Equipment rental specialist, ACE Plant, has expanded its fleet of Trime lighting towers, with the addition of 40 Trime X-Eco hybrid lithium units.
Commenting on this latest investment, ACE Plant’s George Wheeler said, “We have dealt with the Trime brand for some time and we feel that its products are the best in the market. We appreciate the connectivity and telemetry systems built into these units. Being able to control the lights via an iPad has also proven to have been very beneficial for some of our customers.”
The Trime X-Eco hybrid lithium is an LED lighting tower that is powered by a combination of a lithium battery backed up by a small fuel-efficient Yanmar 1500rpm 2-cylinder diesel engine. There is a 50-litre fuel tank which is fully bunded, guarding against spillage and leakage. It can be fully recharged in less than two hours. This means that for 80% of the operation, the unit is powered exclusively by its batteries and therefore emits zero noise and zero carbon emissions.
