Some data equipment gets to live life in the comfy confines of an air-conditioned office. Not so much in industries like HVAC, oil and gas, water or alt energy.
Whether indoors or outdoors, stuff happens. Like blowing dust. Seeping oil. Falling objects. Freezing snow. And we build industrial data enclosures to handle it all.
How do we do it? With a full-scale, on-site testing lab. Backed by a team of engineers up for any challenge. All in the same facility. So you get what you need when you need it.
We call that racking your world to the extreme.
“Our industrial cabinets protect your assets from intense environments.”
Danilo Bonilla – Regional Sales Manager
Indoor and outdoor environments can be unpredictable and damaging to data equipment if your cabinet isn’t built to handle unexpected circumstances. Customers are choosing Great Lakes because of our ability to handle the unknown.
A major grocery retailer uses one style NEMA 4X cabinet to protect rack mount equipment found throughout its distribution centers: near freezers; warehouse floor; and outdoors at the facility entrance. A single Great Lakes SKU includes the cabinet, installed accessories, and the access control handle which regulates entry to the cabinet. One style cabinet, fully integrated, simple ordering–it’s important when time is money.
As one of the most advanced sheet metal fabricators in the Northeast, it makes sense that Great Lakes serves as an OEM provider for one of the most sophisticated manufacturers of control panels in the Great Lakes Region. Consistent, quality production of multiple styles of NEMA 12, 3, and 4 products has created a strong partnership and continued growth for both companies. Collaboration efforts ensure that production, customization, and inventory requirements are always met and exceeded.
A NEMA 12K cabinet with intelligent access control rises to the challenge of protecting rack mount equipment from airborne hazards and accidental/intentional physical threats from user access. The cabinet is integrated (we call it STACK!) with accessories and select third-party equipment at Great Lakes so that it ships and is ready for immediate deployment upon delivery. Afterall, time and security is of the essence as this customer revamps its manufacturing facility so that it is equipped for government contract work.
Functional electronic equipment is important to any military operation, but especially so when it’s helping guide the US Air Force’s newly deployed freighter jets. NEMA 4X cabinets, deployed in hangars on this base, protect equipment from the Gulf Coast’s tropical environment: severe heat, rain, and salt water. Computer equipment is safely stored in the bottom compartment while a flip down cover with compression latches provide quick access to a monitor and keyboard.
