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 65.
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
one single fan.
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 threshold
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 canopy is
made out of polyethylene plastic.
The HiLight H6+ can be lifted by using the lifting eye
integrated in the bodywork (roof). Double galvanized
forklift slots 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 95). 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 5 mast sections and can be extended up to
about 8 metres in 25 sec. It is operated by up and
down buttons. The mast can be rotated through 340°.
The HiLight H6+ provides 4 LED floodlights of
350 Watt.
The HiLight H6+ DC provides 4 LED floodlights of
320 Watt.
Each lamp can be separately positioned and inclined.
