J.R.’s Pressure Truck Service Ltd. was incorporated in January of 1993.  We designed and built one of the very first one-ton pressure trucks that were modeled after much larger units.  The tank was fully compliant with the Transport Canada regulations that were applicable at the time. Most, if not all other competitors were using plastic, fiberglass or modified fuel tanks on one-tons at the time.  This competitive advantage allowed us to get our start.

We built one of the first single axle 4x4 units that could bridge the gap between the large tandem pumpers or hot oilers and the small one-ton pumpers.  This proved to be a good market for our services and eventually we built three of the single axle 4x4 units. We retired the last of our one-tons in 2006 concentrating on the slightly larger trucks.

The fall of 2010 arrived, and we brought home another pumper: a tandem truck with a larger tank and pump, and more capabilities.  It is equipped with a 10 cube, two compartment, tank. 6000 PSI or 42 MPa, and 500 LMP pump rates.

Then the fall of 2011 arrived.  Things REALLY changed.  We brought home three new pumpers. The first is a tandem axle hot oiler, 500 LMP pump rated to 6000 PSI/ 42 MPa.  The truck is a 2011 Western Star and has a 5.5 million BTU burner on it.  It is equipped with discharge line pipe and hoses, a very capable and safe hot oiler, perfect to support production needs for hot oiling pipelines or well bores.

Another hot oiler, but on a larger scale, also joined the fleet.  This is a Freightliner Tandem steer and Tridem rear axles. This pump is a 600 hp triplex 10,000 PSI/ 69 MPa. It pumps almost 1000 litres per minute. This is enough pump to support coil operations, and also heat fluid as required. For heating tanks and or frac ponds it has twin 5.5 million BTU burners for a total of 11 million BTU.  It is equipped with certified 2” 1502 line pipe and 69 MPa discharge hose.

The next truck was a Tridem rear axle straight pumper.  This truck also has a 600 hp triplex rated at 69 MPa.  We have a mix tank and agitator perfect to mix pills or sweeps while supporting coil operations.  It is equipped with certified 2” 1502 line pipe and a 69 MPa rated hose.  With an enclosed operator’s station and a tandem axle trailer, fully equipped as a mobile workshop, this truck can support our customers’ needs in any weather or season.

Since then, J.R.’s has expanded many times, adding:

• 15,000 PSI, 600 hp hot oiler
• 15,000 PSI, 1000 hp quinta-plex hot oiler capable of 1200 LPM
• 15,000 PSI, twin pumper with 2 600 hp motors running two 600 hp tri-plexes capable of 1800 LPM

All the while updating pumps and operator cabs keep the fleet current, all with chemical injecting capabilities.

All our large pump and hot oiler trucks have MDT Data Recording systems that allow us to log all the pumping operations including Pressure, Rate, Pumping Totals, Tank Volumes, Temperature in/ out on heating units, with the ability to have multiple unit monitoring, recording and multiple stream data merging. All available on a data stick at the end of the job or remote viewing during pumping operations.

J.R.’s has come a long way from its humble beginnings, and we aren’t done yet.
