Made in the USA
The PLM-30-TLR14-PVF-SOLJB-BCH trailer mounted photovoltaic system with pneumatic light tower from Larson Electronics is a photovoltaic platform for remote applications and off-site power generation. A 30 foot extendable pneumatic light tower provides a safe and effective way for operators to quickly deploy lights, security cameras and other equipment to elevations up to thirty feet. An adjustable A-frame mount provides a stable mounting solution for customer provided solar panels. The solar photovoltaic charge control system is mounted within a weatherproof job box, which provides storage room for customer provided equipment. The entire assembly is mounted onto a 14` single axle trailer, allowing operators to transport this fold over boom from location to location.
Larson Electronics`s’ PLM-30-TLR14-PVF-SOLJB-BCH trailer mounted photovoltaic system with pneumatic light tower allows operators to quickly and safely deploy illumination, security equipment, or network coverage in locations where elevated is needed for maximum area coverage and access to standard line voltage is limited or non-existant.
Pneumatic Light Tower: This five section pneumatic light boom can be extended to 30 feet above trailer deck for maximum area coverage and collapsed to 8.25 feet for transport or when not in use. The tower is constructed of aluminum round tubing with five sections measuring 7.38` length by 5.5" OD base section, 7.22` length by 4.65" OD, 7.11` length by 3.85" OD, 7` length by 3.23" OD, and 6.93` length by 2.6" OD top section. The mast is extended to its full height using the equipped air compressor with automatic pressure sensor.
The aluminum pneumatic mast reaches 30` in height above the deck of the trailer via the use of a low voltage air compressor located within the job box. The compressor is equipped with a pressure switch that maintains the pressure within the mast. Once the mast is deployed from the component control center, its operation is automated. The air compressor will turn on briefly when the pressure in the mast falls below the fully inflated threshold. In normal operation, the air compressor may turn on once every few days for about 5 minutes to top off the mast. When it is time to take the mast down for transport, the operator simply release the pressure switch and the mast will slowly release pressure and lower to its full collapsed height of 8.25` above deck.
At the top of the mast, we include a mounting bracket that is 44" wide and 2" by 2" by 1/4" thick, which provides a strong and stable platform for standard payloads up to 150 lbs. of electronics, including lights, camera or sensors. These mounting brackets can be built to customer specifications to include the holes necessary to mount their gear. Included with this unit is high output LED light fixtures. The mast can be rotated a full 360°. By loosening the T-Handle, operators can rotate the mast with easy in either direction. The mast can be positioned in one of four different keyhole lock-ways to ensure the mast does not move during higher winds, and locked back in place by re-tightening the T-handle. This ensures the mast does not move once position is set. Alternatively, the mast can be locked into place by tightening the T-handle down in between the keyholes, however, higher wind speeds may offset the mast head slightly after position without guy wires. The mast itself spins freely with easy once the T-handle has been loosened, and can typically be rotated with a single hand.
Solar Panel Assembly: The trailer is equipped with a pivoting A-frame mounting structure to allow operators to equip two user provided solar PV panels up to 96" by 38". This A-frame mount will allow operators to lock in the position the panels at 45° for deployment, and lay flat for storage/deployment.
Solar Charging System: In this 12 volt or 24 volt system solar control system, each panel is protected via a 15-amp hydraulic-magnetic PV approved, DC rated circuit breaker before the combiner box. A PV rated ground fault protector is wired before the charge controller, to detect any ground faults from the panel array and trip before becoming a fire hazard. With the circuit breakers set to the `on` position, the combiner box passes power to the 60-amp capacity Morningstar TriStar MPPT solar charge controller. On the output side of the output side of the charge controller is a 60-amp hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker, which feeds DC power to the 24V battery bank.
Oddly enough, most charge controllers aren’t rated past 104 degrees Fahrenheit despite the fact the will always be close to direct sunlight. In the summer time in Texas, our fabrication shop is normally warmer than that, so this solar light tower uses a charge controller that would support the southern heat. We improve on that capability by shading the charge controller and adding additional air flow from the exhaust of a 1400 CFM component cooling system.
Component Control Center: In order to ensure that the 50% threshold on the batteries is controlled, this solar trailer includes a system of min/max voltage sensors and relays that monitor the voltage produced by the batteries and will automatically shut off power distribution when the battery capacity falls below 50%. This protects the batteries from failure. We also include a Morningstar RM-2 remote digital monitoring system to track and log all activities related to the charger controller and battery health. In the event there is an issue with the solar trailer, the SD card can be removed from the Morningstar RM-2 and sent to Larson Electronics for analysis.
Battery Bank: This solar photovoltaic system is designed to operate on 24V DC. The NEMA 3R control job is designed to accept up to two 8D 12V batteries. Batteries are not included and are operator provided or sold separately. Larger battery banks can be made upon request. The battery terminals are equipped with a quick disconnect for servicing. DC output is protected by a 60-amp hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker. An AC battery charger allows operators to recharge the battery bank should the capacity drop below operational levels during periods of no solar irradiance.
Trailer Assembly: The pneumatic light mast, photovoltaic array frame, and solar charge control center are mounted to a 14` x 6`, single axle trailer with 15" wheels. Constructed of 2" by 3" square tubing, this trailer can be mounted on any 2" ball type receiver hitch. This trailer is equipped with a 4-pin flat plug for the tail lights, and four corner leveling stabilizer jacks. Four outriggers mounted to the corners of the trailer allow operators to level the trailer, and provide stabilization during deployment. All trailer lighting complies with DOT/FMVSS regulations.
We can equip this mast with 1000W or 1500W Metal Halide lights or a wide variety of high powered LED lights with comparable power. We also offer a choice of either the manual 1,000 lbs hand winches included standard or optional electric winches. Call us at 1-800-369-6671 or contact us at to discuss any special custom ordering requirements.
Suggested Applications: Construction sites, event lighting, emergency services, highway projects, industrial plants, mining and excavation and anywhere a mobile light source with large area coverage capability is needed.

Refund Policy
Return & Refund Policy
For All non-Larson Products If you are not satisfied with a product, contact us by emailing or call 1-844-787-LITE within 30 days of receipt. A refund may be arranged excluding freight charges upon inspection. Returned merchandise must be shipped in original packaging, freight prepaid, unused, and in resalable condition, and are subject to 25% restocking fee. PuriLite inspects all returns and reserves the right to refuse credits on damaged, used or non-resalable items. Your only obligation is the freight charge and restocking fee, provided your return is complete with original packaging, all documentation, warranty cards, cables etc. PuriLite reserves the right to authorize product returns after 30 days have passed from the order date. If the product is accepted after this period, it is subject to a 25% restocking fee and credit will be issued toward future purchases only.
Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable for all returns. The customer may also be responsible for return shipping charges, insurance and shipment tracking for returned merchandise.
Once you place an order, the following products are non-returnable: custom-cut, customer built or special order items (such as matting, slings, cranes, prefab offices, buildings, mezzanines, assembled lockers and regularly stocked items such as generators, pressure washers, water and trash pumps, snow throwers, radio headsets, striping paint, line stripers, floor care machines, vacuums, custom fabric chairs, forklifts) your order is considered non-cancellable and any custom-cut, customer built or special order items purchased by you are also non-returnable. Consumable style bulbs or lamps are not returnable. There are no returns on any medical and/or sanitizing products for obvious safety reasons. This includes PPE (including masks), tests, thermometers, sprayers and UVC lighting of any kind (portable and surface).
Leased and hazardous items are also non-returnable. Contact customer service for a complete list of applicable products.
Larson product return policy Every order is tested prior to shipping. The product is tested before it is put into the shipping box, crate, pallet, etc. Larson take pictures and videos of every product for every order being shipped, and store these pictures and videos with the order number in our system. Because of the complexity of some of our products, we have a very limited return policy.
For safety reasons, we do not accept returns on any hazardous location, explosion proof or intrinsically safe products. Once these products leave the factory, we cannot be sure what happens to them. We must re-build and re-certify the units to specification to ensure that the next customer receives an item that is safe to use. This is cost prohibitive. For that reason, we do not accept returns on classified products. We do not accept returns on transformers, phase converters, or frequency converters. In order to install one of the aforementioned products, typically customers will modify the product (i.e. penetrate the housing to make connections, punch out knockouts, remove or damage tinning on lead wires during installation). Because we video test every unit before it ships to ensure the unit operates as described, we know when they leave here the units are operationally functional and meet the output voltage when supplied with the input voltage per the product specification. To be clear, we do not accept returns on these items under any circumstances for these reasons.
Products that are not addressed in the above two conditions must be returned in new, unused condition.
Below are some additional considerations:
Electrical/electronic parts are easily damaged by improper installation or testing. Because electronics are very sensitive to voltage overloads, it does not take much of a voltage spike to ruin a component. Because of this risk, all electrical products returned will undergo electrical testing and assessed a testing fee. This fee will be subtracted from the final return value.
Consumable style bulbs or lamps are not returnable.
Products that contain emergency backup components are subject to very narrow warranty terms and do not qualify for return. For customer convenience, we engage the battery pack prior to shipping all emergency backup products. Many times, particularly with hazardous location rated products, the battery packs are difficult to access and the customer generally plans to install the units shortly after receipt of the shipment. Battery backup components using older technologies (Nicad, NIMH, SLA, etc) will fail quickly if they do not maintain valid grid tie support. In other words, the batteries must receive a consistent maintained charge to perpetuate long lifespans. Battery backup products that are shelved (not installed) for periods greater than 3 weeks will likely fail and need replacement sooner. This replacement will not be covered under warranty. This can also occur is the units are installed but the grid tie option is not connected correctly. Customers can specify that they do not want the battery pack to be engaged at the time of ordering if they plan to shelve the units for long periods of time prior to installation.
There are many products on the site and not all pictures depict the exact configuration of each product. Many products are custom built and/or built on demand. In some cases, products are designed and not sold immediately and rendering may be used. In all cases, the end product is built to the specification listed and the pictures shown may be close approximations. Pictures are more likely to be close approximations with more complex products, including transformers, power distribution systems, control systems, light tower systems and other highly customizable products. In no way does the approximation validate a potential return. We always build to the specification. If customers have questions, they should ask prior to purchase to clarify.
There are no returns on any medical and/or sanitizing products for obvious safety reasons. This includes PPE (including masks), tests, thermometers, sprayers and UVC lighting of any kind (portable and surface)
Many international orders, specialty orders and other complex build orders require prepayment in advance. This prepayment represents a commitment to the order. Cancelling the order will result in a deduction from the original amount paid if any refund is available, since an investment of time and money is typically required to acquire materials and prepare the order. While not all orders in this category require prepayment, cancellation fees may apply to other build orders as well. The percentage of the deduction is at Larson’s discretion but usually ranges from 30 to 50%.
How to Return For all returns, you can email us at sales@purilite.ca. You will need the invoice number in the subject line of the email. You can use one of your preferred carriers. Please note that for freight collect shipments, you are responsible for order tracking once the freight is loaded onto the truck. In addition, PuriLite Industrial cannot assist you with filing damage claims with your carrier.
