Larson Electronics MegaTower 50' Pneumatic Megatower™ - 21 Foot Trailer -Extends 13-49 Feet -Mount Lights and Equipment

Made in Texas ***Please note, LED lights are NOT included*** The Larson Electronics PLM-50-5S-TLR trailer mounted fold over 7-stage Megatower™ provides a safe and effective mounting option for operators to use various light heads to elevations up to fifty feet. This pneumatic light tower folds over for easy transportation, features a hydraulic ram upright assist, and air powered pneumatic mast. A mast head capable of mounting up to sixteen light heads allows operators to mount lights and equipment to the top of the pneumatic mast. The entire assembly is mounted onto a 21` by 8` tandem axle trailer, allowing operators to transport this fold over boom from location to location. *PLEASE NOTE: ANY FREE SHIPPING OFFERS DO NOT APPLY TO LIGHT MASTS OR LIGHT TOWERS* This telescoping seven stage pneumatic Megatower™ from Larson Electronics is designed to allow operators to quickly and safely deploy lighting in locations where illumination must be elevated to heights up to 49` for effective coverage. This light boom can be extended to 49` for maximum area coverage, and collapsed to 13` for applications where a footprint smaller is required. The tower is constructed of heat treated aluminum tubing with 2.69` foot of overlap per section. The mast is elevated using an included hydraulic ram, and extended to its full height using a trailer mounted air compressor. Click Images to Enlarge Telescoping Boom: The pneumatic telescoping boom is constructed of heat treated aluminum with an anodized finish and extends up 58` in height. This boom is raised from and lowered to the folded position by a single hydraulic ram, and extended or retracted by pneumatic system with equipped air compressor. Mast Head: A 90" x 110" steel mast head is mounted to the top of the pneumatic telescoping boom. This allows operators to mount user provided lights and equipment to the mast head for elevating to heights up to 50`. Wiring/Controls: Wiring for the customer provided light heads are grouped into banks of four. Each bank in wired into the NEMA 3R breaker control box at the base of the mast. Operators control the light heads via an on/off switched breaker per bank of four light heads. The air compressor and battery charger are also powered from within this breaker box. Power is provided to the control box via a 20` 10/4 SOOW whip with flying leads for connected to terminal mount gensets. Operators supply 240/120V or 208/120V (depending on the configuration) to the light plant. The mast elevation is controlled by a push button switch to operate the hydraulic ram, allowing operators to raise the mast to the upright position. The vertical deployment is operated by an up/down level, allowing operators to extend it to its full 58` height or retract it to the collapsed height. Trailer: The entire unit is mounted onto a four wheel, tandem axle trailer constructed of 8" box steel equipped with axles. Each axle is rated at 7,000 lbs and equipped with P235/80R16 tubeless tires and wheels. The rear axle is equipped with electric brakes. Tongue weight is rated at 650 lbs and an adjustable 3” lunnett eye for pintle hitches provides secure hookup to tow vehicles. A single 7,000 lbs rated tongue jack provides a stable connect-disconnect platform as well as additional stability during tower deployment. Standard heavy duty safety chains are included. This trailer also includes a front mounted storage area for stowing tools and accessories. The trailer is finished in industrial grade Dupont™ paint for protection against rust and corrosion and provides an attractive finish. Overall dimensions of the entire trailer and boom assembly in the stowed for travel configuration is 21` long by 7’ wide. Six 7,000 lbs hand crank jacks are used for raising the trailer up off the ground, and four 7,000 lbs hand crank jacks mounted on extending outriggers are used for leveling and stabilizing the trailer assembly. Each of the four jacks are attached to a pivoting outrigger constructed of 6` by 6" by 6.3" steel I-beams. The jacks can be leveled by hand crank or attachment provided for power drills. These outriggers can be extended 6` out from the side of the trailer for added stability. This light plant can withstand 35 mph winds when fully extended. When lowered to 30`, the mast can withstand 50 mph winds. When lowered to 22`, the mast can withstand wind speeds up to 95 mph with gusts of 125 mph. Custom builds can be provided for higher wind speed resistance when fully raised. We offer a choice of finishing, equipped light heads, and with or without gensets. These towers can be fitted with Larson Electronics line of high output light heads, or customize the mast head to meet the mounting requirements for your equipment. Optional diesel generators and fuel cells can be equipped from factory, or retrofitted after purchase. Click Images to enlarge. The above images show a side by side comparison of the light output between our LED light plant and a traditional four lamp metal halide light plant. The left image shows the metal halide light plant raised to 30` and illuminating a 50,000 sq ft work area with four 1000 watt metal halide light fixtures. The right image shows the LM-50-5S-TLR-16X400LTL-LED light plant raised to 50`, illuminating the same 50,000 sq ft work area with sixteen 500 watt LED fixtures. Notice how the color and intensity of the work area is greatly improved when lit up by the LED fixtures. Click Images to enlarge. The left image above shows the light mast illuminating a 300,000+ sq ft area. The yellow billboard in the image reaches 40 lux, while the fence at the tree line (500`+ away from the tower) reaches 35 lux. This image was taken from 50` behind the mast and at 100` above ground level. The image to the right shows the work space 75` in front of the mast, with the entire area work area reaching over 100 lux. The mast was extended to 35`. The left image above shows the same 300,000+ sq ft area being illuminated. In the background you can see a vehicle with their headlights on, barely able to be seen in comparison to the LM-50-5S-TLR-16X400LTL-LED light plant. This image was taken at 80` to the right of the mast and 175` above ground level. The mast was extended to 35`.

Cold Weather Package: The PLM-50-5S-TLR is designed to withstand extreme cold environments and harsh winters. The pneumatic system is equipped with a de-icing system to prevent the air compressor, air lines, and pneumatic mast from freezing from moisture building within the air system. This de-icing system uses an environmentally friendly (non-toxic) fluid. All air lines are equipped with cold weather rated hydraulic hoses rated for -65¡C and fitted with metallic hardware. The air compressor consists of an oil-less unit equipped with an aluminum air regulator, stainless steel ball valves, and stainless steel valve controls. The head of the air compressor is wrapped with heat trace to prevent the compressor from freezing over in subzero temperatures. All the pneumatic controls are housed within an insulated and weather tight enclosure. This pneumatic control box features 1/2" thick polystyrene foam insulation and heat trace. The hydraulic system features -65¡ C cold weather rated rubber hydraulic hoses with metallic fittings and a cold weather rated high viscosity hydraulic fluid. The battery system that powers the hydraulic system features a cold weather rated sealed acid glass mat 12 volt battery wrapped in a heated battery blanket. A cold weather rated battery charger keeps the 12 volt battery charged. All battery components are enclosed within a NEMA 3R housing. All electrical components are wired using cold weather rated SOOW cable with rated to -50¡C that features high flexibility, and extreme abrasion, acid, oil, and water resistance even in sub-zero climates.
