Stainless Steel Enclosures & Feeder Pillars

External Electrical Enclosures

Feeder Pillars & Enclosures

The RB range of external electrical enclosures form a part of the Ritherdon range of Feeder Pillars and was initially developed with the street lighting and highways industries in mind; however, their highly flexible, modular design means they are suitable as enclosures for protecting electrical and/or electronic equipment in the most inhospitable external environments (fabricated from stainless steel as standard).

Standard Enclosures Finishes

Stainless Steel Enclosures & Feeder Pillars

Stainless steel, powder coated finish as standard in 4003 grade of stainless steel
Natural, metal finish is available from a higher grade of steel (304 and 316 grade)
Four standard paint colours to suit typical urban and rural environments
- Black: RAL 9005 Gloss Black
- Dark Green: BS4800 14 C40 Gloss Green
- Light Grey: BS381C 631 Light Grey Gloss
- Dark Grey: BS381C 632 Dark Grey Gloss

Powder coated at no extra cost (available for all grades of stainless steel 4003, 304 and 316). Standard, 4003 grade of stainless steel is always powder coated to provide the best performance and quality finish. If left unpainted, the 4003 grade of stainless steel develops a patina, soft staining of the material. It won’t rust, however, this is not the finish we like for our product so we always powder coated all our enclosures made from our standard 4003 grade of stainless steel.

feeder pillar Lock Alternatives

The RB Cabinets are supplied with tri-key operated cam-locks as standard.

Other lock options available:

Pin hex camlock
Key operated stainless steel camlock
Three-point locking with padlocking L handle and shroud
Hasp, staple and shroud

optional Internal Accessory Kits

The other new feature of the RB Cabinet is that the internal, modular design permits the fitting of a range of extra equipment, from shelves and racks to climate control equipment etc. This means that cabinets with extra features don’t have to be specially made – reducing lead times and cost.

The kits can be supplied loose, pre-installed, or ordered and retrofitted at a later date.
