Advanced Portable Light Towers for Modern Mining Operations
Shining a Light on Modern Mining
Lighting is an essential part of maintaining safe, efficient, and productive mining, drilling, construction, oil and gas, and emergency response operations. Whether working deep into the night or in areas with limited daylight, reliable illumination is a non-negotiable requirement. The Atlas Copco light tower range, known as the HiLight series, delivers robust and dependable lighting performance for remote and demanding worksites. With designs tailored for mobility, efficiency, and durability, each portable light tower in the lineup ensures miners have the visibility they need to work with confidence.
Tough Enough for Remote & Harsh Conditions

Mining and drilling environments are often unforgiving. From the coal pits of Sumatra, Indonesia, to the deep well drilling sites of Samui Island, Thailand, operations demand equipment that can endure rugged terrain, fluctuating weather, and extended working hours. The Atlas Copco portable light tower range is designed precisely for these conditions, delivering reliable illumination and performance wherever it’s needed. In Lahat, the HiLight B7+ provided over 7,000 m² of bright coverage with 4×350 W LED lamps, outperforming competitors while consuming less fuel. Meanwhile, at Samui’s deep well projects, the HiLight V5+ enabled drilling teams to continue operations beyond daylight hours—improving productivity, efficiency, and on-site safety even through the night.
Reducing Downtime and Enhancing Safety
A dependable LED light tower does more than illuminate—it keeps operations running. At mining and drilling sites across Indonesia and Thailand, operators experienced delays whenever work extended beyond daylight, forcing night-shift interruptions and reducing productivity. With solutions such as the HiLight B7+ in Sumatera and the HiLight V5+ in Samui, teams were able to maintain continuous operations through the night, avoiding costly next-day carryovers caused by insufficient lighting. High-quality illumination also supports compliance with strict safety and operational standards, protecting both personnel and productivity. In environments where uptime and site visibility are critical, reliable lighting becomes a strategic investment.
Proven Performance: HiLight V7+ and V5+ NEO in Action
The HiLight V7+ LED light tower is designed to deliver measurable benefits in the field. Compared to traditional metal halide units, it offers up to 60% fuel savings and reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 70%. Quiet operation at just 63 dB(A) minimizes noise impact, while the robust HardHat® canopy protects vital components from damage. The rotatable mast extends to 7.5 m and remains stable in winds up to 80 km/h, ensuring wide, precise light coverage. Meanwhile, the HiLight V5+ Neo delivers extended runtimes of up to 245 hours per refuel, reducing site interruptions and increasing efficiency.
