How Axiom Metro Light Towers Helped Jobsite Cut Fuel Costs by Over 50%

Challenge

Jobsite Industrial Rental Services, a company committed to efficiency, cost savings, and innovation, first approached us in 2022 looking for a smarter lighting solution for a large-scale project in Eastern Canada.

While diesel-powered light towers were the industry standard in 2022, they presented Jobsite with 4 major challenges:

• High fuel costs
• Frequent maintenance issues
• Labour-intensive refueling requirements
• Environmental impact from emissions

Jobsite was looking for a way to reduce its costs and improve sustainability without compromising performance. After evaluating multiple options, they turned to Axiom for a more efficient, electric-powered lighting solution.

Axiom’s Solution: Smarter, More Efficient Lighting

To help Jobsite reduce costs and improve sustainability, we recommended our Metro Light Towers – a compact, powerful, and energy-efficient alternative to traditional diesel towers.

When Jobsite put Axiom’s Metro Light Towers to the test, the difference was immediate.

“Metro Lights are taller than their competitors, more compact, and way more robust. We saw the value in the product almost immediately,” said Jobsite’s General Manager, Paul Hagan.

Starting with a small batch, Jobsite quickly scaled up as customers experienced the real-world benefits. By Spring 2023, they were preparing for a large-scale refinery project in Ontario -a job that typically required 60 to 100 diesel light towers.

We worked closely with Jobsite to develop a custom lighting plan that cut diesel usage by over 50%, delivering major cost savings while reducing environmental impact – all without compromising performance.

Results: Cost Savings, Reliability and Sustainability

By integrating Metro Light Towers, Jobsite and its client achieved three major wins:

Significant Cost Savings

• The elimination of fuel and labour costs associated with refueling diesel light towers saved the customer thousands of dollars.
• Over 50% of the lights used on-site were Metro Lights, slashing diesel consumption.

Sustainability and Carbon Reduction

• Switching to electric light towers meant a major reduction in emissions, helping the client meet its sustainability goals.
• “Sustainability is such a huge win for our customers these days,” said Jobsite’s Paul Hagan.

Unmatched Reliability and Ease of Use

• Diesel light towers require frequent maintenance due to engine breakdowns. In contrast, Metro Lights simply plug in, turn on at dusk, and turn off at dawn – maintenance-free.

“The electric tower lights, you plug them in, they turn on with a photo cell, they turn back off with the photo cell in the morning, and they are pretty well maintenance-free,” said Paul. Additionally, Axiom’s technical support team was available whenever Jobsite needed assistance, which was another big benefit for Jobsite’s GM.  “All we have to do is pick up the phone and call. If our techs need something, their people are right there, helping us through challenges,” he said.

Final Thoughts: A Trusted Partnership for the Future

The success of our Metro Lights has reinforced Jobsite’s commitment to working with Axiom Equipment Group. Their growing fleet of over 100 Metro Lights continues to deliver results for customers nationwide.

And we love hearing feedback like this:

“Our business is about trust. If our customers can’t trust us to deliver quality goods that are basically maintenance-free, we don’t have a business. Using products like the Metro Light from Axiom has done nothing but increase trust with our customers.”  Paul Hagan, General Manager, Jobsite Industrial Rental Service

With this partnership, Jobsite and Axiom are lighting the way toward a smarter, more efficient, and sustainable future.
