MARKET REPORT HEATING & LIGHTING continued
TowerLight looks ahead
Lighting manufacturer, TowerLight, reports that it has identified four key areas to address in its development of new products, namely energy saving, a decrease in carbon output, reduced transport expenditure and lower labour costs. Amongst measures to address these concerns, the
company has selected fuel-efficient, low-emission engines for use in lighting towers that have compact dimensions, enabling more units to be transported on a single vehicle. This reduces transport rates and helps to lower vehicle pollution, as fewer deliveries are needed.TowerLight has calculated that, whereas six conventional up-and-over lighting sets can be loaded onto a typical vehicle, nine of its VT-1 vertical mast tower lights will fit onto the same truck.
Diverse Andrews Sykes range
Andrews Sykes’ vast heating equipment hire line-up includes the DE range of electric fan heaters, which has been offered within the UK and Europe for over 20 years. The company’s overall offering includes units for 110, 230 and 415V supplies, with capacities from 2.8kW up to 40kW in single portable units. The direct fired heating range comprises compact, portable machines designed to provide safe, controllable heat in locations such as factories, warehouses, sports halls, churches, loading bays and farm buildings. Indirect fired heaters are suitable for providing large volumes of clean, dry heat. With the addition of an outlet spigot and flexible ducting, the warm air can also be distributed to more inaccessible locations. Andrews Sykes recently added the Aurora range of indirect oil fired heaters,
developed to meet demand for very fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly heaters that are robust and portable. The machines are claimed to give 92% or more heat efficiency, with reduced running costs and lower emissions. High capacity heaters are available for heating spaces of up to 8,457m3
.
The equipment incorporates industrial burner assemblies and fans capable of high pressures, generating the required power even when long lengths of ducting are used.

TowerLight also offers the VT-1+ Eco 9m vertical mast lighting set, which has a light detection sensor and auto stop/start mechanism that automatically switches on the unit when the ambient light has descended to a pre-determined level. It closes down the lighting set when sufficient brightness rises and this alleviates the need for operatives to travel around a site manually starting and stopping the equipment. Currently nearing completion is the new Eco-V9 lighting
tower, limited numbers of which will be available for the forthcoming season. Power comes from a Euro-3 regulation compliant Hatz diesel engine fitted with electric auto start. The 4 x 150W lamp version gives a run time of 340 hours between refuelling, while the 4 x 400W model provides 200 hours’ operation. TowerLight has released a new brochure, called A Green
and Brighter Future, detailing the technical specifications and environmental benefits of its latest lighting additions.

Wacker Neuson’s light balloon range is designed to offer glare-free lighting with the benefit of easy portability. The LB1 model incorporates a white, translucent fabric to evenly spread the light generated by the metal halide lamp, and to provide nearly shadow-free illumination of a sizeable work area. The mast measures 5m high and the main unit neatly folds into a carrying cylinder for transportation. The company also offers a range of indirect
heaters, designed to prevent products of combustion being introduced into the area being heated, as well as offering economy of use. Heating capacities range from 29-81kW, with large specialist machines being available to suit a variety of applications.
