Introduction
In today’s fast-paced industrial and commercial environments, durable and reliable outdoor electrical kiosks are essential for secure power distribution, equipment housing, and digital display installations. The Back to Back Floor Standing Outdoor Kiosk is engineered to meet the demands of modern infrastructure with robust design, high ingress protection, and versatile customization options — making it ideal for both outdoor installations and harsh environments.
This comprehensive guide explores the features, benefits, applications, and technical highlights of the Back to Back Floor Standing Outdoor Kiosk, offering an in-depth look at why this solution stands out in durability, protection, and adaptability.
What Defines a Back to Back Floor Standing Outdoor Kiosk?
A floor standing outdoor kiosk is a free-standing enclosure designed to house electrical distribution equipment, digital displays, control panels, or power breakers. The Back to Back design enhances accessibility and functionality by offering access from both the front and rear, facilitating streamlined installations and easier maintenance.
This type of kiosk is particularly well-suited for environments that demand secure and weather-resistant enclosures — such as industrial sites, manufacturing floors, commercial complexes, utility installations, and public outdoor spaces.
Highly Durable Construction for Long-Lasting Performance
The backbone of the Back to Back Floor Standing Outdoor Kiosk is its high-grade steel frame and professional finish.
Premium Material and Protective Coating
- Material: Built from cold rolled mild steel that offers excellent strength, rigidity, and resistance to physical stress.
- Finish: Protected with a structured powder-coated surface that enhances corrosion resistance and ensures longevity even in harsh outdoor conditions.
This rugged construction is engineered to withstand impacts, fluctuations in temperature, and exposure to moisture — making it ideal for both urban and industrial settings.
Superior Weatherproofing with IP65 Protection
One of the most notable features of this outdoor kiosk is its IP65 ingress protection rating.
What IP65 Means
An IP65 rating signifies that the enclosure is:
- Completely dust-tight, preventing the ingress of fine particles.
- Protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, ensuring no harmful moisture enters the interior.
This high level of protection makes the kiosk well-suited for outdoor exposure — from rain and humidity to dusty and coastal environments. With full IP65 compliance certification, installers and end-users can trust that electrical components inside remain safe and operational.
Customizable Material Options
While the standard version uses cold rolled mild steel, customization options are available for enhanced durability based on specific site needs.
Optional Upgraded Materials
- 3CR12 stainless steel
- 304 stainless steel
- 316 stainless steel
These options provide increased corrosion resistance and longevity in highly corrosive environments – such as coastal locations or chemical plants – making them ideal for specialized installations.
Smart Design for Accessibility and Functionality
The Back to Back Floor Standing Outdoor Kiosk is thoughtfully designed for ease-of-use and efficient maintenance workflows.
Front and Rear Access
This back-to-back configuration gives service personnel:
- Front access for control units, breakers, or human-machine interface (HMI) panels.
- Rear access for busbars, cabling, and internal service components.
This dual-access approach improves workflow efficiency, reduces service time, and allows better organization of internal components.
Secure Lockable Doors
- Each side features a lockable door for secure access control.
- Weatherproofing extends to the canopy, providing additional shield from the elements.
These security features make it ideal for installations in public or unsupervised areas where tamper-proofing is critical.
Internal Structural Features for Professional Installations
Built-in features ensure that electrical and digital display installations are organized, safe, and compliant with modern standards.
Pre-installed Earthing Bolts
Both doors and the internal earth bar come with pre-installed earthing bolts, providing a reliable grounding path — essential for electrical safety.
Din Rail & Carrier Mount Compatibility
The kiosk supports both DIN rail systems and carrier mounts, allowing:
- Easy integration of circuit breakers
- Modular installation of control and power systems
- Flexible equipment arrangement
Busbar Mounting Space
It includes dedicated space for copper busbar assembly, ensuring professional distribution of power. (Copper busbars are available upon request.)
Cable Entry
An aluzinc gland plate located at the base with pre-formed knockouts makes cable entry organized and weather-tight.
Base and Mobility Enhancements
The integrated base design adds functional value beyond structural support.
High Stress Plinth with Forklift Entry
The kiosk rests on a sturdy 300mm high stress plinth that:
- Elevates the enclosure for additional protection against ground moisture.
- Includes forklift entry points for easy transportation and site placement by trained personnel.
This makes delivery and installation more efficient while protecting the kiosk from sub-ground elements.
