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. The system includes a Deep Sea 6000-series digital controller with a sophisticated level of features and functions. Industrial-grade construction ensures durability, longevity and reliable operation, while low fuel consumption lengthens run times, greatly reducing refueling and maintenance costs.
LED technology effectively replaces outdated HID flood lights. By design, LEDs have a more controlled, highly directional light distribution, focusing light rather than sending it in all directions. The result is more efficient use of light energy and much lower power consumption. The Wanco 12kW Light Tower optimizes the benefits of LED technology for brilliant illumination and extraordinary fuel savings.
The telescoping vertical tower is compact when stored and rises to just under 25 feet when deployed. A single winch raises and lowers the tower, which rotates 358 degrees even when deployed. Light fixtures can be aimed individually from the ground — without tools and without having to climb up on the equipment — and the lights operate at any height.
The power system features a rugged Perkins® Tier 4 Final diesel engine and an oversized Mecc Alte alternator with PMG for superior starting capacity. A double-wall steel fuel tank is integrated with the trailer and includes connections for attaching an auxiliary tank.
Exceptional power efficiency and fuel savings create a smaller carbon footprint compared to other light towers. Low fuel consumption not only lengthens run times, it greatly reduces refueling and overall maintenance costs. Built-in fluid containment protects against ground contamination from leaks, spills and drips.
