Electrical Enclosure Stands
Electrical enclosure stands are used to elevate industrial enclosures off the floor while supporting stability, accessibility, and environmental protection. In many applications, enclosures are designed to house electrical and automation components while helping protect internal equipment from surrounding conditions and reducing operator exposure to energized parts. For freestanding and wall-mount enclosure systems, floor stands can provide the added height needed for installation, maintenance access, drainage clearance, or application-specific mounting requirements.
Hoffman floor stand kits are designed for use with many Hoffman wall-mount and freestanding enclosures. These stands are available in painted 12-gauge steel as well as stainless steel options, including Type 304 and Type 316. When properly installed on compatible Hoffman Type 4 and Type 12 enclosures, these floor stand kits help maintain UL/CSA Type 4, Type 4X on stainless steel models, and Type 12 ratings. Each kit includes two stands, and larger enclosures may require two sets for proper support.
Hoffman PROLINE G2 floor stand kits are designed to mount depth-wise on PROLINE G2 enclosures, securing through both the corner blocks and frame drain holes. These 12-gauge painted steel stands elevate the enclosure approximately 1 foot off the ground, making them useful for applications that require additional clearance beneath the enclosure. Selecting the right enclosure stand depends on enclosure type, size, material requirements, and the environmental conditions of the installation.
