Multiquip 12850033KEY Ignition Key Single Sided

The Multiquip 12850033KEY Ignition Key Single Sided is a genuine OEM replacement designed for LT12, LT12P, LT12D, and SLT12D light towers. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this key is an exact match for the original ignition system on these towable and portable light tower models. Keep a spare on hand — a lost or worn ignition key is one of the fastest ways to bring a night pour or job-site lighting setup to a halt. The 12850033KEY ships as a single-sided key unit, ready to use straight out of the package.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Ignition Match — Cut and coded to the original Multiquip ignition specification, ensuring the key engages the switch cylinder cleanly without excessive play or binding.
• Direct-Fit for LT12 Series Light Towers — Compatible with LT12, LT12P, LT12D, and SLT12D models; drops into the existing ignition switch with no modifications to the switch or housing.
• Single-Sided Profile — The single-sided cut allows consistent one-orientation insertion, reducing wear on the switch cylinder over repeated start cycles.
• Supports Uninterrupted Lighting Operations — A functioning ignition key is required to start and shut down the light tower engine; a cracked, bent, or missing key prevents the unit from operating at all.
• Ideal Backup for Field Crews — Compact and easy to store, making it practical to carry a spare on multi-tower job sites where losing or damaging a key is a real operational risk.

The ignition key is the physical interface between the operator and the light tower's engine start circuit. When inserted and turned, it completes the ignition switch circuit, allowing the engine to crank and start. A worn, damaged, or missing key can prevent the switch from engaging fully, causing intermittent start failures or leaving the tower unable to power up entirely. Using the correct OEM-matched key ensures consistent contact with the switch mechanism and reduces premature wear on the cylinder itself.
