Requesting assistance locating power enclosure

unsung

Active member
Some companies make these finished cabinets/enclosures for mounting and routing electrical equipment in vehicles. I am trying to source just this enclosure, or a similar one. I have emailed about four companies in Australia, including Redarc, but none have replied. I am hoping there is something stateside to save on shipping but if that is the only path then so be it. I already have the Redarc Manager 30 Redvision combo Rogue/Prime package so I only need the enclosure. Seems these companies want to sell their completed kits for thousands of dollars over the parts alone just to wire them up. Well, I wire up nuclear plants so I think I can handle it.

Ideally the size I would need is 16"x30" with max 2" of depth/volume in the enclosure. The length and width can be fudged a bit but using a 4' deep box is not in my ideal situation. There has to be something out there, digikey doesn't have it. Most enclosures I find are for industrial applications and not something you'd really want in a vehicle simply because of sizing. My space will be in my Land Cruiser on the side of my Trekboxx fridge cage, so space is limited.

I get that they want to sell completed packages, but that isn't something I have any interest in.

I have added a couple of examples for your viewing pleasure.

I imagine the enclosures are something they make or have made for them custom.

The closest I can think of are thin IEC enclosures (like Eaton B-line below) but those are going to have a door and full back, which may be redundant in this application. You know what I mean, for control panels, meter boxes, service entrances and such.

Why don't you have exactly what you need made? Any fab or panel shop should be able to punch and fold one up easily.
 
Yeah, I am exploring that route, a machinist at work has offered. I just didn't want to be subject to someone's free time since my entire interior is out right now.
 
Fwiw,
At my job we had good results with a local Sign Shop. They have loads of experience making custom electrical enclosures.
