Genie has released two

Genie AL6 series lighting
towers.
Australian designed and
manufactured in Sydney,
there are two AL6 light tower
models available, the 6000
watt Genie AL6-6000 and
9000 watt Genie AL6-9000.
Both feature a compact
chassis, Kubota diesel
engine, retractable drawbar
and hydraulic mast. Where
applications require, mine
specification and hydraulic
outriggers are also available.
Genie launches rugged lighting tower
When fully extended, the
mast height of the AL6-6000
light tower reaches 8.40m.
When retracted and stowed,
the overall height of the
trailer is 2.3m. Total weight
for towing is approximately
1500kg. A 160 litre fuel tank
provides sufficient diesel fuel
for approximately 70 hours of
continuous operation.
According to Brad Lawrence,
General Manager of Genie
Australia, the key features
behind the Genie AL6 series
light towers relate to ease of
set up and operation. With the
Aggreko, temporary power and
temperature control supplier, has signed a
deal with PNG Power (PPL) that will see it
lease 10 megawatts (MW) to the Moitaka
Power Station, part of the Port Moresby
System.
The Temporary Power Rental Agreement
was signed off by PPL Chief Executive
Officer, John Tangit and Aggreko Head
of Operations for Australia, New Zealand
and Pacific, Phillip Lendich in Papua New
Guinea.
The purpose of the deal is to increase the
power capacity of the city and minimise
the incidence of power outages in Port
Moresby following an increase in demand
10 megawatt power station in Port Moresby
for electricity in the
region.
“Aggreko has a strong
relationship with PPL,
having worked together
on a number of projects
dating back to 1997.
We believe this new
power solution will be
instrumental for the
continued growth and
development of Port
Moresby and Papua New
Guinea,” Phillip Lendich
said.
The Agreement
drawbar retracted and the mast stowed,
six AL6-6000 units can be carried on a
standard flatbed truck.
“On site, the hydraulic mast allows
operators to set up the lighting tower
with minimal effort. With this unit, there
is no need for winches and cables; once
the outriggers have been deployed, set
up is easily achieved with the flick of a
switch and the three stage mast is up and
working.
“The mast can be manually rotated while
the light head can be tilted electrically
from the ground control station for precise
illumination of the work area.”
