New lighting solutions unveiled at quarrying show

Listen to this article

A leading supplier of onsite power equipment has unveiled two of its new lighting solutions on the opening day of Hillhead, in Buxton.

Both machines have been designed, built and developed in Great Britain by the team at ArcGen Hilta and SMC, and are adaptations of the market leading SMC TL-90 lighting tower.

The first is the fuel efficient and environmentally friendly SMC Eco90 Lighting Tower.

With a 3000rpm engine, LED road lights and 185-hour running time, the Eco90 offers greater fuel efficiency and fewer carbon emissions than alternative lighting solutions. 

An adaptation of SMC’s market leading TL-90 lighting tower, the Eco90 also features 4 x 400W Metal Halide lamps emitting 136,000 Lumens.

An additional development from ArcGen Hilta, the SMC TL-90 XTRA Lighting Tower, was also launched to the UK market at the show, which was held between June 19 – 21.

Originally designed by SMC for use in Australian markets, the SMC TL-90 XTRA includes features such as 14” wheels for rough terrain and additional ground clearance, and wind down stabilisers, increasing the robustness of the current model.

Coupled with a lockable fuel cap and isolator for added security, the TL-90 XTRA’s features make it suited for use in the quarrying and mining industries. The machine also has optional extras of the traditional TL-90 fitted as standard, including powertilt and an auto-run timer.

Other features include hydraulically operated masts, 360 degree mast rotation, large fuel tanks, high fuel efficiency and the ability to be equipped with autostart/stop functions.
