Atlas Copco’s HiLight V4W light tower has been designed to offer superior performance at high altitudes and in extreme weather conditions.
The HiLight V4W features an 8kW water-cooled engine with three cylinders. The adaptability of the unit is proven by its ability to perform at high temperatures, up to 122 °F. The engine size and capacity was specifically chosen to enable the light tower to operate in hot, tough conditions. This enables it to cope with altitudes greater than 6,500 feet. High-altitude power de-rating will not affect the performance of the V4W.
The light tower’s large fuel tank can hold up to 42 gallons, offering a run time of up to 90 hours and consuming only 0.45 gallons of fuel per hour.
Atlas Copco’s new light tower is equipped with 4 x 1000 W metal halide lamps, which can illuminate an area of up to 43,000 square feet, with an average brightness of 20 lux. The HiLight V4W includes a manually operated vertical mast, which rotates 360 degrees and provides a maximum operating height of 25 feet. To assist with the manual mast, Atlas Copco also provides an electric winch option. The mast can withstand wind speeds of up to 51 mph.
The HiLight V4W is housed on a unibody trailer with a four-point levelling system and includes a heavy-duty base frame and stabilizers to ensure safety. It also integrates a number of important features, including a spillage free frame and the HardHat polyethylene canopy, which is durable under harsh conditions and protects internal parts against corrosion. Additionally, users will benefit from improved and easier serviceability thanks to its scissors doors.
