Tower of light

Atlas Copco Compressors' portable air division has introduced a new hydraulic mobile lighting tower designed to increase night work productivity and to support safe onsite operation.

Powered by a Perkins water-cooled diesel engine, the QLT H40 has an 8kW alternator, two 16A 230V power sockets and provides four 1000W metal halide lamps.

The lighting units are attached to an eightsection, fully automated, hydraulic vertical mast capable of deployment to 9m. The alternator operates at 60% of power to maximise energy efficiency and to reduce fuel consumption. Single switches for each individual lamp allow for the maximum combination of light and power choice.

The 140L fuel tank provides 85h of fuel autonomy for optimum shift working.

Additionally, the two-wheel unit offers a number of safety, environmental protection and fuel economy features.
