Versatile light towers from Chicago Pneumatic

Chicago Pneumatic is launching two new light towers and its new V15s are the first models in the Chicago Pneumatic range to use a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) canopy. The units benefit from the new canopy, coupled with the compact small size, ease of transportation and fuel-efficient performance, and are said to suit the units to the rental market.

The new light towers from Chicago Pneumatic are designed for use in tough applications
6097 Chicago Pneumatic is launching two new light towers and its new V15s are the first models in the Chicago Pneumatic range to use a heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) canopy. The units benefit from the new canopy, coupled with the compact small size, ease of transportation and fuel-efficient performance, and are said to suit the units to the rental market.

The V15 range has two models. The CPLT V15 comes with metal halide technology, while the CPLT V15 LED features LED lighting technology and can light an area some 25% larger, while proving additional fuel efficiency benefits.

A 1265 Kubota EPA Tier 4 engine powers both options, and to ensure operational efficiency as well as fuel efficiency the units are equipped with a 127litre fuel tank. This allows the light towers to operate for many days without the need to refuel, maximising productivity and operating time.

The new canopy design offers increased protection and also features wide opening doors to allow maintenance access. Even demanding conditions, the V15s ensure complete safety at site with four heavy-duty stabilisers and a level indicator. Designed for easy transportability to or around the work site with a compact and lightweight design, the light tower can be transported with the mast in the vertical position, allowing safer transportation and installation.
