Allight Highlights Australian Manufacturing with Milestone Lighting Tower
Designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia, the EnviroLight MS4.5K9 Mine Series lighting tower will be the 7000th tower produced by Allight and is expected to be completed by the end of April.
Once out of production, the tower will be presented to Coates Hire West and transferred to Barrow Island to provide turtle-friendly lighting for the Gorgon Project.
“We’re thrilled that this landmark piece of equipment is destined for local shores, where it’s going to be used as a safe lighting system in a sensitive environment,” said Allight’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Paul Sowerby.
Developed by Allight in response to the pressing need for an environmentally and ecologically-friendly lighting solution, the MS4.5K9 lighting tower will be one of several units used by Coates Hire to power construction work on the Gorgon project.
According to Sowerby, the EnviroLight system functions in a way that significantly reduces the threat to local wildlife without compromising site safety or production efficiency.
The lighting tower will be officially presented to Coates Hire at a special function to be held in Perth next month.
“The event will be much more than a celebration of the milestone. It will provide an opportunity to celebrate the cutting edge of Australian technology and acknowledge this crucial step forward in delivering much-needed environmental solutions.”
“We’re looking forward to formally thanking Coates Hire for their continued support and officially recognising the efforts of our local manufacturing team,” concluded Sowerby.
Allight began manufacturing mobile lighting towers at a dedicated production facility in Perth over 20 years ago. Today, the company supplies a range of mobile lighting towers alongside Godwin pumps, Perkins diesel engines, FG Wilson generators and Rotair air compressors.
The EnviroLight’s sodium vapour lights emit a softer yellow glow instead of the usual harsh, white light, which can disorient the endangered flat-head turtles nesting on Barrow Island’s A-class nature reserve.
