The Wanco 12kW Light Tower is based on our most compact mobile generator. Designed for versatility and ease of use, the generator provides plenty of power while doubling as a full-featured high-intensity LED light tower. Industrial-grade construction ensures durability, longevity and reliable operation, while low fuel consumption lengthens run times, greatly reducing refueling and maintenance costs.
The Wanco WSP12 Light Tower optimizes the benefits of LED technology for brilliant illumination and extraordinary fuel savings.
Tower and Lights
The telescoping vertical tower is compact when stored and rises to 23 feet when deployed. A single winch raises and lowers the tower. The lights can be aimed individually without tools and operate at any height. The tower rotates even when fully extended.
Wanco’s industrial grade, 350-watt LED light fixtures are extremely durable and incredibly bright, providing over 227,100 total lumens. The LEDs have a 50,000-hour lifespan that equates to over 10 years of use, significantly reducing the need for maintenance and lowering overall cost of ownership.
Power and Controls
The 11-kilowatt power system features a rugged Perkins Tier 4 Final diesel engine and an oversized PMG alternator for 300% motor starting capacity.
The system includes a Deep Sea 7320-series digital controller with a sophisticated level of features and functions. The easy-to-use interface provides for manual and auto-start modes with event logging. The controller’s heated and backlit display continuously shows operating conditions, including alerts and engine and shutdown status. An emergency-stop button is located on the exterior of the generator enclosure.
A double-wall steel fuel tank is integrated and includes connections for attaching an auxiliary tank.
Environmental
Exceptional power efficiency and fuel savings create a smaller carbon footprint compared to other diesel light towers. Low fuel consumption not only lengthens run times, it greatly reduces refueling and overall maintenance costs.
Integral sound attenuation provides superior noise reduction — just 59 dBA at 23 feet (7 meters). Built-in fluid containment protects against ground contamination from leaks, spills and drips.
