The V Series configuration features a hydraulic lift system, which allows the mast to be completely raised and lowered in less than 30 seconds. This design allows for more intuitive light fixture positioning for angle and direction. The tower is still vertical when retracted, making accurate fixture adjustment fast and simple. Furthermore, the fixtures firmly hold their adjusted position as the tower is raised, and the lights can be operated at any height.

The ML EX V Series units deliver 20 and 30 kilowatts of three-phase power. This provides an additional electrical power source for powering temporary work trailers, pumps, additional lighting or other auxiliary equipment.

The standard 135-gallon fuel capacity on the ML EX V Series provides extended operation with less service expense, making it suitable for remote locations.

The trailer-integrated fluid containment system means the unit is more environmentally friendly than other standard light towers.

By utilizing Allmand’s proprietary SHO-HD 1,250-watt lighting system, the ML EX V Series provides 150,000 lumens per lamp, a 36-per cent increase over some competitive light towers. An optional Saf-T-Visor attachment directs previously wasted light onto the worksite.

Standard features include a modular engine/genset, which allows for simple engine/generator removal or changeout. Service is simplified with a hinged ballast panel, which only requires two bolts to be removed for full access. Captive latches on the tower support and outriggers eliminate the potential for lost pins. Optional inside lamp storage for both four- and six-light models allows for better security of the exclusive SHO lamp fixtures when the lighting system is not being used.
