IN GROUND UNITS

Flip Lid Units for continuous unattended use

THE IN GROUND / FLIP LID UNITS PROVIDE ROUND-THE-CLOCK POWER FOR DAYS, WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS ON END


They minimise the potential for damage owing to vandalism and harsh weather because they operate unattended with the lid locked down, with only the power cable protruding.

In-Ground Units can be used in smaller spaces to supply an outdoor power supply and telephone connection. They have a double locking lid and can be operated with lid locked down. The lids are raised manually and are gas strut assisted.

Pop Up Power Supplies® range of IGUs complement their electrical feeder pillars and steel bollards, to offer a large range of outdoor pop up sockets and become your one-stop-shop for all your outdoor power requirements.
