cast production lay-
outs, haul road access
and mining bench set-
ups keep changing in
line with the extraction programme,
so nothing remains fixed in place for
too long. That applies in particular
to in-pit lighting, which is seldom, if
ever, permanent or connected to grid
power, and thus needs to be fully mo-
bile, and diesel powered.
Balancing manoeuvrability with
safe, effective lighting coverage is a
key concern for 24/7 mining envi-
ronments that must ensure rapid re-
deployment of illumination systems.
This applies to routine day-to-day
operations, as well as after blasting
has occurred. In the latter respect, the
challenge for on-site managers is to en-
sure that all earthmoving machines and
associated plant return to their work
stations as quickly as possible and the
night-time landscape is lit-up in time
for the next shift.
A leader in the mobile lighting mar-
ket for mines and allied
industries, Barloworld
Power is meeting the
demand for fixed highwall and in-pit illumination
with the Allight range of lighting towers, designed
for maximum personnel safety, both in terms of set-
up and functionality.
Produced by Perth-based Australian original equip-
ment manufacturer (OEM), AllightSykes, the product
offered locally is comprehensive, catering for mining,
construction and municipal markets. Allight has led
the mobile lighting field in the Australasia region
for more than two decades, as well as in markets
that include the USA, Indonesia and Africa.
Currently, around 3 000 Allight units are manu-
factured annually for worldwide distribution,
and all products meet the strict health and safety
requirements of the Australian mining industry,
which is one of the most regulated globally.
That includes environmental protection: each
unit has a 110 % diesel fluid spillage bund as
standard.
Alongside the Allight series is the interna-
tionally renowned Sykes mining pump range,
providing high head dewatering solutions that are
There are currently seven Mine-
Spec models. Shown here is the
MineSpec MS10K-9 unit.
