TRANSPORTING FUEL TRUCKS
WITH HEAVY HAULERS

Fuel or Lube Truck Towing

The Fuel truck, also known as a lube truck, is one of a variety of vehicles designed to carry liquid cargo for refueling fleets, mobile equipment and heavy duty trucks. Typical fuel trucks carry between 1,000-1,500 gallons of liquid, although some are equipped to handle more than 2,500 gallons. Increasingly, 'full-service" vehicles have the capacity to carry a variety of different substances at once, including gear lubricant and hydraulic fluid.

There are many different styles of fuel trucks; the main difference between them is the level of enclosure. Some styles of lube trucks include:

 ● Completely open

 ● Completely closed

 ● Open with enclosed hose-reel compartment

The style you choose may depend on the climate of an area and the condition of the jobsite—how much dust they are typically exposed to, for example.
