Carbon Steel

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is an ideal material for electrical cabinets. It is known for its:

  • Strength: Carbon steel is a hard, durable material that will withstand impact and other damage.

  • Security: This metal’s strength deters unauthorized access to the electrical enclosure.

  • Malleability: Carbon steel can be formed into any shape, so it will work with any custom cabinet design.

  • Fire-resistance: Carbon steel is fireproof and will protect equipment from extreme heat and fires.

  • Cost-effectiveness: This metal is made in thinner sheets, resulting in a lower price.

At APX Enclosures, we make electrical cabinets from carbon steel for a variety of applications. Our engineers can design your cabinet to your specifications and include custom features and styles.

All of our enclosures are made in the USA!
