Contractor Solutions Adds Thunder Creek to Specialty Sales and Rental Business for Underground Construction
Contractor Solutions has added Thunder Creek to its dedicated rental and new equipment sales lineup for the underground construction industry. The company — serving utility contractors and other businesses in Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Neb.; Tulsa, Okla.; Kansas City and St. Louis — will carry Thunder Creek’s lineup of No-HAZMAT fuel and service solutions.
Thunder Creek designs and manufactures innovative, premium fueling and preventive maintenance solutions that are used in a variety of industries including construction, roadbuilding, oil and gas, and utility construction. This includes the original, industry-leading, No-HAZMAT Fuel & Service Trailer; the multi-tank oil trailer; service and lube trailer; its medium duty truck upfit counterparts, the No-HAZMAT Fuel & Service Truck Upfit and the Service and Lube Truck Upfit.
“Underground construction, like other markets we serve, is very specialized and can rely on extensive networks of pumps, generators and lighting, in addition to the excavation equipment used on site,” said Larry Lea, vice president of sales, Thunder Creek Equipment. “Dave Hehr and his team at Contractor Solutions have fully embraced the specialization found in his clients’ business and we’re honored to be a part of the lineup he brings to market.”
Founded in 2006, Contractor Solutions is as dedicated to the work its customers do as it is the equipment it sells and rents. Dedicated to the cause of trench safety, Hehr and his team are known to spend an extensive amount of time on site — helping each job and customer get the work done safely and economically.
“We focus on being knowledgeable, service-oriented and easy to work with,” said Dave Hehr, president/owner of Contractor Solutions. “That includes understanding the full life cycle of how these underground sites work and the importance of access to fuel and regular service items. The Thunder Creek lineup of solutions solves that in unique ways that are easy for our customers to get into — with the trucks and crews they already have.”
