Portable Socket Box

A Portable Socket Box (or Portable Distribution Box) is a compact, self-contained unit that provides multiple power outlets from a single heavy-duty industrial inlet. It's designed to safely distribute power in locations where fixed wiring is unavailable or impractical.

KRIPAL's portable boxes are built with robust materials like flame-retardant Polycarbonate (PC) and feature CEE format sockets to deliver reliable, temporary power for tools, machinery, and equipment on job sites, stages, and workshops.

The key advantages are mobility, safety, and organized power distribution.

Complete Mobility: Easily transported to any location that requires temporary power.

Enhanced Safety: Features like Integrated RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, circuit breakers (MCBs), and high IP44 or IP67 ratings protect against electric shock, overload, and environmental hazards like water and dust.

Efficient Power Management: Allows multiple devices to be powered simultaneously from a single source in an organized manner, eliminating tangled extension cords and daisy-chaining.

KRIPAL Portable Socket Boxes are incredibly versatile for both industrial and commercial applications:

• Construction Sites: Powering handheld tools, temporary lighting, and small machinery.
• Event Production & Film Sets: Distributing power to lighting rigs, sound equipment, and food stalls.
• Workshops & Garages: Providing additional, safe outlets for power tools and diagnostic equipment.
• Outdoor Work & Landscaping: Operating equipment in gardens, parks, and remote locations.
• Emergency & Maintenance Work: As a quick-deployment power source for repairs.

For maximum safety, ensure the box includes:

• RCD Protection: Cuts power in the event of an earth fault to prevent electric shock.
• Circuit Breaker (MCB): Protects against overloads and short circuits.
• High IP Rating: An IP44 rating protects against water splashes, while an IP67 rating makes the unit dust-tight and waterproof for use in harsh conditions.
• Robust Enclosure: A housing made of impact-resistant, flame-retardant material like Polycarbonate.
• Strain Relief: Proper cable glands to prevent damage to the power cord.

The IP (Ingress Protection) rating is critical for choosing the right box for your environment:

• IP44 (Standard): Protects against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. Ideal for indoor use or sheltered outdoor areas.
• IP67 (Heavy-Duty): Offers complete protection against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep.

This is essential for use on muddy construction sites, in food processing areas subject to washdown, or in any wet environment.

Yes. KRIPAL offers customizable configurations to suit various needs.

You can find boxes with a combination of:

• Standard Schuko Sockets (for general tools)
• Industrial CEE Sockets (16A, 32A in 230V or 400V)

Yes. Our portable distribution boxes are designed and manufactured to comply with relevant international safety standards, including IEC/EN 60309 for industrial plugs and sockets and IEC 61439 for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies, ensuring they meet rigorous safety and performance requirements.
