GenesisPower Light® Light Towers
Introduction
Features

Introduction
Built for demanding conditions, these portable lighting towers provide durability with simplicity of operation and maintenance. Heavy-duty design with quality assured components and construction will provide years of trouble free operation. Ease of setup, takedown and transport makes Genesis Power Light® the ideal light for work sites, sporting events or other locations requiring reliable, portable lighting.

Frontier Power Products Ltd. developed the Genesis portable lighting tower to answer specific needs not being met by existing towers. Some of the key features of the Genesis tower include light stowage inside the canopy to prevent damage during transportation or vandalism while the machine is unattended. As well, the AC generator is a brushless (rotating field), self-excited, 1800 rpm unit that has automatic +/- 1-1/2% voltage regulation. This close voltage regulation allows the generator set to effectively power other loads including motors and solid-state or digital read-out devices. The standard engine is a Kubota three-cylinder diesel that conforms to all US and Canadian emissions standards. An 8 kWe prime power rating ensures that the lighting tower offers job site versatility as well as reliable lighting.

The Genesis Power Light® tower is easy to maintain, with excellent access to all service points. As well, the tower has a built-in containment tray to help prevent accidental spillage of contaminants such as fuel, oil or antifreeze. A galvanized, three-stage mast and rugged powder coat paint finish keep the Genesis tower looking good long after competitive towers show rust and corrosion.

Quality design, materials, construction and finishing are “standard equipment” on every Genesis Power Light.
