CW Plant’s Trime ton

15 March 2023

Charles Wilson Engineers (CW Plant) is continuing to expand its hire fleet of Trime lighting towers with a further investment in no fewer than 100 hundred X-Eco, X-Eco Solar Hybrid and X-Eco Lithium machines.

CW Plant’s site lighting fleet is now entirely made up of Trime models, now totalling 650 sets and distributed throughout the company’s nationwide network of 29 depots.

Graham Pollard, CW Plant Director, said: “We have taken the decision to continue to invest in the Trime X-Eco LED engine-powered lighting towers; however, this new investment also includes solar-powered X-Eco Solar Hybrid and battery-powered X-Eco Lithium lighting sets. 

“We have noted a trend in the construction and event markets to move towards more sustainable machinery, hence this purchase. The Trime sets incorporate the most modern technology, and their environmental and fuel-saving attributes make them a very attractive proposition for our clients.” 

The X-Solar Hybrid is a low-emission machine and, for a large part of its operation is noise-free, says Trime. It has four 60W LED lamps fitted to a fully galvanised 8.5-metre mast, giving a light coverage of 2000 sq m. 

The X-Eco Lithium’s battery can be fully recharged in less than three hours meaning that, in a ten-hour cycle, it runs off battery power for 80 per cent of its. Illumination is via six LED lamps, providing an illuminated area of more than 3000 sq m

Last year Charles Wilson Engineers acquired M&J Hire.
