Hoffman Floor Standing Enclosure Solutions
Floor standing enclosures, also known as free-standing enclosures or industrial cabinets, provide the maximum interior space for housing complex control systems, large electrical equipment, and extensive wiring installations. Hoffman's floor standing enclosure line includes options ranging from compact single-door units to multi-bay configurations that can span entire control rooms.
Modular Design for Flexibility
Many Hoffman floor standing enclosures feature modular designs that allow multiple cabinets to be joined together for larger installations. This approach provides flexibility to start with a smaller system and expand as needs grow. Side-by-side mounting frames, cable routing between cabinets, and common mounting rails across multiple bays simplify installation and future modifications.
Construction and Materials
Hoffman floor standing enclosures are constructed from heavy-gauge steel for maximum durability and structural integrity. Welded frame construction provides rigidity to support heavy equipment loads. Multiple finish options including ANSI 61 gray, white, and RAL colors allow specification to match facility standards or equipment aesthetics. Stainless steel versions are available for food processing and pharmaceutical applications requiring corrosion resistance and washdown capability.
Access and Configuration Options
Floor standing enclosures offer various door configurations including single front door, double front doors, and models with front and rear access. Ventilated doors accommodate air flow for thermal management. Glass doors or window kits allow equipment monitoring without opening the enclosure. Removable side panels provide access for installation and maintenance of cable connections between adjacent cabinets.
Internal Mounting Systems
Hoffman floor standing enclosures include comprehensive mounting provisions for equipment installation. 19-inch rack rails accommodate standard IT equipment. Swing-out frames provide access to front-mounted equipment while allowing work on rear connections. Universal mounting holes and DIN rail channels support virtually any component mounting requirement.
Applications
Floor standing enclosures are essential for motor control centers, PLC systems, drive installations, data centers, telecommunications facilities, and any application requiring substantial equipment capacity. Their robust construction and versatile configurations make them suitable for manufacturing, utilities, process industries, and commercial buildings.
