Sunbelt Rentals has invested in 300 solar-powered lighting towers, manufactured and supplied by the lighting tower specialist, Trime.

The company made a savvy choice in selecting the Trime X-Solar lighting towers, which were acquired to meet the growing demand from customers for emission-free equipment.

The main attribute which attracted Sunbelt Rentals to the Trime X-Solar Lights is their reliability. This ensures that all users will receive emission-free lighting, all year and in all conditions. In addition, Sunbelt clients have commented on the ease of operation and low maintenance requirements that the X-Solar lights provide.

As of January 2023, Sunbelt now has over 2000 Trime lighting towers, the fleet consisting of various other Trime models including X-Chain, X-Hybrid Solar, X-Hybrid, and X-Eco.

The Trime X-Solar lights will be deployed on construction sites and outside events throughout the UK and Ireland. These include extremely remote sites, such as the Highlands of Scotland.

The X-Solar is fitted with four 60-watt energy-saving LED lamps fitted to a galvanised 8.5-metre mast. The X-Solar delivers a light coverage of 2000sqm and compact dimensions mean that four units can be loaded onto a single truck. For safe handling and efficient manoeuvrability, the frame of the X-Solar is fitted with forklift pockets and a central lifting eye. Safety is also heightened by the AMOSS security system, which automatically lowers the mast if the lighting set is moved whilst the mast is still erected. 

Commenting on the investment, Sunbelt Rentals Sales and Marketing Director Dave Harris, said: “We believe that the Trime Lighting products are the best in the market. This investment highlights the commitment that Sunbelt Rentals is making to provide our customers with equipment that is not only built for purpose but also helping reduce emission outputs and impact on Our Planet.”

Trime has its’ headquarters in Cassinetta di Lugagnano, near Milan, and operates two production facilities. Aside from lighting towers, the company also manufactures a wide range of water-recycling wash bays and dust suppression products. Trime UK is based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
