Switchgear assemblers can enjoy
time and money savings, says Rittal,
by using its new user-friendly Flex-
Block base/plinth system. Benefits
claimed include fast, more efficient,
tool-free assembly of individual
components and logistical processes.

Rittal’s new base/plinth system
comprises four identical corner
modules and covers made of plastic,
plus symmetrical sheet steel side
trim panels. The modular design and
increased assembly space allow the
corner pieces, which support the
entire weight of the enclosure, to be
quickly and easily fitted underneath
the enclosure. Once the enclosure is
configured, trim panels are simply
clipped into position. Designed for
loads of up to 15,000N, the 100mm
high corner modules also have
hexagonal slots for adaptor sleeves.
