Allmand now offers the increasingly popular V Series vertical light tower configuration as an option for its ML 7.5, ML 8, ML 15 and ML 20 Maxi-Lite Series light towers. With standard light towers, when the light mast is retracted, it must be folded down across the light tower for storage, transport and light fixture adjustment. But with the innovative V Series design, the mast retracts and telescopes straight up and down of its own vertical housing, which results in much easier setup, simplified shipping, towing, storage, and reduced potential for damaging the lamps.
The V Series configuration features a hydraulic lift system, which allows the mast to be completely raised and lowered in less than 30 seconds. Additionally, the vertical design allows for more intuitive light fixture positioning (angle and direction). With standard light towers, the mast is horizontal when lowered, meaning a bit of trial and error is required to accurately position each fixture. But with the V Series, the tower is still vertical when retracted, making accurate fixture adjustment fast and simple. Furthermore, the fixtures firmly hold their adjusted position as the tower is raised. The lights can be operated at any height.
A 50-gallon polyethylene fuel tank allows up to 100 hours of continuous operation, while a 4-inch oversized filler neck provides for easy fueling. An optional 70-gallon fuel tank offers up to 140 hours of continuous operation.
