2017 SMC Light Tower TL-90 Diesel Towable Crane - Kubota Engine - Stabiliser Legs
Overview
The SMC TL-90 is a compact, towable light tower and materials handling crane designed for construction sites, maintenance work, and industrial applications where portable lifting and lighting are required. This 2017 model combines manoeuvrability with practical lifting capacity, making it ideal for contractors who need flexible site equipment without the footprint of a full-size mobile crane. The integrated jib crane with hook allows for precise material placement and handling in confined spaces.
This particular unit presents as a well-used but functional machine typical of its age and operational history. The orange and red livery is consistent with site equipment standards. The diesel-powered Kubota engine provides reliable operation across varied working conditions. The control panel is accessible and features the essential emergency stop button for safe operation. Stabiliser legs are present and appear mechanically sound, essential for safe lifting operations. The tow hitch is intact and ready for transport between sites.
Light towers and compact cranes of this type remain in steady demand across the construction and maintenance sectors. The TL-90 offers genuine utility for small to medium contractors seeking portable lifting without capital-intensive equipment purchases. Market comparable units in similar condition typically range from AUD 8,500 to 12,500 depending on hours and service history. This machine represents solid value for buyers requiring occasional lifting and material handling capability.
