Thunder Creek Equipment has announced the expansion of its truck upfit line of fuel and service solutions with the addition of the Class 5 Isuzu NRR truck chassis. This expansion includes both the No HAZMAT Fuel and Service Upfit (MTU) model, as well as the Service and Lube Truck Upfit (SLU) for daily fluids and preventive maintenance.
“The addition of the Isuzu NRR truck chassis to the Thunder Creek family of upfits is engineered to meet customer demand around this very popular commercial truck platform, and to further improve maneuverability and visibility — both on- and off-road,” said Seth Schreur, vice president of engineering, Thunder Creek Equipment. “The success of these truck upfits is built on the ability to deliver fluids to jobsites and customers in a truck that costs significantly less to own and operate than larger, higher-volume trucks. The Isuzu NRR chassis does that and more with best-in-class maneuverability, a heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission, and the proven performance of a turbocharged Isuzu diesel engine.”
The Isuzu NRR truck chassis features a GVWR of 19,500 lbs. and is built sturdy to handle bulk fluid delivery to sites ranging from paved commercial and institutional sites to off-road construction sites. Thunder Creek upfit platforms offer the ability to get in and out of more compact or crowded sites, minimized disturbance and low ground pressure and the ability to deliver critical fluids to each site without requiring a HAZMAT endorsement or a CDL.
The No HAZMAT and no CDL design developed by Thunder Creek has transformed various industries, including construction, equipment rental, dealer service departments, home heating oil delivery, disaster relief operations and widespread fuel distribution networks. Thunder Creek accomplishes this through the design and engineering of each truck to keep bulk fluid quantities below mandated levels while delivering an operator interface that supports fueling and daily fluid delivery.
The No HAZMAT Fuel and Service Upfit (MTU) features a total capacity of 920 gallons of diesel (eight 15-gallon tanks) along with options for DEF, grease and power systems. The Service and Lube Truck Upfit (SLU) features 690 gallons of service fluids configured in 25-, 55- and 115-gallon tanks and can include fresh oil, reclaimed oil, coolant, reclaimed coolant and diesel. Select configurations can also be equipped with DEF and grease.
