Lasting Lighting Value
PowerTower® portable lighting towers are built to withstand western Canada's severe operating conditions. If you need reliability, durability, operating economy and versatility combined in a superior, field proven unit, look to PowerTower™.

Most lighting towers are designed for use in urban settings such as roadsides, airports or building construction sites. PowerTower® machines will easily handle these tasks and they will outperform competitive machines in the more demanding conditions found in oilfield, pipeline and mining applications. PowerTower® offers better flexibility and value.

Versatile PowerTower™ portable light towers can be configured to provide up to 30 kWe* of electrical power for better machine utilization. This electrical power generating capability is available with a variety of distribution options to tailor the machine to your specific needs.

Reliability: The highest quality engines and generators are used. Special care is given to the smallest details to assure dependable, durable service.

Versatility: PowerTower® is available as a portable lighting tower or as a combined A.C. generating set and lighting tower. This allows greater utilization of the machine. Generator outputs from 6 to 30 kWe* are available. To enhance this versatility, several electrical distribution configurations are offered.

Environmentally Responsible Construction: We realize that our portable lighting towers may be used in sensitive environments. To minimize the risk of accidental fuel, lubricating oil or coolant spills, PowerTower® trailer mounted machines have a containment feature. A sealed pan under the engine/generator and standard fuel storage tank provides an extra margin of safety against environmental contamination.

Extreme Climate Capabilities: Originally designed for usage in Canada's northern oilfields, PowerTower® outperforms other machines in cold climates owing to its dual control cooling system. There is significantly less engine wear and fewer cold oil related problems. The same system that works well in cold climates offers superior cooling in high ambient temperatures.

Simplicity: The PowerTower® uses simple, easy to repair or replace components.

*Larger kWe outputs are available on skid style or custom built machines.

We build quality and common sense into the PowerTower® portable lighting/generating system.
