Mobile Light Tower
A mobile light tower is a diesel generator with a telescopic mast carrying four powerful lamps, lighting large areas for night construction, mining, events and emergency response. OCALWA supplies towable light towers with LED or metal-halide lamps and a mast to around 9 metres, from a verified factory, for sale and rental across the Americas.
Turn night into day on site
A small diesel genset powers four LED or metal-halide floodlights on a mast that raises hydraulically or manually to about 9 metres and rotates 340 degrees, covering thousands of square metres. LED lamps use less fuel, last far longer and light instantly, while metal-halide is a low-cost option.

Configurations & options
Lamp type, mast height and run time are matched to your site. Tell us the area to light, LED or metal-halide, and whether you need auto-start or hybrid battery and we specify the tower.
Why choose a light tower
Light large areas fast
Four high-output lamps on a 9 m mast cover thousands of square metres, keeping night shifts safe and productive.
LED saves fuel
LED lamps draw far less power and last for many thousands of hours, cutting fuel burn and lamp replacement versus metal-halide.
Tow, level, light
Towable and outrigger-stabilised, it deploys in minutes at a new site or after a storm, and rents out well.

Frequently asked questions
LED costs a little more upfront but uses much less fuel, lasts many thousands of hours, lights instantly and survives rough handling, so it wins on total cost for regular use and rental. Metal-halide is cheaper to buy and still bright, suiting occasional use. We supply both and advise on your usage.
It depends on lamp output, mast height and how much light level you need, but one tower commonly covers several thousand square metres for general work lighting. For large sites you space several towers. Tell us the area and required light level and we work out how many towers and what lamps.
Yes. Because it is built around a diesel genset, many models add auxiliary socket outlets so you can run tools or a site cabin from the same unit while the lights are on. Tell us if you need power take-off and we spec the outlets and spare capacity.
The set uses mainstream international engines whose oil, fuel and air filters, belts and pumps are widely stocked across Latin America. We also supply a starter spares kit and can re-order alternator parts, the controller, AVR and hoses so downtime stays short.
Yes. We build 50 Hz or 60 Hz and set the voltage to your grid (for example 120/240V, 220/380V or 240/416V, single or three phase). Latin America is mostly 60 Hz. Tell us your country's frequency, voltage and phase and we configure the alternator and controller accordingly.
Standby rating is for backup when the grid fails, used a limited number of hours a year at varying load. Prime rating is for continuous running as the main power source, at a lower rated output for the same set. If it is your only power, size on prime; if it is grid backup, size on standby. We rate it to how you will actually run it.
Yes. Beyond the bare set we supply the automatic transfer switch (ATS), starting batteries, connection cables, remote monitoring and a starter spares kit, from a verified factory (ISO 9001 + CE). OCALWA arranges container or RORO shipping and full export documentation, and regularly ships to Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Paraguay and the Dominican Republic, quoting FOB, CFR or CIF.
