Protect long-term asset value

By running the diesel engine only when needed, you reduce total engine runtime by up to 55%, protecting your machine from excessive wear-and-tear and significantly boosting its future resale value.

Indestructible RedRock™ canopy

The patented, dual-wall polyethylene shell shrugs off heavy worksite impacts, dents, and corrosion, keeping your internal components shielded in the most demanding outdoor environments.

Maximize transport logistics

Weighing only 2,072 lbs (up to 36% lighter than competitors), you can easily fit up to 10 fully assembled towers on a standard 48-foot flatbed trailer to slash your shipping and deployment costs.

Plug in or use the sun to charge for free

You don’t have to burn a single drop of diesel to charge this machine if you have other power sources nearby. If there is a standard wall outlet close by, you can plug the tower in to fully charge the battery in just three hours. If you are working completely off-grid, you can connect solar panels to fully charge the unit using free, clean energy from the sun in seven hours. This flexibility lets you run 100% emission-free site lighting without spending a dime on fuel.

Built to brave freezing winter weather

Many people worry that modern lithium batteries won't work in freezing temperatures, but this tower is engineered to handle the harsh cold. It features an automatic built-in battery heater that keeps the system warm and safe to charge even when temperatures drop to 14°F. It can also reliably power your lights in extreme freezing environments as cold as -4°F. This means your crew stays safe and illuminated all winter long without worrying about battery failure.

Set-and-forget light adjustments

Directing your floodlights should never be a frustrating chore that requires tools or loose knobs. The M26 uses heavy-duty, quick-locking "Camlocks" that let you point the lights exactly where you need them and lock them securely into place. These rugged locks completely replace outdated, flimsy handles that constantly loosen and let the lights slip over time. Once you lock them in, the lights stay aimed exactly where you want them, even through high winds and heavy site vibrations.

Automatic dusk-to-dawn lighting

You do not have to waste manpower sending someone across the job site just to turn the lights on and off every day. Thanks to our Photocell technology, this intelligent tower automatically turns its lights on when the sun goes down and shuts them off when morning arrives. If the battery begins running low during a long night, a smart "eco-mode" will gently dim the lights to stretch out the battery life until sunrise. It is a completely hands-off system that keeps your site safe while saving valuable labor time.

Tough enough for punishing job sites

This light tower is built like a tank to survive the rough realities of daily job site abuse. Its outer body is made of a patented, double-walled plastic shell called RedRock that shrugs off heavy impacts, scratches, dents, and rust. Up top, the premium LED lights carry elite industrial protection ratings, meaning they can easily handle flying debris and high-pressure power washes. You get a rugged machine that keeps looking professional and working perfectly without needing expensive cosmetic repairs.

Custom-built for your crew's needs

Every job site has different challenges, which is why you can customize this tower to perfectly match your team's routine. You can choose handy mechanical upgrades like an electric winch to raise the light mast with the push of a button. You can also add smart GPS tracking to monitor your equipment from your phone, anti-glare covers to protect oncoming drivers, or even have the canopy painted in your company's custom brand colors. It is a versatile tool built to fit your exact business.
