Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured to the original dimensional and load-bearing specifications required to securely house and support the ballast assembly in Wacker Neuson light towers.
- Direct-Fit Installation — Matches the original mounting points and hardware interface of the LTS series, dropping in exactly where the factory part came out.
- Broad LTS Series Coverage — Fits LTS7K (50 Hz and 60 Hz, Metal Halide, Trailer), LTS8K, and LTS8L models in both Trailer and Skid configurations.
- Sustained Ballast Protection — Keeps the ballast securely positioned during operation, preventing vibration-related movement that can stress electrical connections and shorten ballast life.
- Electrical Safety Relevance — A damaged or failed ballast support can allow the ballast to shift, creating risk of chafed wiring, loose connections, or arcing within the light tower's electrical system — making timely replacement important for safe operation.
The ballast support is a structural bracket or housing component that holds the ballast unit firmly in place within a light tower. The ballast is the electrical device that regulates the current supplied to metal halide or similar discharge lamps, and it must remain securely mounted to function correctly and safely. When the ballast support becomes cracked, bent, or broken, the ballast can shift or vibrate loose during transport and operation, putting strain on wiring harnesses and lamp connections and potentially leading to lighting failure or electrical hazards on site.
