Built for the Farm
Farming has definitely evolved over the past 100 years.
We all hark back to the Old MacDonald’s of yesteryear in their ¾ ton trucks, manual milking sheds, and those cool old single cylinder engine water pumps, complete with all the animal sounds we used to sing. Somehow we don’t think “Old Macdonald had a fully-integrated-agricultural-produce-manufacturing-facility, E, I, E, I, O," has the same folksy ring to it. (try singing that to junior tonight)
However, when it comes to electricity on a farm, these days, it’s important that power is being distributed as it should. There’s still a lot of state-of-the-art farm machinery hanging off 40 year old fuse boards, and if these fail, things can go pear-shaped really quick.
We’ve come up with a few designs that are often called on to help upgrade some of the more “elderly” farm DBs.
Cubo P is an economical IP65 switchboard building system which can be customized to fit almost any requirements, and provide a tidy, safe solution in harsh or wet environments.
We also have designs for modular series cowshed switchboards for 100-250A applications.
The switchboard pictured above replaced, upgraded and consolidated the existing controls and meter panel into one safe, roomy, and durable switchboard. Made from the Cubo P panel building system, this polycarbonate switchboard is IP65 and impact resistant. Making it the perfect design for farm applications.
The switchboards in the design are the ones we frequently get asked about. However, we know that each switchboard application is different and are able to create a design especially for you. (We’re nice like that!).
