Charles Wilson Engineers (CW Plant) is expanding its fleet of Trime lighting towers with a further investment of sixty X-ecoled and twenty-four X-eco lithium hybrid sets.
The Trime X-eco hybrid lithium is an LED lighting tower that is powered by a combination of a lithium battery and a small fuel-efficient diesel engine. X-eco hybrid lithium can be fully recharged in less than 3.5 hours. This means that for 80% of operation, the X- eco hybrid lithium is powered by its batteries and emits zero noise and zero carbon emissions. Noise-sensitive areas will profit from the X-eco hybrid lithium as it operates silently for up to 11.5 hours.
The Trime X-eco LED features six 160W, 48V multi-directionally adjustable LED floodlights, with safe 48V power between the generator and the lights. The vertical hydraulic mast has seven sections, rising to a maximum height of 8.5m with 340° rotation and wind stability up to 110 km/h. Easy lifting is via a central lifting eye with longitudinal and transversal forklift pockets for safe handling and transportation. Graham Pollard, CW plant director, said: “We made this new investment to top up our existing fleet of X-ecos and to continue to grow a sustainable hybrid fleet. Trime products are tried and tested. They are the market leader and, in our opinion, the most reliable tower light in the hire industry and that’s also agreed by our customers.”
