integrating routine preventive maintenance into the daily workflow, this solution helps crews:
- Perform maintenance more consistently
- Minimize avoidable delays
- Reduce downtime tied to service logistics
