DESCRIPTION

The WCDE-11-PLM50-6X1000W-MH Metal Halide Megatower™ is a self contained, towable, high power light tower package. This unit contains a water cooled diesel engine powering a 10 KVA Kubota generator, which supplies the current for six 1000 watt metal halide lights producing 110,000 lumens each, for a combined total of 660,000 lumens of light. This unit can run uninterrupted in temperatures ranging between -10 degrees Celsius and +55 degrees Celsius for up to 43 continuous hours without refueling and includes a pneumatic telescoping light mast which can elevate the six high output metal halide lamps to a height of 58`. The light tower uses a NEMA 4 panel, which houses the electronics of the unit. This mobile floodlight package is ideal for large scale event illumination, construction, mining, industrial operations, and anywhere a mobile full power lighting system capable of extended operation is needed.

This telescoping seven stage pneumatic light mast from Larson Electronics is designed to allow operators to quickly and safely deploy up to 6,000 watts of high intensity metal halide lighting in locations where illumination must be elevated to heights up to 58` for effective coverage. This light boom can be extended to 58` for maximum area coverage, and collapsed to 22` for applications where a smaller footprint is required. The tower is constructed of heat treated aluminum tubing with 2.69` foot of overlap per section. The mast is elevated using an included hydraulic ram, and extended to its full height using a trailer mounted air compressor. A 90" wide by 109.5" tall and 2" by 2" by 1/4" thick steel mast head is attached to the upper section of the mast which provides a strong and stable platform for the six 1000 watt metal halide light heads.

Accessories: This light tower comes with a convenient 240V/20 amps outlet with RCD protection, one main RCD circuit breaker (10-30 mA) and a grounding rod.

Lights: Included with this light tower is one of our wet area suitable HID-22SL-REM-105 high output metal halide fixtures, producing a combined total of approximately 660,000 lumens at 1000 watts. The light head contains six high output metal halide lamps, producing 110,000 lumens per fixture. Each floodlight is securely fastened to the light boom and each lamp includes a support bracket to help maintain lamp stability within its housing. The lamps are hard wired into a NEMA 4 panel located on the end of the telescoping boom.

The 1000 watt metal halide light produces exceptional illumination using a 19” aluminum reflector housing that spreads a powerful flood pattern of high quality light over large areas. This fixture is equipped with a 1000 watt metal halide lamp which produces the intense illumination and exceptional color rendering normally associated with these lamps. The metal halide lamp is secured within a separate die cast housing for strength and durability while a clear tempered glass lens provides protection for the lamp. The unit is the light head only, no remote ballast included. This fixture is U.L. listed for wet area certification and the high power flood beam produced by this lamp makes it ideal for applications requiring illumination of large scale areas that may be subject to wet conditions.

Telescoping Boom: The pneumatic telescoping boom is constructed of heat treated aluminum with an powder coated finish and extends up 58` in height. This boom is raised from and lowered to the folded position by a single hydraulic ram, and extended or retracted by pnumaitc system with equipped air compressor.

Wiring/Controls: A NEMA 4 panel can be found on this unit, which is a job box used to house all electronics associated with the light tower. The air compressor and battery charger are powered from within this breaker box. Power is provided to the control box via an integraged 10KVA genset. The mast elevation is controlled by a push button switch to operate the hydraulic ram, allowing operators to raise the mast to the upright position. The vertical deployment is operated by an up/down level, allowing operators to extend it to its full 58` height or retract it to the collapsed height.

Genset: The WCDE-11-PLM50-6X1000W-MH mobile Megatower™ includes a Kubota Lowboy II GL11000TM genset that houses a Kubota D722 diesel engine that powers the 10KVA 120/240V brushless generator. This genset is liquid cooled and features a single phase generator with electric start ignition. The diesel generator runs at 3600 RPM and is equipped with an EPA/CARB Tier 4 emissions system. A 110 gallon fuel cell sits beside the genset and is equipped with an electric fuel delivery system. The fuel cell is constructed of single a heavy gauge steel single wall frame with internal anti-splash baffles. This genset features key operated electric starting, a twelve volt electrical system, liquid cooling, replaceable dry element air cleaner, and a full enclosure for safe operation and protection against the elements. This engine also features cold weather options to improve performance under cold weather conditions.

Trailer: The entire unit is mounted onto a four wheel, tandem axle trailer constructed of 8" box steel. Each axle is rated at 7,000 lbs and equipped with P235/80R16 tubeless tires and wheels. The rear axle is equipped with electric brakes. Tongue weight is rated at 650 lbs and an adjustable 3” lunnett eye for pintle hitches provides secure hookup to tow vehicles. A single 7,000 lbs rated tongue jack provides a stable connect-disconnect platform as well as additional stability during tower deployment. Standard heavy duty safety chains are included. This trailer also includes a front mounted storage area for stowing tools and accessories. The trailer is finished in industrial grade paint for protection against rust and corrosion and provides an attractive finish. Overall dimensions of the entire trailer and boom assembly in the stowed for travel configuration is 21` long by 8’ wide. Picking eyes allow operators to crane/hoist the unit around job sites.

Six 7,000 lbs hand crank jacks are used for raising the trailer up off the ground, and four 7,000 lbs hand crank jacks mounted on extending outriggers are used for leveling and stabilizing the trailer assembly. Each of the four jacks are attached to a pivoting outrigger constructed of 6` by 6" by 6.3" steel I-beams. The jacks can be leveled by hand crank or attachment provided for power drills. These outriggers can be extended 6` out from the side of the trailer for added stability. This light plant can withstand 35 mph winds when fully extended. When lowered to 30`, the mast can withstand 50 mph winds. When lowered to 22`, the mast can withstand wind speeds up to 95 mph with gusts of 125 mph. Custom builds can be provided for higher wind speed resistance when fully raised.

Runtime: The six 1000 watt metal halide light heads are able to achieve up to 43 hours of continuous use on a single tank of gas when only operating the light heads and air compressor. When running 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, this meta halide light plant will run for nearly 2 days straight without refueling. When the genset is running for 12 hours a day, this tower will provide on-site illumination for up to 4 days before needing more fuel.

We offer a choice of finishing, equipped light heads, and with or without gensets. These towers can be fitted with Larson Electronics line of high output light heads, or customize the mast head to meet the mounting requirements for your equipment. Optional diesel generators and fuel cells can be equipped from factory, or retrofitted after purchase.

Cold Weather Package: The WCDE-11-PLM50-6X1000W-MH is designed to withstand extreme cold environments and harsh winters. The pneumatic system is equipped with a de-icing system to prevent the air compressor, air lines, and pneumatic mast from freezing from moisture building within the air system.
