Designed for swift assembly

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.
