Yanmar Launches new Light Towers

Yanmar America partnered with Allmand Bros., Inc. at the 2020 ARA show in Orlando, Fla. to launch Allmand’s new Night-Lite GR-Series Light Towers, which are offered with optional Yanmar, air-cooled, heavy-duty diesel engines.

Jeff Holland, Industrial Engine Division Manager, Yanmar America said:

“We are excited to power Allmand’s new light tower release with our air-cooled diesel engines. By using air-cooled diesel technology, their customers will reduce required maintenance intervals, increase uptime, and lower their associated costs.”

Yanmar’s air-cooled L70W engine is a compact diesel option that lowers the cost of ownership across the board. Extended oil drain intervals save time and money spent on maintenance. Lower fuel consumption allows for 300-hour run times between fill-ups, which increases unit uptime. Their compact, light-weight, engine design ensures that customers can tow the unit with smaller vehicles and easily maneuver around the job site.

Holland said:

“This engine maintains YANMAR’s reputation for engine reliability, and durability –no matter what. The ability to start reliably in a large range of temperatures and conditions allows for simple, easy, and hassle-free operation.”

The L70W is able to operate in extreme weather conditions – from -6 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. This promotes extended equipment reliability when used in a GR-Series Allmand Light Tower.

Joan Westwater, Product Manager Job Site, Allmand said:

“The new, compact, GR-Series Light Towers offer customers the flexibility of several powertrain options, including air-cooled diesel, gasoline, or a towable chain unit, and further expands our portfolio of leading job site and special event lighting solutions,”  

Allmand Bros., Inc., is a subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton Corporation and a manufacturer of high-performance portable job site equipment. Their new product, Night-Lite GR-Series Light Towers, featuring optional Yanmar L70W air-cooled engines was displayed at ARA 2020.

Holland said:

“We look forward to the future of our partnership with Allmand. And we are excited to continue to provide a reliable, durable, lightweight diesel engine option to power their job site products and support their customers.”
