ATLAS Copco has confirmed the launch of its second generation of solar light towers, the HiLight MS 4 and MS 5.
These light towers are designed to offer a solution that aligns with the shift towards more renewable energy solutions. Atlas Copco explained the HiLight MS series illuminates work sites with ‘unparalleled efficiency’ and also reduces the carbon footprint of operations.
“These new models represent a significant evolution from the first generation, with advancements in technology and design that set a new standard in the industry,” said Eric Tomin, Atlas Copco power and flow – divisional product marketing manager. “Also, they are a testament to our commitment to innovation and reduction of CO2 emissions.
“We are excited to offer these cutting-edge on-site lighting solutions to our clients, helping them to meet emission and noise regulation norms while benefiting from the latest advancements in lighting technology.”
The HiLight MS series is more compact than the first generation due to the solar panel design. It is brighter thanks to SMD High Lumen LED technology and said to offer more autonomy and reliability with solar panels in parallel, ensuring that if one panel has an issue, the battery continues to be recharged by the others.
Each solar panel is equipped with one Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), and the units are protected by a HardHat canopy. The loading capacity is optimised to fit nine units in a 40’ High Cube container.
Atlas Copco’s HiLight MS 4 and MS 5 offer light coverage of up to 3,846m² and 5,278m² at an average of 20 lux, with surface mounted device (SMD) High Lumen LED lights providing 87,750 and 117,000 lumens respectively.
The new models can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -20° to +45° Celsius.
Features include an E-winch, Earth Leakage Relay, E-stop, and Photocell & AutoStart. Additional options include EU Road Homologation, AUS undercarriage version, and C5M painting.
