Lighting Your Heavy Equipment Work Site

While it’s always ideal to try and complete your heavy equipment work during daylight hours, sometimes that just isn’t possible. If there isn’t sufficient daylight to illuminate everything your workers are doing, then you have to use artificial lighting options to keep everyone safe. Here are some helpful tips on how to light your work site.

Survey the Work Site

It's important to make sure that there is enough light to reach all corners of the job site. This means that you will need to take into account the height of the buildings, the size of your heavy equipment, and any other obstacles that could block sunlight or artificial light. Once you have a good idea of the general layout of your work area, you can begin to look into different lighting options.

Consider the Lighting Setup

Portable lighting can be attached to a variety of things, including the heavy equipment or nearby vehicles. Think about what setup will best support the specific heavy equipment work, which may be completely different from your last project setup.

Consider LED Lights

While LED lights cost more money upfront, they last much longer. This makes them more affordable in the long run since you'll save money on replacements. LEDs also burn much brighter, consume less energy, and put out less heat.
