Challenges in lighting of mobile tower cranes

Mobile tower cranes, such as those from Liebherr, Spierings, Potain and other brands, play an essential role in the construction industry. These fast-mounting cranes, with heights of up to 37 metres and boom lengths of up to 60 metres, require specific lighting solutions to operate safely and efficiently. Lighting these cranes presents unique challenges:

  • Limited mounting space: The compact construction of the cranes requires lighting that fits into often small spaces.
  • Safety during Construction and Operations: Good lighting is crucial for visibility and communication, both during crane erection and lifting operations.
  • Robustness and Reliability: Lighting should be able to withstand vibration, moisture and extreme conditions.
  • Energy efficiency and sustainability: There is a need for lighting that saves energy and has a long lifespan.

A summary of our high-profile projects

Environmentally friendly construction with our lighting

Forward-thinking builders choose our mobile tower crane LED lighting to take maximum account of workplace safety while avoiding nuisance to the environment. This is essential at a time when sustainability and environmentally conscious construction are key.

Importance of EN 12464-2 for safe construction site lighting

The EN 12464-2 is the European standard for lighting and illumination of outdoor workplaces. This standard specifies the requirements for good lighting on construction sites to ensure the safety and well-being of workers. It sets guidelines for minimum illuminance, uniformity and colour rendering.

Why is this important for businesses?

  • Worker safety: Sufficient lighting reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Legal compliance: Failure to meet the standard can lead to legal consequences and fines. In addition, you are fully liable in the event of an accident with inadequate lighting.
  • Efficiency and productivity: Good lighting improves visibility, making work more efficient and accurate.
  • Image and reputation: Companies that comply with safety standards and environmental requirements show their commitment to the welfare of their employees and the environment. 
 

Our lighting solutions are designed to meet the requirements of the European established standard EN 12464-2, allowing you to build your projects with confidence.

Environmental benefits of our mobile tower crane lighting

  • Energy savings: High efficiency up to 140 lm/W reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions; you save an average of 65% by switching to our LED mobile tower crane lighting.
  • Durable Materials: Long service life reduces waste and the need for frequent replacement. With the circular economy in mind, you can return your old conventional light sources to us for recycling.
  • Support in Permit procedures: We can provide you with substantiated advice and reports that demonstrate that your construction project complies with environmental regulations and permit requirements, thus avoiding delays.
