Atlas Copco Light Tower

Atlas Copco’s GenSmart permanent magnet generator (PMG) is a powerful light tower that has four 1,000-watt metal halide lamps and an enhanced flicker-free lighting to provide all of the lighting necessary with 15 to 20 percent more efficiency. The mast will extend up vertically to 31 ft and will rotate 360 degrees. Examples of standard equipment are: a runtime hour indicator; lockable enclosure; shutdown protection for low oil and high temperature; and a starting battery. The QLT 4 is easy to operate and is a lightweight and well-balanced unit that makes for easy transport and use in a wide variety of locations.

Allmand Bros. Vertical Light Tower

Allmand Bros. Inc. offers the V Series vertical light tower configuration as an option for its Night-Lite PRO Series light towers. With standard light towers, when the light mast is retracted, it must be folded down across the light tower for storage, transport and light fixture adjustment. With the V Series design, the mast retracts and telescopes in and out of its own housing, which results in easier setup, simplified shipping, towing and storage and reduced potential for damage. The V Series configuration features a hydraulic system, which allows the mast to be completely raised and lowered in just 30 seconds. The design allows for more intuitive light fixture positioning (angle and direction). Additionally, because the
V Series tower doesn’t protrude from the back of the cabinet, there is less chance for accidental damage and injury when towing on today’s tight jobsites.



Wacker Neuson Light Tower

Wacker Neuson’s LTN 6 (Light Tower Narrow body, 6-kw generator) offers a compact design that takes up less room on the jobsite and/or in the rental yard and reduces freight costs by allowing 11 units to be transported on a truck load. Borrowing from the automotive industry, the LTN 6 features a stamped, 10-guage steel tub that provides superior strength and full protection from ground debris. The LTN 6 sound level is as low as 67 dBA at 23 ft. Wacker Neuson’s light towers come equipped with distinctive elliptical light fixtures which offer a diffused and even illumination without glare.
The lights can be manually adjusted without tools. The light fixtures come preinstalled at the factory, reducing setup time.



Lowell Corp. Mini Flashlight

A new mini flashlight that clips to the handle of several Lowell Corp. ratchet wrenches can help utility and construction workers find and adjust nuts in dark areas. In addition to making it easier to locate a nut, the Hi-Vis Hi-Lite directs light right to the wrench head and work area and frees up both of a worker’s hands for working. The light is 3-5/8 in. long, 3/4 in. in diameter, and, with its detachable clip, weighs 1.9 oz. Although it’s physically small, the light and clip are designed for rugged duty. The light’s aluminum housing has an anodized protective finish and is water-resistant. The brightness is 20 lumens thanks to replaceable, standard AA battery. Battery life is approximately six hours of continuous use and up to 100 hours of intermittent use.



White Night Rear Lighting System

Tow masters need not fear the dark. Channel the powers of illumination with the White Night Rear Lighting System (from Cruiser Stainless Accessories) to automatically light the way when backing tow vehicles. The brilliance of this product provides an 80-ft spread of white light behind and to the rear sides of the vehicle when in reverse gear, dramatically improving visibility and safety when towing. The White Night utilizes two big, bright 55-watt halogen lamps mounted in a high impact black plastic case. A toggle switch on the unit also allows manual operation. The White Night is compact and mounts to the hitch receiver tube of most Class 1 to 4 trailer hitches. Available fixed mount version allows full function of the light while the hitch is being used to tow. No drilling is required and the unique Plug-N-Go feature makes White Night one of the easiest lighting products on the market to install.
