Towable Diesel Bowsers by Chieftain Trailers

Chieftain Trailers manufactures a proven range of bunded towable diesel bowsers designed for dependable fuel transport on public roads. Available in 1,000, 1,450 and 2,230 litre capacities, each bowser combines a UN-approved fuel tank with a fully EU Type Approved galvanised twin-axle chassis. Robust construction, stable towing characteristics and practical dispensing options make Chieftain fuel bowsers ideally suited to construction, agriculture, quarrying and other demanding working environments. All models are designed and manufactured at Chieftain's Dungannon factory.

Towable Diesel Bowsers by Chieftain Trailers

Chieftain's towable diesel bowsers enable construction companies, farms, quarries, and fuel distributors to transport diesel legally on public roads to remote worksites, fields, and locations without fixed fuel infrastructure. Every bowser is UN-approved and EU Type Approved, meaning it meets the stringent international standards required for the road transport of hazardous goods.

The bunded design provides secondary containment as required by environmental regulations. The inner tank is constructed from 3mm mild steel with internal baffles to reduce fuel surge during transport. The 4mm mild steel outer tank provides the secondary containment layer, ensuring that any leak from the inner tank is contained and does not reach the environment.

All models feature a type-approved chassis with torsion rubber suspension and an over-run braking system to full road specification. The twin-axle design ensures stability during towing, and the tough chassis construction handles the weight of a full fuel load with confidence.

Standard equipment includes a lockable cabinet housing the pumping equipment, a four-digit flow meter for accurate dispensing records, an in-line strainer filter, and a 12-volt ISO lighting system to full road specification. A ball hitch lock provides security when the bowser is left on site.

The range covers the most common fuel transport requirements: the 220-gallon model for smaller operations and daily refuelling runs, the 300-gallon for medium-volume requirements, and the 500-gallon for larger worksites and operations that need to minimise refuelling trips.

Why Choose Chieftain?

UN approval and EU Type Approval are legal requirements for transporting fuel on public roads. Every Chieftain towable diesel bowser meets these standards as delivered, with no additional certification needed. The bunded design, lockable cabinet, and road-specification braking and lighting ensure safe, secure, and legal fuel transport from day one.
