Trailer-Mounted LED Light Tower with Diesel Generator
Yes.
KDT provides trailer-mounted LED light towers with built-in diesel generators, delivered, set up, fueled and serviced on your incident, as one tower or as many as the job needs.
Typical configuration
- Lighting
- 4 × 300 W LED fixtures (typical), roughly 5 acres of usable light
- Mast
- Hydraulic or manual telescoping mast, about 30 ft, 360° rotation
- Power
- On-board diesel generator, about 6–8 kW
- Runtime
- 60 to 150+ hours per tank, depending on model
- Trailer
- DOT road-towable, 2" ball or pintle hitch, stabilizing outriggers
- Extras
- Auxiliary 120/240 V outlets on many units, dusk-to-dawn timer
Incidents don't stop at sunset. Base camps, staging areas, drop points, decon lines and security perimeters all need to be lit, usually somewhere with no grid power at all. A trailer-mounted light tower solves that in one unit: a mast of high-output LED fixtures on a road-towable trailer, with its own diesel generator and fuel tank on board.
KDT puts them where you need them, aims and raises the masts, and keeps them running: fueling, checks and moves as the incident changes, then pickup at demob. If you also need power off the same unit, many towers carry an auxiliary outlet for small loads like a radio charger or a handwash station heater.
Order one for a gate, or a string of them for a whole camp. We'll size the count from your layout so there are no dark lanes between tents, parking and the helispot.
KDT's own light tower takes the same job further: trailer-mounted on off-road tires, LED lights on solar power, with a diesel generator as an option. See solar powered light towers.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT have trailer-mounted light towers with diesel generators?
Yes. We supply towable LED light towers with on-board diesel generators, and we deliver, set up, fuel and service them for the length of the incident.
How long does a diesel light tower run on one tank?
Typically 60 to 150+ hours, depending on the model and settings. We keep them fueled on a schedule so they don't run dry.
Can I run other equipment off a light tower?
Many units have an auxiliary outlet for small loads. For real power needs (kitchens, office trailers, HVAC) we bring a towable generator and power distribution instead.
How many light towers does a base camp need?
It depends on the layout. A small camp may need four to six; a large one, dozens. Send us the layout or a headcount and we'll size it.
