ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE
The new Softlite LED by Powerlite
Generators is designed and
manufactured in Australia for Australian
conditions including an LED thermal
management system.
The Powerlite Softlite LED features
four high density polyethylene
lenses, aluminium construction,
2.6KW operation giving a non-blinding
360º light with the added feature
of down beam allowing the area
immediately under the light to be fully
illuminated eliminating dark areas and
shadows. The Towers will incorporate
4 x 640w, 20v-60v/DC non-directional
pods that output 350,000 lumens (before
diffuser losses) which can be further
controlled by a three position dimmer
switch.
With an IP66 rating the Softlite LED
can withstand harsh environments.
The Softlite is cooled by an aluminium
heat sink centre core which creates a
convection vortex that keeps the light
cool during operation. Softlite LED can
be paired with the SMC Lighting Tower
or can be retro fitted; also available as
individual pods.

Hinos go beyond million kilometres
Hino trucks have been serving fencing and
event hire company, TFH Hire Services, for
more than 20 years.
TFH Hire Services runs a fleet of over 60
Hino trucks at its Sydney and Queensland
headquarters, some of which have clocked
up over 1.3 million kilometres.
Operations Manager Stephen Sheehan
said some of the oldest models have been
on the road since 1992 and are still going
strong after delivering well over one
million kilometres of service.
“They’re still running well, and while we
refurbish them from time to time the fact
they’re still performing is a real testament
to how well they’re built,” he said.
The vast majority of the Hinos have been
purchased through the Sci-Fleet dealership
in south-east Queensland, and when
it came time to upgrade with two new
trucks recently TFH Hire Services had no
hesitation in ordering the trucks through
them again.
“We could have considered another brand,
but we’ve had excellent service from the
Hinos and the people at Sci-Fleet, so it

just made sense to upgrade from the Hino
range,” Mr Sheehan said.
TFH Hire Services ordered two 500 Series
FC 1022 Proshift 6 models, with the
potential for another two in the near future.
"They'll be used for the growing portable
toilet hire part of our business and we
needed a larger truck to handle the bigger
loads. They'll be ideal with the longer
wheelbase, 162kW of power and six-speed
ProShift automatic transmission."
Apart from the reliability and durability
of the Hino fleet, the comfort features and
versatility have also been a standout for
TFH Hire Services.
"We service about 90% of the major
sporting and cultural events around the
country, so many of our trucks are doing
long-haul trips and comfort features
like cruise control, fully adjustable ISRI
6800 driver's seat, and comprehensive
multimedia systems are really appreciated
by the drivers," Mr Sheehan said.
Family-owned TFH Hire Services has over
30 branches nationwide.
