Lighting masts are designed for illumination of working sites (pits, transect, etc) with
no stationary power supply. Their design features are fuel tank of higher volume,
diesel generator for 24 V direct current, lighting system with LED lamps.

Tracking device is mounted on the mast (equipment geolocation, transmitting data
on location and fuel volume in tank).

There are two types of lighting masts:
ьsingle mast (fuel tank volume 255 L, 3 kW one-cylinder engine, fuel consumption
0,6 L per hour, current 100 À, 4000 lamps);
ьdouble mast (fuel tank volume 425 L, 5 kW two-cylinder engine, fuel consumption
1 L per hour, current 200 À, 6000 lamps).
