Atlas CEA has literally been lighting the way for continuous, 24/7 project management.
Atlas Copco has long been a trusted brand within the industry for providing lighting towers for various projects at any time of the day or night.
Its renowned and established HiLight range represents efficient temporary lighting for improved productivity, offering infrastructure managers a wide variety of choices so that the right lighting tower can be selected for any application.
Within Australia, the Atlas Copco lighting towers are distributed by Atlas CEA, which supplies machines to a range of industries with a flexible and dynamic approach to operations, addressing efficiency and safety on site.
Project managers can also be assured of the robust build quality and compact size for which the Atlas Copco brand is globally recognised.
Atlas CEA Brand Leader David Buttigieg said Atlas Copco products were renowned for their strength and build quality.
“The site conditions across Australia can be diverse and demanding. It’s critical our products can withstand these conditions to support our local customer needs,” he said.
Atlas Copco has led the way in LED (light- emitting diode) technology innovations.
The lenses in the HiLight LED light towers have a unique optic designed specifically for the toughest and most demanding conditions, with the fully directional LED lens design ensuring maximum light coverage and reducing lighting waste.
A single HiLight tower can cover an area of up to 6000 square metres with an average brightness of 20 lux (the standard unit for light level intensity). Such coverage guarantees a brighter, safer, and more productive site.
“With the ability to light such a large area, the HiLight range is both efficient and practical,” David said.
“With safety a high priority for us and our customer base, we are confident the range ensures sites are safe without limiting the opportunity to be as productive as possible.”
The HiLight range provides businesses with a complete portfolio of innovative and easy-to-use light towers for energy-efficient light coverage that will help boost operational productivity while meeting environmental and safety standards.
HiLight BI+ 4
Atlas CEA has recently introduced the new HiLight BI+ 4 lighting tower, which incorporates state-of-the-art surface mount device (SMD) LED lighting technology and lithium-ion batteries for excellent performance and efficiency.
It will enable businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs while improving sustainability levels.
“Atlas Copco has placed a great deal of focus on creating a range that is efficient, environmentally conscious and delivers a cost-effective solution for its customers,” David said.
The new HiLight BI+ 4 light tower offers users maximum flexibility. With four different operating modes, the HiLight BI+ 4 combines lithium-ion batteries with a low-consumption Stage V diesel engine.
It has the option to be powered directly from mains electricity, from its lithium-ion batteries, from its diesel engine, or from a hybrid setting to make the most of the energy available.
Running solely on batteries provides project managers with up to 19 hours of silent and emission-free operations. In hybrid mode, it offers the lowest average fuel consumption in its class, with 0.29 litres per hour. Thanks to the incorporation of a battery, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint by up to seven tonnes of CO2 per unit per year.
“With the capacity to run for an extensive period, the BI+4 ensures worksites stay well-lit with energy-efficient luminosity, night after night,” David said.
With a 60 per cent reduction in engine runtime, service intervals are three times longer than light towers that run solely on diesel.
The HiLight BI+ 4 requires minimal maintenance every 1500 hours of lighting so that users can save on costs associated with servicing.
The HiLight BI+ 4 has four floodlights providing 150W power to reliably cover 4000 square metres. With a fully hydraulic mast lifting and electric mast rotation, it is 15 per cent lighter than any other hybrid light tower, and you can fit up to 22 units on a standard 13-metre container truck.
Leading in LED
“The transformative LED technology embedded in the BI+4 Lighting Tower combines innovative design and eco-friendly illumination,” David said.
“From heightened visibility to reduced environmental impact, this lighting solution brightens worksites and supports a greener and more sustainable future.
“The high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of more than 85 out of 100 means it does an excellent job of revealing the true colours of objects compared to natural light.
“The directional optics of the range further enhance this, as they offer incredible light distribution. That’s consistent, evenly distributed, glare-free light across the entire area at an economical cost.”
