The WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL from Larson Electronics is a mobile light tower package that is a towable lighting package powered by a water cooled diesel engine turning a single bearing 4 pole generator which produces 8,000 watts and 220V @ 50Hz. With four 1,000 watt metal halide lamps producing 440,000 lumens this unit will illuminate a 5-7 acre area continuously without refueling for 60 hours. In addition to the four main metal halide lamps, the WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL also includes two auxillary portable light towers to illuminate remote areas not covered by the main unit up to 325 feet away from the genset. The WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL features a 47 gallon (177 liters) fuel tank which allows for a 95 hour runtime from a full tank.
The WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL mobile light tower package is a self contained towable light tower package that produces enough light from the main unit to illuminate an area up to 7 acres in size. This main unit contains a water cooled diesel engine powering a 6,000 watt generator, which supplies the current to four 1,000 watt metal halide lamps producing 110,000 lumens each for a combined total of 440,000 lumens of light. In addition to the main genset unit, the WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL also includes two auxillary portable light towers and a pair of 300` (91 meter) extension cords which allows operators to position the auxillary towers up to 325` away from the main unit and illuminate areas that are not reached by the genset. This unit can run uninterrupted for 60 hours straight without refueling and includes a telescoping light mast which can elevate the four metal halide lamps to a height of 30 feet. This mobile floodlight package is ideal for emergency services, large scale event illumination, construction, mining, industrial operations and anywhere an extended operation capable mobile lighting solution is needed.
The WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL mobile light tower incorporates a long list of impressive features. The diesel engine is a water cooled Kubota that operates at 1800 rpm. This engine features key operated electric starting, a full twelve volt electrical system, automatic low oil pressure and high temperature safety shutoffs, dual fuel filters and easy access oil and radiator drain ports to facilitate maintenance. A 47 gallon (177 liter) fuel tank allows the engine to operate for 95 hours continuously without refueling. The 8,000 watt generator is a single bearing design and produces 220 volt current at 50Hz. The generator uses a four wire hookup system with an external ground allowing for setting up both electrical and mechanical safe grounding systems.
Lights: The main lighting system on this unit is comprised of four 1,000 watt metal halide lamps producing 110,000 lumens of light each attached to the end of the telescoping light boom. These floodlights produce a wide flood light pattern capable of illuminating 7 acres with a combined total of 440,000 lumens of light. 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 connected to the power source via a water tight male pin connector that attaches to a receptacle located on the end of the telescoping boom.
Controls: The operations system for this unit is a centrally located control panel within the light tower enclosure. Four circuit breaker protected switches allow individual control of the lights while an individual hour meter tracks unit operating time. Also included is an alternator warning light, fuel primer system, preheating switch and three L6-20 outlets for connecting the auxillary towers and other equipment that requires power at remote work sites where traditional power sources are unavailable or inconvenient.
Auxillary Towers: The WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL includes two of the Larson Electronics portable metal halide light towers as auxillary lights to remotely illuminate areas away from the main genset and that the main genset cannot illuminate. The WAL-C-1XM is a quadpod mounted mini light tower and provides 49,000 square feet of work area coverage with 110,000 lumens of light output. This portable light tower has a removable dual light head assembly mounted on top of a four leg steel quadpod equipped with 10 inch wheels for easy positioning of the unit from one area of the workspace to another. The light assembly on this unit produces a wide flood pattern of light that is ideal for illuminating large workspaces and jobsites. This light is designed for heavy duty use in demanding conditions including emergency services, mining, construction, marine and industrial operations where durability and portability is important.
These auxillary light towers are comprised of a removable light assembly fitted with one metal halide lamp mounted atop a four leg tripod fabricated from heavy duty steel. This adjustable and collapsible quadpod pod can be extended to fourteen feet and collapsed to seven feet and is locked into position with t-handle locking pins. Each unit is extended and lowered using an included hand crank cable winch equipped with a brake for fast and safe deployment. Included solid wheels allow the operator to tilt the unit back and simply roll the entire assembly to a new location when fully deployed. The light fixture assembly can be removed by releasing the hand knob and sliding the light and mounting bracket off of the center support while the legs can be collapsed, aiding in deployment, storage and transport. The lamps can be easily adjusted up, down or from side to side independently of each other and locked into position for maximum coverage of the work area.
Auxillary Tower Power: The auxillary towers included with the WCDE-4-8KW-MHL-47GL-220V-2X1M-NPNTL each come with a 300` (91 meter) long 12/3 SOOW extension cord which allows each auxillary tower to be utilized at distances of up to 325` away from the main genset unit. Each auxillary tower features a control box that houses the ballast for each light and that also features an on/off switch, line circuit protection and a power indicator. The auxillary towers included with this light tower package are connected to power from the genset via included L6-20 connectors.
Telescoping Boom: The telescoping boom consists of three sections extending up to 30 feet through the use of two manual self braking winches and allows for rotating the lights 360 degrees. One winch is mounted to the trailer tongue and acts to raise the tower into a vertical position while the other is mounted to the boom and is used to extend the tower to the desired height. The telescoping boom is constructed of galvanized steel to resist rusting and corrosion and is capable of withstanding 65 mph winds when extended to its full height and the stabilizing outriggers are deployed. The stabilizing outriggers are a three point design with one located under the trailer tongue and two on the rear sides of the unit. The two side outriggers are adjustable and include 3,000 lbs swivel jacks for leveling and stabilizing the tower.
Housing: All of the operating components are housed within a protective compartment constructed of 14 gauge steel and designed to provide airflow for cooling. Side doors provide access to the interior while latches provide secure closing while the unit is in use. The design and construction of this enclosure along with the commercial grade muffler system helps this unit operate at a low 63 Db noise level @ 23 ft. The entire unit can be loaded and unloaded onto trucks via forklift sleeves mounted to the outer section of the light mast. The entire unit is mounted onto a two wheel trailer with a 3,500 lbs leaf spring axle. A NATO pintle hitch and two standard safety chains allow for easy hookup and towing.
