Light
towers is a part of a mobile equipment, which has one or more
high-power electric lamps with mast. The light or light panel is
attached to the mast. This mast is fixed or adjustable, which is
attached to a trailer having a generator set to power the light
panels. Light towers are used for illuminating the area of work,
which is usually remote and off the main power grid. Generally, these
light towers have lamps made of metal halide bulbs and the generator
uses diesel engines for powering these lamps.
In
recent times, battery-powered lamps, solar-powered lamps, and
hydrogen fuel cell lamps are also being used as an alternative for
metal halide lamps. The mast of the light tower can be fixed,
adjustable, or inflatable. If the mast is adjustable, it can be fixed
up to the desired height for a specific application or location. Some
manufacturers provide inflatable masts, which are made of synthetic
fabric cloth that can be inflated by blowing air.
Light
towers are used for outdoor remote operations or locations that are
difficult to connect with the main power grid. These operations
involve construction activity (remote as well as general), oil &
gas industry operations, mining operation, and emergency and rescue
operation. Being mobile and portable, light towers can be moved
easily from one location to another in an onsite operation. Apart
from these industrial applications, light towers can also be used to
illuminate highly remote and distant villages. In this application,
solar-powered light towers are generally used. Light tower units are
equipped with solar panels as well as backup fuel generators. These
units can provide emission-less, carbon-free renewable power to
remote locations.
The
ever-increasing demand for energy has accelerated operations in the
oil & gas industry and the mining industry. This is one of the
major drivers for the light towers market. Operations in these two
industries are often too remote and they involve high risks. The oil
and gas & mining sites, being away from the main power grid,
generate power locally by using heavy-duty generators. The need for
light towers in these operations is vital for illuminating any
desired location onsite for any specific operation. Increased
infrastructure activities such as highway construction, railway line
construction and maintenance, bridge construction, and other civil
activities is another driver for the light towers market. Emergency
and rescue operation is a major task of police, military, and
firefighters. This operation often involves working at night in
remote locations. Inflatable light towers may serve emergency &
rescue forces because these light towers are easy to carry and
operate.
North
America is emerging as one of the leading exporters of fossil fuel,
owing to increased shale oil exploration and drilling activities in
the region. These activities require light towers for routine
operations. Middle East & Africa is known for its activities in
the oil industry. The region is likely to become a lucrative market
for light towers in the next few years. The light towers market in
Europe is also likely to expand in the near future, owing to shift
toward renewable energy in the region. Asia Pacific is home to some
of the leading petroleum refineries in the world. Crude oil
transportation pipeline construction activities for these refineries
require light towers. Moreover, countries in Asia Pacific such as
India, China, and Australia are developing their mining areas. The
increased mining activity is another growth opportunity for the light
towers market in the region.
