1. Manual Crank Folding: The light tower retracts and unfolds section by section by manually turning a crank. It has a simple structure and low cost.

Suitable for scenarios with low usage frequency and low deployment speed requirements, such as small maintenance sites or temporary lighting.

The overall height after folding is usually within 2.2 meters, making it easy to transport by pickup truck.

2. Electric Push-Rod Folding: A motor drives the push-rod to complete the lifting and lowering action, supporting one-button automatic unfolding and retraction.

A remote control can be equipped for remote control within a 30-meter range, improving operational safety and reducing the risk of personnel exposure to hazardous areas.

Often used in emergency scenarios such as railways and power industries where rapid response is required.

3. Hydraulic System Folding: A hydraulic pump station drives a piston to achieve smooth lifting and lowering, resulting in a more stable lifting process and lower noise.

Supports rapid deployment (some models unfold in less than 5 minutes) and allows for 360° horizontal rotation and 0-270° lamp head angle adjustment, flexibly adjusting the lighting direction.

Commonly used in high-intensity industrial environments such as large-scale disaster relief and oil field operations.

Furthermore, some high-end models feature a detachable mast head and a folding rotating arm design for easy storage and modular maintenance.
