Vibroseis Trucks can be a common site in areas as companies try to locate energy deposits.

The oil and gas industry requires a lot of niche equipment to do its work: drill bits–even pink ones, pump jacks, condensate tanks, and trucks.

Lots of different kinds of weird trucks built for very specific tasks. Crane trucks. Pole trucks. Coil tubing trucks. The list goes on.

Grace Hood, a reporter with Inside Energy partner station KUNC, has put together a visual guide to oil and gas trucks.

Check it out! We know you’ve always wanted to hear what a thumper truck sounds like.
