Solar Beacons for Tower Cranes: Safety, Efficiency, and Sustainability
Solar beacons have become an essential solution to ensure safety and visibility on tower cranes. Thanks to their autonomous operation and easy installation, these lights offer a modern, sustainable, and maintenance-free alternative to traditional electrical systems.
What are solar beacons for tower cranes and how do they work?
Solar beacons for tower cranes are lighting devices designed to signal the structure of the crane, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions.
They operate using solar energy, capturing sunlight through integrated photovoltaic panels.
During the day, they charge their internal battery, and at dusk they switch on automatically—no manual intervention or electrical connection required.
Advantages of using solar beacons over traditional ones
Unlike conventional electric beacons, solar beacons do not require a connection to the grid or generators.
Their main advantages include:
- Faster and easier installation
- Zero electrical consumption
- No risk of power outages
- Greater autonomy and reliability
- Compliance with aerial and construction signaling regulations
Additionally, since they do not depend on cables, they avoid failures caused by wear or vibrations, increasing operational safety.
Easy installation with no electrical wiring required
One of the biggest advantages of these beacons is their cable-free installation.
You only need to mount them on the jib, counter-jib, and the top of the tower.
There is no need to look for power sources or run long cables, drastically reducing installation time and the risk of errors.
In just a few minutes, the crane can be perfectly signaled and compliant with safety regulations.
Autonomous operation thanks to solar energy
These lights operate completely autonomously.
Their panels capture solar radiation and store enough energy to keep the system running every day of the year—even during weekends or holidays when electrical power is typically disconnected.
This system provides total autonomy and zero maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor construction sites or areas without access to the electrical grid.
Durable, reliable, and maintenance-free solar beacons
IVSOLAR’s beacons are designed to withstand the toughest industrial environments.
They are robust, vibration-resistant, and resistant to impacts, dust, and humidity.
They require no maintenance, avoiding interruptions and additional costs.
Crane operators who switch to solar technology highlight its reliability and durability, ensuring constant and safe signaling.
Safety and visibility on tower-crane construction sites
Good visibility is essential for safety on site.
Solar beacons for tower cranes ensure proper illumination at all critical points of the structure—jib, counter-jib, and tower—reducing the risk of accidents and improving nighttime visibility.
They meet civil aviation and construction safety regulations, providing peace of mind for both operators and supervisors.
Energy savings and sustainability in industrial lighting
Solar technology not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a more sustainable model.
By using a clean and inexhaustible energy source, solar beacons minimize the carbon footprint of each construction project.
This type of solution helps companies move toward more ecological, efficient, and responsible construction practices.
