Introduction
Diesel bills eating up five figures a month? This is the nightmare haunting countless construction project managers.
In today’s era of soaring oil prices, worksite lighting is no longer just about "being bright enough." It requires a three-way balance of cost control, environmental compliance, and operational safety.
Addressing the pain points of construction lighting, Atlas Copco’s Wuxi R&D and manufacturing center presents the solution: HiLight MI 6 Hybrid Light Tower, a brand-new answer for construction crews.
The HiLight MI 6 Hybrid Light Tower features a Kubota engine paired with a lithium-ion energy storage system, offering four operating modes: all-electric, hybrid, diesel, and grid power. It delivers illumination coverage exceeding 6,000 square meters.
The "Mi 6" expands the possibilities of light tower applications. In standard hybrid mode, it achieves 310 hours of runtime on a single tank, bringing tangible cost savings amid high fuel prices. The HiLight MI 6 integrates high-performance lighting, intelligent energy management, and eco-friendly design, delivering reliable illumination for complex worksites.
PART 01 | Four Operating Modes – One Tower Does It All
The HiLight MI 6 supports flexible switching between four modes, balancing eco-friendliness, runtime, economy, and adaptability for complex scenarios:
1.Battery Mode: Zero emissions, ultra-low noise. Ideal for night construction in environmentally sensitive urban areas and emergency rescue scenarios.
2.Diesel Mode: Continuous, stable power supply. Backed by a 135L large-capacity fuel tank, delivering reliable performance even in extreme conditions.
3.Hybrid Mode: Automatically optimizes energy consumption. Achieves 310 hours of runtime on a single tank; fuel consumption at 100% brightness is only ~0.46L/h, delivering true “cost reduction and efficiency gains.”
4.Grid Mode: Flexibly connects to external power sources to adapt to any worksite conditions.
PART 02 | Robust LED Lighting – Reliable & Durable
Combining high-level protection with high-brightness LED lamp heads, the HiLight MI 6 offers extensive coverage and ample illumination, ensuring stable, reliable lighting even in harsh environments:
- IP69 Waterproof Rating, IK10 Impact Protection
- LED Configuration: 4 × 200W high-brightness lamp heads
- Maximum Illumination Range: 8,520 m² (at 1 lux)
- High-Brightness Coverage: 6,000 m² (at 20 lux)
PART 03 | High-Performance Battery System
A large-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery delivers safe, reliable all-electric runtime to meet extended lighting needs for night construction and silent worksites:
- Battery Type: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄)
- Rated Energy: 6.4 kWh
- All-Electric Runtime (100% Brightness): ~6.5 hours
PART 04 | Hydraulic Mast & Rapid Deployment
An energy-efficient diesel powertrain paired with a large-capacity fuel tank delivers “long runtime + low fuel consumption” in hybrid mode, significantly reducing operating costs:
- Engine: Kubota Z-482
- Fuel Consumption (Hybrid Mode, 100% Brightness): ~0.46 L/h
- Fuel Tank Capacity: 135 L
- Max Runtime (Hybrid Mode, 100% Brightness): ~310 hours
From mining to infrastructure, emergency rescue to night construction, the Mi 6’s “310 hours on one tank” capability makes mobile lighting more economical.
