But how can these trailers save your business time and money, while maximising efficiency and productivity?
1. Ultra portable
The trailers are designed and built to be taken everywhere and anywhere, with manoeuvrability and handling in mind. The premise behind the heavy duty bunded trailers is to be able to bring the fuel to your equipment, rather than bring your equipment to the fuel. This saves not only time and money, but allows you to operate efficiently and productively in remote locations not easily accessible by other refuelling processes.
2. Versatile
Whilst the PETRO fuel trailers are portable, they are also versatile. As well as being a fully mobile fuel source, they can be used as a static fuel cell to power equipment such as Diesel Generators or Lighting Towers. Rear drop down supports for trailer stability when the trailer is not connected to a vehicle, are just one of the many design features that accommodate this type of use. The applications for this serious piece of kit are really endless!
3. Compatible
Whilst service bodies have their place in the commercial refuelling game, they do have their limitations in terms of interchangeability. When the service truck is out-of-action, so is the service body. This is where the PETRO's Bunded Fuel trailers really come into their own, they do not depend on a single vehicle. They can be moved by any suitably rated tow vehicle in your fleet, the 1250L can even be moved (at full capacity) without the need for an electronic brake controller.
4. Standalone
The Self Bunded trailers are a true standalone mobile refuelling solution. With all solar-powered dispensing equipment stored onboard, equipment refuelling becomes simple, easy and fast. This allows you to allocate manpower where you need it most, as refuelling becomes a one man job!
5. Custom
These trailers can be tailored to suit your business. We have a range of products which we build to the specifications outlined by our customers, this is one of them. Whether the trailer needs to be built for a specific application, or to meet a specific requirement, PETRO has you covered. There is no other more versatile, innovative mobile refuelling solution on the market.
6. Durable
PETRO's Australian engineered trailers are built to stand the test of time, even in the harsh environmental conditions we live in. We believe the trailers are built to be bought once and maintained, they are not disposable. The design features a dual axle configuration, fully hot dip galvanised frame, heavy duty running gear, tow-ball hitch assembly, mechanical over ride brakes, safety chain assembly, heavy duty swing away jockey wheel and stainless Steel Roller Bars.
You can rest with the peace of mind that you know your fuel trailer is reliable, of premium quality, and will get the job done when it matters the most (Even when fully loaded). They are designed to put up with the worst the mobile refuelling can throw at them!
7. Popularity
These trailers no only add value to your business by boosting productivity and efficiency, they are also a valuable commodity! Extremely popular in the rental market, it is extremely difficult to hire a self bunded fuel trailer. So why not know you'll always have one when you need it! On the flip side, enable your business to satisfy the evident demand by adding a PETRO Heavy Duty Self Bunded Fuel Trailer to you rental fleet!
Helping Transform a New Retirement Village into a Welcoming Community
As construction nears completion, extensive landscaping is often the final step in transforming a new development into a welcoming community. In this representative project scenario, a commercial landscaping contractor was tasked with completing gardens, communal spaces and surrounding grounds across a large retirement village. With multiple crews and diesel-powered machines working throughout the site, reliable access to fuel was essential. PETRO Hire provided a flexible on-site diesel storage and fuel-management solution, helping keep equipment fuelled, crews productive and the landscaping program moving toward completion.
Major infrastructure projects need reliable fuel without the cost and commitment of permanent infrastructure. In this representative water pipeline project, PETRO Hire provided two 4,500-litre self-bunded PC Cube tanks, delivering 9,000 litres of secure on-site fuel storage for heavy construction equipment. The flexible, relocatable solution kept machinery fuelled, reduced downtime and adapted to changing site requirements—demonstrating how PETRO Hire can scale fuel infrastructure as your project grows, changes and progresses.
Purpose-Built Pumping and Temperature Control for a Two-Year Hire
When specialised products require precise storage, temperature management and controlled transfer, a standard tank-and-pump solution may not be enough. In this project, PETRO Hire was approached to provide a 12,000L LT Tank for the storage and transfer of temperature-sensitive emulsion over an initial two-year hire period. Rather than supplying off-the-shelf equipment, PETRO engineered a purpose-built package incorporating customised pumping equipment, insulated and lagged pipework, integrated controls and protected service infrastructure—delivering a complete storage and transfer solution designed specifically around the customer’s process.
