With up to 990 gallons of diesel capacity, the trailer helpscrews spend less time waiting on fuel and more time working.

Built for Mobile Fuel Delivery

The EV990 is designed around straightforward field fueling.Its single bulk diesel tank is constructed from 7-gauge steel and includesthree full-height internal baffles. A dual 6,000-pound torsion-axleconfiguration supports transport between jobsites.

Reduce Downtime and Unnecessary Fuel Runs

The EV990 addresses a simple operating problem: equipmentcannot produce while it is waiting for fuel.
