LDC Equipment now has a new product to offer. We are known for our collective range of lighting towers. Thus, we make regular updates and upgrades to our models with the best technology and innovation. So, we are proud to introduce our latest model, the Overhead Lighting Tower (OLT). 100% Australian designed and made. It is now available for hire or purchase.

Features of the Overhead Lighting Tower:

  • Height: These models are taller than traditional lighting towers. Our units can raise up to total of 9m. An 3m extension than our other lighting towers.
  • Portable: The units are placed on a trailer, designed to move easily from place to place. Being able to be set up at any location.
  • Solar Power: Like all the manufactured products here at LDC, the OLT is run completely from solar panels. Using the energy obtained from the sun to generate electricity to charge up the unit, enough during night work.
  • Water/Weather resistant: These units are designed to be placed for outside night-work in various conditions.
  • Efficiency: Most lighting towers used LEDs lights, which use less energy than traditional lighting outlets.

Other Features:

  • 0m light outreach
  • Lumens: Up to 15,000
  • 350 degrees rotating motor
  • 400mm extended outriggers for stability (800mm total)
  • Wheel locking chains
  • 6 stage telescopic hydraulic mast 2.0m retracted & 9.0m extended.
  • 100W lamps
  • Manual & automatic operations
  • Light dimming capability for maximum run time
  • Touch screen interface

After all, working at night with any equipment can be hazardous and cause safety concerns. For that reason, The OLT can provide plenty of light to help minimise any risks.

Applications of the Overhead Lighting Tower:

  • Construction: Many construction projects need to work into the night. A Lighting tower provides adequate light for the workers and raise awareness for the public passing by.
  • Events: A pop-up such as a festival where permanent light fixtures are not in place. A light tower can easily be set up there, and removed once the event is finished.
  • Emergency: During an emergency such as an accident. A light tower can quickly be deployed to provide effective lighting for the site and the first responders. Especially, at a low-lighting site where traditional lighting such as flashlight may not be enough.
  • Production: For nighttime production work such as film, photoshoot, or other. If filming in remote areas, where a source of light is needed.
  • Traffic Control: During roadworks being completed at night. It is essential that proper lighting is in place for both the workers’ safety, but to inform passing vehicles.
  • Mining: Most mining sites are in off-grid or low natural lighting locations. A lighting tower can provide a safe and effective working environment.
  • Parking: After an event, a unit can be in placed in parking lot for direction and safety for attendees.
  • Other applications can include Civil works, night work, machinery yards, open spaces, residential areas, and sport clubs.

Benefits of the Overhead Lighting Tower

  • Visibility: One of the main reasons for having a light tower is to provide effective lighting during nighttime work, where there is very little lighting or no traditional is available.
  • Extended Workday: Some job sites need to work into the night where natural lighting is no longer available such as construction, roadworks, or mining.
  • Portable: All our units are mounted on a trailer with wheel, so they can be transport from place to place easily.
  • Off-the-Grid sites: There are job sites where access to a power supply is a challenge or not possible at all. Our units are powered by solar energy, so no power supply is needed.
  • Safety: My main concern in any nighttime work is the increased hazards involved. Proper lighting can minimize the chances of any accidents or mishaps on site.
  • Efficiency: Our units use LED lights, designed to produce effective lighting and not using as much energy to traditional light fixtures.
  • Eco-Friendly: All products by LDC are solar powered, meaning none of our lighting towers product any emissions harmful to the environment.
  • Easy Setup: The deployment of a solar light tower is quicker and simpler than traditional light fixtures. As no wiring or infrastructure in needed.
  • Cost-Effective: Purchasing a light tower may be more costly than traditional options. However, in the long term the ongoing costs are reduced in terms of the budget for operating and maintenance.
  • No-Noise: Most light towers, especially those that are powered by diesel can create noise which can limit where they can be used, as some sites have noise restrictions. Our units produce no noise, so can be used at any site at any time.

Lighting towers can also be an effective way to discourage unwanted visitors. For example, a security camera can attach to the tower (depending on the model) for additional surveillance. The combination provides the best machinery for both safety and security.
