Take the fuel to the machines, not the machines to the fuel. We build diesel bowser trailers in steel from 600L to 5000L and in polyethylene from 600L to 2500L for mines, construction sites, and plant-hire fleets, with a 12V electric or hand pump to suit how you refuel.
Every trip to the fuel station is time your excavators, TLBs and generators aren't working. Our diesel tanker trailers take the fuel to where the machines are, so you refuel on site and get straight back to work. Choose a steel tank from 600L to 5000L, or a lighter polyethylene tank from 600L to 2500L, with a 12V pump or a hand pump. A flow meter is available as an option, so you can track every litre. Each tanker is built in our Gauteng workshop and ready in about 10 working days.
Our most compact diesel bowser, easy to tow behind a bakkie and small enough for tight site access. A practical choice for smaller fleets and private buyers. Available in polyethylene or steel.
A versatile mid-size tanker with single or double axle, so you can match it to your towing vehicle and load. Available in polyethylene or steel.
A steel-only size that sits between the 1000L and 1500L, for when you need a little more fuel on site without stepping up a full size.
A popular size for contractors and plant-hire fleets that need reliable diesel on site every day, with a braked double-axle setup. Available in polyethylene or steel.
Higher-volume steel tanker for busy sites, with a braked double axle and a high-flow 110 L/min pump.
Heavy-duty tanker for long days in the field. Available in polyethylene for rough roads or steel with baffle plates for a steadier tow.
Our largest road-going steel tanker, built for commercial and industrial fuel logistics and daily towing.
A high-volume steel tanker for fuel supply at a fixed site, fitted with a 7.5-tonne low-speed axle.
Keep excavators, TLBs, and generators running without sending them off site to fill up. A tanker on the back of a bakkie means less downtime and fewer wasted trips.
Most mines choose our steel tankers. The heavier build and internal baffle plates keep the load steady on haul roads and stand up to daily use.
Need diesel where your equipment works? A smaller polyethylene bowser is affordable, easy to tow, and handles bad roads well.
The lighter, more affordable choice. Polyethylene tanks suit very bad roads and are a good fit when you need dependable fuel on site without the extra weight. Polyethylene tanks don't have baffle plates.
Sizes: 600L, 1000L, 1500L, 2500L
The choice most mines prefer. Steel tanks are heavier and have baffle plates inside the tank to control fuel movement while you tow, so the trailer feels steadier on the road.
Sizes: 600L, 1000L, 1200L, 1500L, 2000L, 2500L, 3000L, 5000L (site use only)
Also available in 3CR12 stainless steel. Ask us about it when you request your quote.

Most of our diesel tankers go out with a 12V electric pump, so refuelling is quick and simple. Choose the setup that suits your work:
Most trailers leave our Muldersdrift workshop about 10 working days after the spec is confirmed. If your job can't wait, tell us when you need it. We can often build sooner.
Yes. Every LF Trailers road trailer is supplied with a data plate and VIN so it can be registered on NATIS for public roads. The only exception is the 5000L diesel site tanker, which is built for use on site only and doesn't come with registration papers.
About 10 working days per trailer once the spec is confirmed, and sooner when the job needs it.
