Fuel & Service Trailers.

Self bunded fuel and service trailers built for transporting and dispensing diesel, petrol, aviation fuel and multi-compartment fluid loads across construction, mining, fleet and remote site operations. Every unit is approved to AS1692, AS1940 and the Australian Dangerous Goods Code. Drawbar pump bays, tow-and-leave rear connections and lightweight aluminium chassis are standard across the range. Built in Australia, supplied into 150+ fleets nationally.

FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • What is a self-bunded fuel trailer?

    A self-bunded fuel trailer carries fuel inside a double-walled tank, with the outer wall acting as a built-in spill containment bund sized to 110 percent of the inner tank volume. The construction satisfies AS1940 for above-ground fuel storage and AS1692 for tank design, which is the baseline most construction sites, mines and councils require for on-site refuelling.

  • Do I need a special licence to tow one?

    Towing rights are set by the trailer's Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) and your driver's licence class. Most trailers in this range sit under 4,500 kg GTM so they're towed on a standard car licence, but the larger multi-compartment builds can push into LR or MR territory once loaded. Each product page lists the unladen and fully-loaded weights so you can match it to your fleet and driver pool.

  • Can I dispense fuel from it on a job site?

    Yes. Every unit ships with a drawbar pump bay and a tow-and-leave rear connection, so the trailer can be uncoupled at the work area and used as a stationary refuelling station. Standard kits include a 12 V or 240 V transfer pump, filtered automatic nozzle, 4 m hose and breakaway coupling. Typical flow rates are 60 to 80 L/min for diesel and 40 to 60 L/min for petrol.

  • Are these compliant with the Australian Dangerous Goods Code?

    Yes. The range is built to AS1692, AS1940 and ADG7.9 (the current Australian Dangerous Goods Code edition), with placarding and chassis-mounted ID plates ready for transport inspection. We supply the declaration of compliance and tank test certificate on request, which is what most council tenders, principal contractors and mining site inductions ask to see.

  • Can I carry diesel and petrol in the same trailer?

    Yes. The multi-compartment builds split a single tank into two or three isolated chambers, each with its own dipstick, fill point, dispense pump and meter. Common combinations are diesel plus petrol for mixed plant, or diesel plus AdBlue for late-model truck fleets. Cross-contamination isn't possible because the chambers are fully partitioned. We spec the chamber sizing to your usage when you brief us.

  • What are the lead times and how is delivery handled?

    Standard stock builds dispatch from our Brisbane distribution centre in 5 to 10 business days. Custom builds (multi-compartment, integrated metering, fleet decals, alternate pump packages) usually run 4 to 8 weeks depending on the spec. Trailers ship Australia-wide on dedicated transport. We confirm the build timeline and delivered freight in writing before any deposit.

How to spec a fuel or service trailer

A fuel trailer earns its keep by removing the daily run to the bowser. Sized correctly, one unit replaces a forklift, a pallet of jerry cans and three crew trips per day, paying itself off inside a season on most construction and mining sites. Sized wrong, it's an expensive paperweight that needs a 6x4 tow vehicle just to move empty.

1. Match tank size to daily fuel burn

Start with the litres your plant consumes in a typical week, then size the trailer to cover four working days. That leaves a one-day buffer for delivery delays without forcing crews to walk off a face. Most mid-size civil sites land at a 1,000 to 2,200 L tank. Larger mine and quarry fleets often run two 4,400 L trailers in rotation so refuelling never blocks the working zone.

2. Decide single vs multi-compartment

Single-compartment builds are simpler to maintain, lighter empty and cheaper up front. Multi-compartment builds split the same volume across two or three isolated chambers, each with its own pump and meter. That's the practical answer when a mixed fleet runs diesel plant, petrol generators and AdBlue trucks off the one trailer. Each chamber gets its own dipstick and fill point so cross-contamination isn't possible.

3. Choose the right pump and nozzle package

Pump flow rate sets your refuelling speed. 60 L/min diesel pumps suit utes, light trucks and small plant. 80 L/min pumps shave minutes off filling earthmoving plant. Petrol pumps run a tighter spec (anti-static reels, vapour-recovery nozzles where required) so don't share a petrol pump with a diesel circuit. Filtered nozzles and inline water separators are cheap insurance against injector failures.

4. Compliance, plates and paperwork

Above-ground bulk fuel storage in Australia is governed by AS1940 (fire and spill containment), AS1692 (tank construction) and the Australian Dangerous Goods Code 7.9 (transport). Self-bunded construction satisfies the bund requirement without a separate concrete pad. Each trailer ships with chassis-mounted ID plates, placarding ready for transport, and a declaration of compliance. That's the package most councils, principal contractors and mining operators expect during site induction.

5. Plan delivery, registration and service

Standard builds dispatch from our Brisbane warehouse in 5 to 10 business days. Custom multi-compartment builds run 4 to 8 weeks. Registration is straightforward in QLD, NSW, VIC and SA. We supply the build plate, weight ticket and ATM declaration the transport department needs. First-year service is included on every build, and we run authorised in-house repairs nationally for the pump packages we supply.
