KEMP, Texas, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, has released a new trailer mounted hydraulic megatower light plant for heavy-duty industrial applications. This 7-stage folding tower hydraulic plant deploys lights or other equipment to elevations of 112 feet and features a hydraulic ram and mast, as well as high output LED. The entire assembly is mounted onto a tandem axle trailer and powered by a 20KW Kubota diesel generator with a 110-gallon fuel tank. This trailer has been designed to hold steady through extremely rugged outdoor conditions and harsh winters.

This trailer mounted fold over 7-stage hydraulic light plant provides a safe and effective way for operators to quickly deploy twenty 500-watt LED light heads to elevations above 100` (ground to mast head), reaching a total height of 112` (with 12` of light head assembly) for any heavy-duty industrial application. This light boom can be collapsed to 30` for applications where a footprint smaller is required. The tower is constructed of carbon steel tubing with 2` foot of overlap per section. This mining grade light tower folds over for easy transportation, features a hydraulic ram upright assist, hydraulic mast and high output LED fixtures. This unit contains a water cooled diesel engine powering a 20KW Kubota generator, which supplies the current for twenty 500-watt LED lights producing 67,500 lumens each, for a combined total of 1,350,000 lumens of light. This unit can run uninterrupted for up to 43 continuous hours without refueling. The entire unit is mounted onto a four wheel, dual tandem axle trailer with 12" I-beam construction. Each axle is rated at 10,000 lbs and equipped with P235/80R16 tubeless tires and wheels. The rear axle is equipped with electric brakes. A gooseneck hitch system that extends to the truck bed, above the rear axle and the trailer, is available for secure hauling.

The WCDE-20-HLM100-20X500LTL-LED-WSM is a versatile self-contained, towable Megatower light plant. This unit contains a water-cooled diesel engine powering a 20KW Kubota generator and features twenty 500-watt LED lights that produce a total of 67,500 lumens each, for a grand total of 1,350,000 lumens. This light plant can run for 43 continuous hours without refueling. The hydraulic tower can be extended to 112 feet and collapsed to 30 feet for a smaller footprint. The telescoping boom is constructed of carbon steel with a galvanized finish and raised from and lowered to the folded position by a single hydraulic ram and extended or retracted by a second hydraulic system.

An external oil pump system is included with this Megatower, along with robust wind monitoring system that prevents shaking during strong winds to keep the unit damage-free. When exposed to strong winds, such as 40 mph, the system automatically retracts the mast for safe operation. The entire unit is mounted onto a four-wheel, dual tandem axle trailer with 12" I-beam construction. The LED light heads are grouped into banks of four. Each bank in wired into the NEMA 3R breaker control box at the base of the mast. Operators control the light heads via an on/off switched breaker per bank of five light heads. The hydraulics are also powered from within this breaker box.

“With over a million lumens of brilliant LED illumination, this Megatower light plant is a viable temporary lighting solution for huge outdoor events and large jobsite lighting,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “In addition to its high-powered illumination, this unit is extremely rugged, and features a durable cold weather package that can survive in the roughest conditions comparable with those found in Antarctica.”
