Product Focus: Field service trucks

Carry more equipment with field service lube truck
Featuring capacities larger than a lube skid, Auto Crane’s four field service lube trucks are useful for preventive maintenance as well as refueling. Available in single- or tandem-axle models, the lube truck also has larger fluid reservoirs for big jobsites.
