Introducing the DLT‑18HD

The DLT-18HD combines high-output LED performance with rugged, fuel-efficient diesel power in a compact, mobile package.

Its corrosion-resistant steel cabinet, advanced control system, and powerful hydraulic mast make it the ideal portable diesel light tower for round-the-clock industrial jobsite lighting.

Whether you’re illuminating a roadwork site or a remote energy installation, the DLT‑18HD will keep your jobsite moving safely and efficiently.

 

Fuel Efficient by Design

Compared to conventional 20kW diesel generator towers, Axiom’s 18kVA DLT-18HD can save up to 45 litres of fuel per day.

Its oversized 240-litre fuel tank supports extended operations – up to 62.5 hours at 75% load – with fewer refuels, reducing downtime, fuel costs, and manpower.

It also includes a fully-integrated cold weather package as a standard built-in feature, ensuring dependable starts and efficient fuel use in sub-zero temperatures at no additional cost.

 

Engine Protection and LED Visibility

The DLT-18HD includes a built-in 35% automatic load leveler, which helps prevent wet stacking, underloading, and wear during light use periods.

Dual internal LED service lights make it easy to check fluid levels or service electrical components in low light, keeping maintenance simple, fast, and safe.

With four 320W LED fixtures producing a combined 180,000 lumens, this unit delivers powerful, even coverage across large worksites, with an auto dusk-to-dawn sensor for intelligent, energy-saving operation.

 

Built for Construction and Industrial Jobsites

Every detail of the DLT-18HD is engineered for tough conditions, from its galvanized hydraulic mast to its 110% Protect-E secondary fluid containment. Designed to meet the demands of:

  • Remote oil and gas operations
  • Large-scale construction projects
