PR Power is proud to celebrate another successful show at HIRE26, held on May 20-21 at Sydney Showgrounds. Returning as an exhibitor for the fourth consecutive year, and as a committed member of the Hire and Rental Industry Association (HRIA), the event once again proved a valuable opportunity to connect with rental customers and industry colleagues from across the country.
Launching the X-Traffic and X-Pole Solar Pro Lighting Towers
A key highlight of our stand this year was the launch of two new additions to the T-ZERO Lighting Tower range – the X-Traffic and X-Pole Solar Pro, both of which feature in the May edition of the HRIA Magazine, highlighting the industry’s growing focus on safer, low-emission solutions.
The X-Traffic lighting tower was designed to replicate permanent roadway lighting within temporary traffic and roadwork applications. Engineered specifically for live traffic environments, it incorporates an approved 155W streetlight fitting with street-lighting optics for low-glare illumination suited to road corridors and work zones. Aligned with AS/NZS 1158:2022 Category V3 requirements, the X-Traffic features a 10m vertical mast and 3m overhang, delivering illumination across areas up to 1,100m². The unit integrates diesel, solar and battery technology to support reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions and improved operational efficiency.
The X-Pole Solar Pro is an upgraded version of the previous X-Pole model. Featuring 2x100W LED lamps, it delivers illumination across up to 1,600m² while maintaining a compact, easily transportable design. Ideal for lower-demand applications such as site entry and exit points, walkways, security zones and car parks. The combination of solar and battery operation removes fuel consumption, emissions and operational noise.
Alongside the new product launches, PR Power also showcased additional equipment throughout the stand, including:
These units further demonstrate our commitment to supporting the hire and rental industry with technology that meets the evolving demands of the market.
Connecting with the Industry
Craig Parker, Michael Rapkins and Ben McNally spent the two days connecting with customers and industry peers, discussing current trends and introducing attendees to the latest additions to our range. There was strong interest in the X-Traffic, while the X-Pole Solar Pro was also positively received for its versatility across a range of site applications. There was also a great response to the build quality and design of the JCB Rental Spec generators. Throughout the event, visitors also highlighted the value of dependable after-sales support, service and parts availability, something we take great pride in delivering.
We’re grateful to everyone who visited our stand, engaged with the team and continues to support PR Power. We would also like to acknowledge Trime and JCB for their ongoing support and collaboration, which once again played an important role in delivering a stand focused on performance and reliability.
Celebrating the Hire Industry Excellence Awards
We’re proud to have nominated for the Best New Product of the Year: General Category with the X-Traffic Lighting Tower, and congratulations to Husqvarna Australia on taking out the award.
