External Electrical Enclosures – RB Range

The RB Cabinet Range of external electrical enclosures was initially developed with the street lighting and highways industries in mind; however, their highly flexible, modular design means they are suitable enclosures for protecting electrical and/or electronic equipment in the most inhospitable external environments. To ensure a long service life the complete unit is manufactured from 2.0 mm thick stainless steel with a powder coated finish.

The RB Range of External Electrical Enclosures, in stainless steel, are smarter, lighter than galvanized cabinets and tougher than GRP.

A suitable GRP alternative made to last.
