Engineering Safe, Metered Power for Marinas, Moorings and Campsites

The PUPS Cruiser from Pop Up Power Supplies is a power distribution unit engineered for marinas, moorings and camping sites, where hook-up points must work reliably through every season and stand up to water, weather and constant public use. Built around individual socket protection, a stainless steel enclosure and optional per-socket metering, the Cruiser gives specifiers, M&E consultants and site operators a clear, standards-compliant solution that can be planned with confidence from the outset.

The unit is offered in two configurations to suit the layout of a site. The single-sided Cruiser Mono delivers two 16 Amp CEE sockets from a 32 Amp incoming supply, making it well suited to single berths, pitches or a run of moorings along one side. The double-sided Cruiser Duo delivers four 16 amp CEE sockets from an incoming supply of up to 63 amps, with connections on both faces so one unit can serve berths on either side of a pontoon or neighbouring pitches. Both versions operate on a 240V single-phase supply at 50Hz to 60Hz and stand 1,204mm tall. The Mono measures 304 x 340mm and weighs 35kg, while the Duo measures 304 x 480mm and weighs 60kg.

Electrical safety is designed at socket level. Each socket is protected by its own RCBO, combining overcurrent and earth leakage protection in a single device. Because every connection is protected independently, a fault on one socket trips that socket alone, leaving the remaining supplies live for other users. The incoming supply cable terminates at an internal connection point inside the lockable enclosure, keeping live terminals secure and out of reach. The Cruiser is built in compliance with EN 60947-1 and EN 61439, the standards governing low-voltage switchgear and assemblies.

Sockets are rated IP44 as standard, protecting against splashing water from any direction and solid objects larger than 1mm. For pontoons, low-lying moorings and other locations exposed to heavy spray or standing water, IP67 sockets are available on demand, offering dust-tight sealing and protection against temporary immersion.

The enclosure is formed from press-bent 2mm AISI 304 stainless steel, giving a rigid, durable housing built for year-round outdoor use. For coastal marinas and sites exposed to salt air, AISI 316L stainless steel is available on request. Its molybdenum content provides greater resistance to chloride corrosion, making it the recommended grade wherever units sit close to the sea. Units are supplied in RAL 7035 as standard, with other RAL colours available at a small additional cost.

Individual energy consumption meters can be fitted to each socket, recording exactly how much power is drawn at every connection. This gives operators accurate data to bill users on actual consumption, monitor demand across a site, and identify unusually high usage at individual berths or pitches.

Together, these features make the Cruiser a practical choice for marina berths, canal and river moorings, campsites, caravan parks and holiday parks, wherever multiple users need a safe, separately protected and measurable supply. For specifiers, the choice between Mono and Duo, AISI 304 and AISI 316L, and IP44 and IP67 sockets means each unit can be matched to its exact position on site, from a sheltered campsite pitch to an exposed coastal pontoon, without over-specifying elsewhere.

With per-socket RCBO protection, a choice of stainless steel grades and ingress ratings, and optional metering, the Cruiser can be specified precisely to the demands of each site. Protected at every socket. Built for the elements and measured to the last kilowatt-hour.
