Towable Tank and Trailer is
a Mobile Fueling Station
Thunder Creek Equipment developed a
double-wall fuel tank and trailer combination that is compliant with the EPA's SPCC
Program as well as DOT406 and Transport
Canada regulations. The double wall tank
design provides 110% fuel containment
with a 990-gal. fuel tank mounted inside a
protective secondary tank. The pumping
system, fill ports and vents are also located
within the secondary tank, thereby securing
the fuel supply behind two lockable, hatchstyle doors. Used alone, the tank is a
secure, on-site solution for storing and dispensing fuel. Used in conjunction with a
trailer base also available from Thunder
Creek, it becomes a mobile fueling station.
Features like four fuel surge baffles, a
rugged 8-in. C-channel chassis and torsion
axles streamline transporting fuel between
job sites. The utility of the double wall tank
and trailer can be extended with a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) delivery system. The
system incorporates an ISO 22241 compliant DEF tank and a patent-pending 2-in-1
pumping system.

Tire Monitor System
Provides Real-time Results
Bridgestone Commercial Solutions has
launched its B-TAG Intelligent Tag system
that monitors tire pressure and temperature, and reports the data in real time. In
operation, B-TAG hardware is installed on
the vehicle, data is sent from sensors in the
tire to the onboard system in the vehicle,
and then may be forwarded to the mine
dispatch system, a B-TAG handheld reader
or downloaded directly for analysis. Mine
operators not only can see data in real time
to make immediate decisions, but data can
also be compiled to identify pressure
trends or assess and adjust operating conditions for more long-term solutions. BTAG can be installed by a Bridgestone
engineer or authorized servicing dealer.
Once the system is installed, Bridgestone
support staff can provide training on how to
download and interpret data and provide
expert consultation.
