Towable lighting towers with masts extending to 12 metres
Diesel and hybrid units for night works and early starts
Booked on the area to be covered, not on a lumen figure
Delivered, positioned and fuelled ready to run
Book On Coverage, Not On Brightness
Lumens describe how much light a lamp puts out. Lux describes how much of it lands on the ground where people are working, and lux is what a site is actually judged on.
The same tower gives good light over a compact compound and thin light over a long road works layout. Mast height helps, because raising the lamps spreads the pool wider and softens the shadows, but there is a limit and past it you want a second tower rather than a taller one.
The usual reasons are night works, winter early starts, an event that runs past sunset, or a shutdown that has to be finished before Monday. All of them need light that stands up on its own and does not run off a lead.
Coverage is what to book on, not brightness. One tower on a small compound is a different job from lighting a road works layout, and telling us the area is more useful than telling us the lumens.
What Decides How Many You Need
- The size and shape of the area, because a long thin site needs more units than a square one
- What the work is, since fine work needs more light on the ground than material handling
- Anything that casts a shadow: stockpiles, plant, containers, a partly built structure
- Whether traffic or the public passes through, which usually raises the requirement
- How much of the night it runs, which decides fuel and refuelling rather than lighting
Two Towers Beat One Bright One
A single tower throws hard shadows behind everything on the site, and the shadows are where people trip. Two units at opposite corners give far better usable light than one unit at twice the output.

Call Us NowDiesel Or Hybrid
Diesel Lighting Tower
- Runs as long as there is fuel in the tank
- The straightforward choice for a full night shift
- Audible, which matters near housing
- Needs refuelling on a long run
- The pick for road works, shutdowns and continuous night operation
Hybrid Lighting Tower
- Runs on battery with the engine cutting in only to recharge
- Near silent for most of the night
- Far less fuel used over the same hours
- Better suited to intermittent than flat-out continuous use
- The pick for residential streets, events and anywhere noise is the constraint
Noise Is Usually The Real Constraint
On a suburban Perth job the complaint that stops the work is rarely about light, it is about the generator running at two in the morning. If there is housing within earshot, ask about a hybrid before you book a diesel unit.
Setting A Tower Up Safely
- Firm level ground, with the outriggers deployed and set before the mast goes up
- Nothing overhead, because a mast extending to 12 metres reaches power lines easily
- The mast lowered before the unit is moved, every time, no exceptions
- Lamps aimed at the work and away from traffic and from any neighbouring windows
- An eye on the wind, since an extended mast in a Perth sea breeze is a real load
Aim It Before You Need It
Set the tower up and aim the lamps in daylight. Working out where the light should point at ten at night, with the machine already running, is how sites end up with the glare pointing at the operator instead of the ground.

It depends on the size and shape of the area and what the work is, not on a lumen figure. A long thin layout needs more units than a compact compound of the same area, and anything that casts a shadow adds to the count. Tell us the area and the work and we will tell you the number.
The units we hire extend to 12 metres. Raising the mast spreads the pool of light wider and softens the shadows, which is usually more useful than a brighter lamp at a lower height. Past a point though, a second tower beats a taller one.
A diesel unit runs its engine continuously for as long as there is fuel. A hybrid runs on battery and starts the engine only to recharge, so it is near silent for most of the night and uses far less fuel. On a residential job the hybrid is usually the one that keeps the neighbours out of it.
Yes, and it is worth choosing a hybrid unit if you do. The complaint that shuts a suburban night job down is almost always the engine noise rather than the light. Aim the lamps at the work and away from neighbouring windows as well.
A diesel unit runs as long as there is fuel in the tank, and a hybrid stretches the same fuel much further because the engine only runs to recharge. Tell us how many hours a night you need and we will tell you whether refuelling needs scheduling.
