general information

The Multiquip LT6D Series Light Tower is a dedicated general purpose light tower engineered to provide dependable lighting for a wide range of applications. This includes lighting for construction sites, industrial locations, special events, and emergency conditions.

Metal Halide Lamps

The lighting system of the LT6D is comprised of 4 metal halide, 1000-watt lamps. These lights provide maximum illumination with typical lighting coverage of 5 to 7 acres. The lights are controlled by two 20 amp circuit breakers. Each breaker will turn on a pair of lights (top/bottom).

ENGINE

The LT6D is powered by a Kohler, 3-cylinder, water cooled, direct injection, 12 HP diesel engine that is equipped with automatic shutdowns for low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, and alternator charge failure.

STABILITY

The light tower mast has a maximum vertical height of 31.5 feet (9.6 meters) and can be raised by means of a manual winch. The tower tensioning system is designed to provide the necessary tension to safely control the pivot of the tower. The light tower has a wind stability of up to 65 mph with outriggers and jackstands fully deployed.

PANEL LIGHT

A panel light automatically illuminates the control panel when the engine access door is opened (fuel tank side). This feature is convenient for night deployment.

CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES

The LT6D is equipped with two auxiliary output receptacles located on the control panel. To gain access to these receptacles, simply lift the side panel door on the fuel tank side of the generator.

The uppermost receptacle (twist-lock) can provide 240 VAC @ 25 amps or 125 VAC @ 25 amps X2 . The bottom receptacle is a GFCI receptacle which can supply 120 VAC at 15 amps. These receptacles can be used for light power tools or other similar applications.

FUEL TANK

The 34-gallon fuel tank provides up to 72.5 hours of run time while running at 3/4 load.

TRAILER DESIGN

The trailer design of the LT6D light tower withstands the rigors of normal highway towing and jobsite environments. The trailer is engineered to DOT and is in compliance to the standards of the National Association of Trailers (NATM).
