In a rural region of New Zealand, a highway maintenance crew faced a tight deadline. A major resurfacing project had to be completed before the winter rains began. Daylight hours were short, and the crew could only work from sunrise to sunset. They needed a reliable light source to extend their shifts safely into the evening.
The site had no access to grid power. Portable diesel generators were noisy and required constant refueling. The crew leader searched for a cleaner, more efficient solution and found a mobile lighting plant for sale from YG Machinery. He chose a solar‑powered unit with a lithium battery backup, a 12m vertical mast, and four 200W LED lamps with 359° rotation.
The result transformed the project. The crew now works two extra hours each evening, completing the resurfacing ahead of schedule. The solar‑powered mobile lighting plant runs silently, produces zero emissions, and costs nothing to operate after the initial investment. The crew leader has since ordered two more units for other remote projects.

Why the New Zealand crew chose this configuration:
- Solar + lithium battery eliminated fuel costs and noise – critical for working near rural homes.
- 12m vertical mast provided wide area coverage for highway resurfacing.
- Four 200W LED lamps with tilt and 359° rotation allowed precise aiming at the work zone.
- No backup generator was ordered initially, but the unit can be upgraded later if needed.
Three Challenges That Made Night Work Difficult In New Zealand
The highway crew faced three common problems across remote construction and emergency sites in New Zealand.
Problem 1: No Grid Power
Most rural roadworks and disaster response sites have no electrical supply. Diesel generators are heavy, require fuel transport, and create noise that disturbs nearby residents and wildlife.
Problem 2: Short Daylight Hours
During New Zealand‘s winter, daylight lasts only 8‑9 hours. To meet project deadlines, crews need reliable artificial lighting for early morning and evening shifts.
Problem 3: High Fuel and Maintenance Costs
Running diesel generators for 5‑6 hours each night consumes significant fuel. Generators also need regular oil changes and repairs. In remote areas, fuel delivery adds logistics costs.
The mobile lighting plants for sale solved all three.
How Solar Mobile Lighting Plants Transformed The New Zealand Project?
The YG mobile lighting plant is a trailer‑mounted unit with solar panels, a battery bank, an LED lamp mast, and an optional backup generator. During the day, solar panels charge the batteries. At night, the batteries power the LED lamps. The system is fully automated: lights turn on at dusk and off at dawn, or the operator can set a timer.
Zero Fuel, Zero Noise
The New Zealand crew runs the unit for 6‑8 hours each night without a single liter of diesel. The only sound is a faint hum from the LED drivers. Nearby farmers did not complain – they barely noticed the lights.
Automatic Operation
The crew sets the timer for 6 PM to 10 PM. The unit turns itself on and off. No generator pull‑cord, no extension cords, no refueling. One worker checks the battery level weekly.
Clean, Bright Light
The four 200W LEDs produce a combined 80,000 lumens, illuminating a 50‑meter work zone brightly. The 359° rotation and tilt allow the crew to aim the light exactly where needed – not scattering into neighboring properties.
Backup Option
For cloudy weeks, the unit can be ordered with a small diesel or gasoline generator. The New Zealand crew opted out, but the option exists for buyers in less sunny regions.
Real Feedback From The New Zealand Road Crew
After using the solar mobile lighting plant for three months, the site supervisor shared his results.
- Night shift hours gained: 2 extra hours per day, 5 days per week = 40 hours per month.
- Fuel savings: Zero diesel consumed for lighting. The old diesel generator used 8 liters per night.
- Maintenance savings: No oil changes, no spark plugs, no generator service.
- Noise complaints: Zero. The crew can work near houses without disturbing sleep.
- Project completion: Finished 10 days ahead of the winter deadline.
The supervisor said, “I was skeptical about solar in New Zealand – we have plenty of cloudy days. But the battery bank stores enough power for two nights of overcast weather. The lights are incredibly bright, and the mast is rock‑solid even in the wind. This mobile lighting plant for sale is the best equipment purchase we made this year.”
An operator added, “The electric winch raises the mast in 30 seconds. The remote control for the lights is simple. I can rotate each lamp individually. It is so much better than dragging a generator around.”
Which Mobile Lighting Plants For Sale Fit Your Application?
Use this quick guide based on your typical job site and shift length.
- Small site/emergency response (2‑3 hours nightly): 2×60W or 2×100W LEDs, lower mast (6‑8m), smaller battery bank. Solar sufficient.
- Medium site/roadworks (4‑6 hours nightly): 4×100W or 4×200W LEDs, 9‑10m mast, lithium battery with 24V system. Optional backup generator for cloudy regions.
- Large site / continuous overnight (6‑10 hours nightly): 6×200W LEDs, 12m mast, large lithium battery bank plus diesel generator backup. Recommended for ports, mining, and large construction.
All YG mobile lighting plants for sale feature:
- Heavy‑duty trailer (AU/EU/US standard)
- Brake system (mechanical or electric)
- Manual, electric, or hydraulic winch for mast extension
- Fully customizable solar array and battery capacity
The New Zealand customer chose a medium configuration: 4×200W LEDs, 12m mast, lithium batteries, and no generator. This suits their partly cloudy climate and 6‑hour nightly usage.
