Transportable enough to fit in the back of an ute, and offering a lighting range up to five times greater than quartz light alternatives, the Allmand Port-A-Lite has been launched locally by CAPS Australia.

“The Allmand Port-A-Lite is an affordable, heavy-duty lighting tower solution that offers a unique alternative for the Australian market,” says CAPS Australia portable products marketing manager Richard Sweet.

“They are not only highly compact with the height adjustable up to 3.65m, but they are easily transportable around job sites. The direction of the light can also be adjusted in all directions without tools.”

Powerful enough to provide safe working illumination for a large area, the Port-A-Lite comes in two models, with either one or two lamps. The lamps feature super high output 1000W metal halide lamps capable of producing 110,000 lumens per lamp.

“This gives users a solution to effectively and efficiently illuminate most work sites, working from a standard 240V, 10A domestic power point,” Richard adds.

The new Allmand lighting towers complement the range of other portable equipment available from CAPS and are ideal for companies requiring temporary lighting. CAPS anticipates that the Port-A-Lite lighting tower solution will be most useful in work situations such as concrete finishing, paving, masonry, roofing, excavation, mining, refining, quarrying and demolition. Port-a-Lites are also suitable for waterfronts, training sites, and special events.

Built tough to withstand a range of arduous operating environments, the units are constructed in the US and feature heavy duty construction.
