Advantages
Why operators choose the VP3K
Much lower fuel cost
The EMS runs on battery first and starts the Kubota engine only when the load or battery requires it.
Quiet most of the time
Battery-only operation removes engine noise for most working hours.
Lower CO₂ per unit
A cleaner alternative to diesel-only light towers.
Less engine wear
On-demand starts reduce running hours and maintenance.
Adjustable brightness
Output levels adapt from full flood lighting to low perimeter lighting.
20 units per container
The folded tongue makes large fleet orders cheaper to ship.
A hybrid light tower that barely burns fuel
The VP3K balances battery and engine power automatically. With a 100 L tank and very low consumption, it can stay on remote sites for long periods between refuelling visits, which lowers operating costs for contractors and rental fleets.
Applications

FAQ
FAQ
How long can the VP3K run on battery alone?
The 5 kWh LiFePO4 battery runs the lights for about 5 hours without the engine, and recharges in about 1 hour. The battery is rated for 3,000 cycles.
When does the Kubota engine start?
The EMS runs on battery first and starts the Kubota Z482 engine only when the load or the battery state requires it. The engine runs at 1,500 rpm and drives a 5 kVA Sinocox alternator, which cuts running hours and engine wear.
How often does the VP3K need refuelling?
Fuel use is 0.3 L/h and the tank holds 100 L, which gives roughly 330 hours of engine running per tank (100 L ÷ 0.3 L/h). Because the battery covers most working hours, refuelling visits to remote sites are infrequent.
What area does the VP3K light, and how is the mast adjusted?
Four 250 W LED floodlights deliver 170,000 lm and cover about 5,000 m². The 6-section mast reaches 8 m with electric or hydraulic operation, a safety lock and 360° electric tilt and rotation of the lamps.
How many VP3K units fit in a shipping container?
Thanks to the folded drawbar, 20 units fit in one container, which lowers freight cost on fleet orders. Each unit has a dry weight of 750 kg and a folded footprint of 2,162 × 1,250 × 2,505 mm.
What are the MOQ, lead time and payment terms?
The MOQ is 1 unit, with a 5 % discount from 8 units. Production takes 15–45 working days depending on model and quantity, and payment is a 30 % deposit with the balance before shipment, FOB or CIF.
