“ All models share the ability to withstand the rigours of mining , infrastructure and industrial environments ,” says Spann . “ As a leader in pumping solutions , we can offer the range with the same attention to quality , support and maintenance that our customers have become accustomed to .”
At the smaller end of the range is the QubePower Mini – an ultra-compact , petrol driven unit with a 10-foot extendable tower with 400W LED lights . In the mid-range is the QubePower model , a medium sized lighting tower powered by an air-cooled diesel engine and with its compact footprint this model allows more towers to be carried per truckload .
“ For big projects , we offer the QubePower Max , which is a large format tower light powered by a water-cooled diesel engine , ideal for use in extreme and demanding conditions ,” he explains . “ For customers needing higher specifications , this solution can be enhanced with larger fuel tanks and hydraulically powered towers .”

Olikara ’ s QubePower is the only range of lighting towers in the world that offers a manual tilting option for the lamp .
The range ’ s QubeSolar model is a tower that runs off green energy , with solar panels and battery storage to ensure long runtimes . The success of the QubePower solutions is demonstrated by their penetration into regions including North America , Asia and Australia . Used in climates where temperatures drop as low as minus 40 ° C , and rise up to 55 ° C , says Spann , their quality design and manufacture ensure lower maintenance and longer working life .
He highlights that this range of lighting is the only range in the world that offers a manual tilting option for the lamp . Enhancing the safety of the equipment is the worm-winch , for a lower load when raising the tower ; this is a safer alternative to the ratchet winch since the basic gear design is self-locking .
“ The modular design ensures that the lighting towers are futureproof , and that all new innovations fit the existing towers ,” he says . “ This extends the life of the light towers , while allowing customers to benefit from the latest technologies .” •
