Who needs a TransFueler?

Mobile fuel trailers are still something not often seen on American roads. Traditionally, mobile refueling has been done via large tanker trucks.


Typically referred to as "wet hosing", these tankers are dispatched to job sites and individually refuel the equipment, vehicles or aircraft as needed.  Not a bad way of doing it, but fuel suppliers normally charge a significant fee for each trip. And you have to make an appointment every time you need refueling. Cumbersome, expensive & inconvenient...

Fast forward to the 21st century, and the state of the art, original TransFueler. 


TransFueler helps your bottom line in several ways:
  • Initial cost. Consider buying your own fuel truck and eliminating the inconvenience of having to schedule every refueling?  Prepare to spend in the range of $350,000, or find a beat up old truck that needs refurbishing for a mere $60k or so.  TransFueler mobile refuelers start at $4,995.00, and top out around $30k. Brand new, fully equipped, your choice of size, options and configurations. 
  • Recurring cost.  Typically, per-trip fees are running about $80 to have a wet-hose truck come to your site.  That's on top of the actual fuel cost. Refueling twice a week? Simply eliminating those charges will pay for a brand new 500 gallon TransFueler in under a year, and the savings then continue forever.
  • Convenience.  Refuel your equipment at your site, at any hour, totally at your convenience.  What's the real value of this? Your crew & equipment keeps working instead of stopping and waiting for a fuel truck to arrive.  These saving only multiply over time.
  • Flexibility. Have equipment at several locations? No need to pay the fuel supplier several trip fees, simply take your TransFueler wherever it needs to refuel your vehicles, equipment or aircraft.  We supply TransFuelers to the largest life flight helicopter companies in the country. They use their TransFuelers to refuel the helicopters at hospital bases, and off site. This saves them thousands of dollars needing to go to local airports to refuel. And if you need their services, you want the helicopter to be fueled and ready, not transiting to an airport to refuel...
Do the math for your situation.  Acquiring a TransFueler WILL save you time, money and hassle.
