Wanco Vertical-Mast Diesel Light Towers deploy quickly with a single winch to raise the mast, which rises to 30 feet. For fast job-site setup and less downtime, a single winch raises the tower. Each light fixture can be aimed independently without the use of tools — and they stay in place once positioned. Choose LEDs, metal halide, or balloon lights. The lights operate at any height and the mast can rotate 358 degrees, even while extended. A choice of industrial diesel engines and four-pole generators ensure reliable performance.
