Carmanah's latest product line addition is designed to meet
the needs of customers who require a high intensity,
portable airfield lighting capability. Based on U.S.
Department of Defense specifications, the High Mobility
Cable Trailer is a robust power supply and transportation
solution for Carmanah's A704-H hybrid runway edge lights.
The functional and tough trailer ensures that the airfield
lighting system can be moved quickly and efficiently to
support maneuver operations. Specifically designed to be
towable by a Humvee, the air-transportable MIL-SPEC trailer
can be equipped with all the cables and ancillary
components to support a fully functional expeditionary
runway or helipad lighting system. A typical trailer
loadout includes a generator, power distribution units,
charging cables, power supply boxes, cable protectors and
tie down stakes.
Normally used in solar-only configuration, the hybrid
A704-H lights may be connected to the trailer's on-board
generator for long term, continuous operation. The unique
A704-H surpasses the standards for medium intensity runway
lights (MIRL) and provides a high intensity runway light
(HIRL) capability up to 500 candela. It is ideal for use on
expeditionary airfields and helipads, for disaster relief
operations, and as emergency backup airfield lighting. Due
to their exceptionally high intensity, the lights are
especially relevant when low visibility operations may be
required.
