Dusk. Darknessfalls. There‛s stillwork to do…Atlas Copco Light TowerAtlas Copco‛s GenSmart permanent magnet generator (PMG) is a powerfullight tower that has four 1,000-watt metal halide lamps and an enhanced flicker-freelighting to provide all of the lighting necessary with 15 to 20 percentmore efficiency. The mast will extend up vertically to 31 ft and will rotate 360degrees. Examples of standard equipment are: a runtime hour indicator; lockableenclosure; shutdown protection for low oil and high temperature; and a startingbattery. The QLT 4 is easy to operate and is a lightweight and well-balanced unitthat makes for easy transport and use in a wide variety of locations.Allmand Bros. Vertical Light TowerAllmand Bros. Inc. offers the V Series vertical light tower configuration as an option forits Night-Lite PRO Series light towers. With standard light towers, when the light mast isretracted, it must be folded down across the light tower for storage, transport and lightfixture adjustment. With the V Series design, the mast retracts and telescopes in and outof its own housing, which results in easier setup, simplified shipping, towing and storage andreduced potential for damage. The V Series configuration features a hydraulic system, whichallows the mast to be completely raised and lowered in just 30 seconds. The design allowsfor more intuitive light fixture positioning (angle and direction). Additionally, because theV Series tower doesn‛t protrude from the back of the cabinet, there is less chance for accidentaldamage and injury when towing on today‛s tight jobsites.24 Utility Contractor | July 2009
