2.3 Mechanical features
The mechanical features described in this chapter are
standard provided on this light tower. For all optional
mechanical features, see chapter “Overview of the
mechanical options” on page 71.
2.3.1 Engine and alternator
The alternator is driven by a water-cooled diesel
engine. The engine’s power is transmitted through a
direct conical coupling.
The light tower houses a single bearing alternator
with a dedicated excitation system for light tower
application.
The synchronous brushless alternator has Class H
rotor and stator windings in an IP21 housing.
2.3.2 Cooling system
The engine and alternator are air cooled by means of
mechanical fans. An additional electrical fan is
installed to guarantee maximum cooling efficiency.
2.3.3 Safety devices
The unit controller monitors the engine and electrical
parameters and generates warning and shutdown
signals when the parameters reach a preset treshold
value.
2.3.4 Bodywork
The alternator, the engine, the cooling system, etc. are
enclosed in a sound-insulated bodywork that can be
opened by means of service doors.
The HiLight B6+ can be lifted by using the lifting eye
integrated in the bodywork (roof). Double galvanized
forklift pockets are provided in the frame, to allow
lifting of the unit from both sides.
2.3.5 Control panel
The control panel grouping the controller, fuses,
automatic switches sockets, etc., is accessible by
opening the door at the front.
2.3.6 Data plate and serial number
The light tower is furnished with a data plate showing
the product code, serial number and power output (see
chapter “Data plate” on page 92). It is located on the
left corner panel, below the emergency stop button.
2.3.7 Filler caps
The fuel filler cap and oil filler cap are located inside
the unit. They are easily accessible by opening the
front door.
2.3.8 Spillage free frame
A spillage free frame with forklift slots allows the
customer to transport the light tower easily with a
forklift. It avoids accidental spilling of engine fluids
and thus helps to protect the environment.
The leaking fluid can be removed via a drain hole,
secured by a drain plug. Tighten the plug firmly and
check for leakages. When removing the leaking fluid,
observe all relevant local legislation.
2.3.9 Mast and floodlights
The 100% galvanized hydraulic light tower mast
consists of 6 mast sections and can be extended up to
8 metres in 25 sec. It is operated by up and down
buttons. The mast can be rotated through 340°.
The light tower provides 4 LEDs of 350 Watt with a
maximum lighting capacity of 154.000 lumen. Each
lamp can be separately positioned and inclined.
