Fuel Trailers by Thunder Creek

M&G Trailer Sales and Service is proud to carry Thunder Creek fuel trailers at our Minnesota dealership. We recently added this trailer manufacturer to our inventory and we’ve been impressed by the trailers we’ve seen so far. These American-made trailers are relatively new on our lot, so we decided to introduce you to the brand and the family behind it.

The Thunder Creek Family

Loren and Jean Van Wyk established Thunder Creek’s parent company, LDJ Manufacturing, in the mid-90’s. LDJ Manufacturing was started by the Van Wyk family in Pella, Iowa, as a way to support and supplement the family’s farming income. LDJ Manufacturing is the parent of both Thunder Creek Fuel and Service Trailers and DEF Delivery Solutions.

The Van Wyk’s fabrication business quickly became known in the heartland for their high-quality steel fabrication and design. As LDJ Manufacturing grew it became the family’s main source of income. Loren and Jean serve as the company’s president and vice president. Their eldest sons, Luke and Chad, are the Sales Manager and Operations Manager. The Van Wyks are proud of the trailers they make, and their family works together every day to ensure that the trailers they produce are the best they can be.

About Fuel Trailers

Fuel trailers are exactly what they sound like: enclosed trailers for storing and transporting fuel and other liquids. They normally come with a fuel hose, nozzle and pump to make it easier to move liquid in and out of the trailer. Most people use fuel trailers to save both time and money. They can reduce trips to the gas station and make it easy to bring fuel to your heavy machinery, rather than the other way around. They’re also convenient if you need to stock up on fuel before a natural disaster. Whether your machinery is a fleet of cars, a plane on the airfield, or large farming equipment, a new fuel trailer could help make your work easier.

Why Choose Thunder Creek Trailers?

Thunder Creek trailers provide a solution to farmers and other laborers who need to easily transport fuel, grease, coolant and other regulated substances. These multi-tank oil trailers provide bulk diesel capacity yet legally avoid the need for the driver to have hazmat endorsement and a Class A license in most cases. These trailers are often used to transport diesel, DEF, oil, grease, coolant and more.

The steel construction of these trailers helps them hold up over many years of transport. Additionally, their smart design makes it safer to tow while avoiding legal restrictions. You can carry multiple fluids at once with the multi-tank design in some of the larger models.

At M&G Trailers, we carry multiple Thunder Creek fuel trailer models. If you’re not sure which one you need, our team is here to help. Talk with us about what you’ll use your fuel trailer for and we’ll help you choose the one that makes the most sense for you.
