Unfailing Light for When the Work Can't Stop

When your event runs past sunset or your project requires overnight work, dependable lighting isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. The Metrolite DLT-18HD Diesel LED Light Tower is the professional's choice for powerful, efficient, and reliable illumination. From bustling construction sites to large-scale festival fields, this light tower is engineered to perform in demanding conditions, reduce your operational downtime, and keep your site safe and productive. It's a direct reflection of a brand promise centered on reliability, efficiency, and superior service.

Features That Make a Difference

As event professionals, we know that the best gear is the gear you don't have to worry about. The DLT-18HD is packed with features designed for performance and peace of mind.

  • Powerful, High-Efficiency Illumination: Don't let darkness slow you down. The tower is equipped with four 4320W LED floodlights that produce a massive 166,200 lumens of clean, bright light. This ensures your entire work area is clearly and safely lit.

  • Engineered for Endurance and Efficiency: Downtime is costly. That's why this tower is built around a reliable Kohler KDI 1903 M engine and a large 240-litre fuel tank. It boasts an impressive runtime of over 60 hours at prime load and can run for 62.5 hours at a 75% load. Its low fuel consumption can save up to 45 litres of diesel per day compared to older 20kW towers, significantly lowering your operating costs.

  • Robust, All-Weather Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of any jobsite, the DLT-18HD features a durable powder-coated steel exterior and a heavy-duty, hydraulic-activated galvanized steel mast. For unwavering performance in challenging weather, four outriggers provide superior wind stability, rated for up to 110 kph (68 mph).

  • Smart, Automated Operation: Set it and forget it. The tower includes an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor for effortless operation and is equipped with Deep Sea Electronics that offer GPS and telematics capabilities for remote monitoring. For convenience, LED interior compartment work lights make after-dark servicing simple and safe.

  • Environmentally Conscious Design: In line with a mission to support a green future, the DLT-18HD features 110% secondary fluid containment to protect your jobsite from spills.

Perfect For Any Occasion

This diesel light tower is the definitive lighting solution for demanding applications. Whether you're managing a site in the construction, mining, pipeline, or powerline industries, or you're setting up for a multi-day festival or large outdoor event, the DLT-18HD provides the reliable, powerful light you need to succeed.

One Simple Price

At Event Ready Supply, we're not just passionate about providing top-tier equipment; we're dedicated to making your entire experience, from browsing to delivery, as smooth and predictable as possible.

We’ve all been there: you find the perfect item, carefully plan your budget, and head to checkout only to be hit with confusing calculations and surprisingly high shipping costs. We believe there’s a better, more transparent way to do business.

Our All-in Pricing Philosophy

That’s why we’ve built our business around a straightforward, all-in pricing model. We’ve bundled the cost of shipping, including standard freight (if necessary) directly into the product price. This approach is designed with your project and peace of mind at the forefront.

  • No More Surprises: The price you see on the product page is the real price for your item, delivered. You can shop with the confidence that there are no hidden handling fees or last-minute shipping costs to worry about.

  • Effortless Budgeting: Knowing your landed cost upfront makes planning your project simple. There's no need to guess or wait until the final checkout step to understand your total investment.

  • A Streamlined Experience: We want you to spend your valuable time focusing on your work, not deciphering complex shipping charts. Our pricing model simplifies your entire purchasing process.

How Your Delivery Works

To maintain this simplicity, it’s important to understand how our standard delivery service operates.

If freight is required for shipment

Our pricing is structured to cover the entire journey of your order via standard freight to a location with a loading dock. This is the most efficient method and its cost is already included in your price.

Don't have a loading dock? No problem. For locations without one, the delivery truck requires a lift-gate to safely lower your order to the ground. When you check out, our system will ask if you have a loading dock. If not, this essential lift-gate service will be added to your total for a clear, flat rate.

Please note that our standard delivery is Threshold Service. This means the driver is responsible for getting the item to the curb or off the back of the truck. They are not equipped to bring items inside your building, unpack, or perform assembly. Please contact us if you would like White Glove delivery.

Our Commitment to You

Our goal is simple: to provide you with exceptional products and an honest, straightforward purchasing experience to match. By taking the guesswork out of shipping, we hope to be a partner you can truly trust.
