Alaska Skid-Mounted 3kW Light Tower^™

The Alaska Skid-Mounted 3kW Light Tower^™ from Alaska Defense^® delivers reliable, multi-spectrum illumination for military and expeditionary operations. Designed for durability, mobility, and rapid deployment, this skid-mounted light tower provides visible white light, infrared (IR) illumination, and blackout (red) lighting in a single ruggedized platform.

Powered by a diesel engine and built with a powder-coated aluminum cabinet and galvanized steel chassis, this 3-kW skid-mounted light tower provides dependable lighting in harsh environments while maintaining compact stowed dimensions. Multi-fuel capable and compatible with diesel, JP-5, JP-8, and Jet A, this skid-mounted light tower supports standard military fuel logistics while delivering up to 36 hours of runtime from its 8-gallon fuel tank. A 25-foot electrically actuated mast with triple-tier safety systems, a deployed safety latch, and manual override capability ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions. The mast features an electric pivot mechanism, remote control operation, and 360^° rotation, while four stabilizing outriggers and integrated forklift pockets enhance rapid positioning and transportability.

Whether supporting tactical staging areas, perimeter security, flight line operations, or remote forward operating sites, the Alaska Skid-Mounted 3kW Light Tower^™ provides adaptable lighting for every phase of the mission. Engineered for efficient strategic transport, the system ships four units per 463L pallet and eight units per 20-foot ISO container, maximizing deployment density while reducing logistical footprint. An optional spill containment system further supports compliance with environmental requirements for domestic and overseas operations.
