The End of Diesel.
The Future of Site Lighting.
The OmniHub TL-500 is the Kingdom’s definitive battery-powered light tower. It delivers silent, emission-free, high-intensity light with a total monthly cost that is less than half that of a traditional diesel unit.

The Riyadh Summer Showdown
Choosing site lighting in Riyadh’s 45°C peak heat is about the full equation: cost, reliability, logistics, and compliance. Here’s a head-to-head comparison built from current rental quotes, OEM fuel data, and a SAR 0.30/kWh grid tariff.
Most Riyadh projects ≤ 18 months rely on rental fleets. For long-term CAPEX analysis, please refer to our CAPEX sheet.
🥊 The Contenders
| Technology | Model | Monthly Energy | CO₂ / mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genset | Perkins 403D-11G | 624 L | 1.64 t |
| Hybrid | Atlas Copco HiLight BI+ | 240 L | 0.63 t |
| Battery | OmniHub TL-500 | 103 kWh | 0.06 t |
💰 Total Cost Showdown (Rental + Running)
| Technology | Rental / mo | OPEX / mo | Total / mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | SAR 3,000 | SAR 1,036 | SAR 4,036 |
| Hybrid | SAR 4,500+ | SAR 398 | SAR 4,898+ |
| Battery (month-to-month) | SAR 3,200 | SAR 31 | SAR 3,231 |
| Battery (12-Month Contract) | SAR 2,000 | SAR 31 | SAR 2,031 |
🏆 The Verdict
✔ Battery — The Clear Winner
- ≈50% lower total monthly cost on contract.
- ≈33× cheaper to run than diesel, ≈13× than hybrid.
- Eliminates noise, heavy mobilization, engine maintenance, and spill liability.
✖ Hybrid & Diesel
Legacy technology burdened by high fuel & maintenance costs, complex logistics, and growing ESG compliance penalties.
The Full Comparison
A breakdown of the operational realities that data tables don’t always show.
Mobilization
Diesel & Hybrid: 1,400 kg mast → crane/forklift hire ≥ 1,000 SAR per move.
Battery: 52 kg; six units in a pickup → transport & setup costs ↓ 50%.
Maintenance & Downtime
Diesel: Full service every 450–500 h (oil, filters, belts).
Battery: No engine—firmware updates only → near-zero mechanical downtime.
